3 Dome Protocols
3.1 Current Protocol Support
A VK-2 is capable of controlling a mixture of two different types of dome. All domes of one type must be
connected to the “
DOMES-1” output, and all domes of the other type must be connected to the “DOMES-
2” output. These outputs must each be allocated one of the following protocol numbers (See sections 1.5.3
and 1.5.4):
Note that some domes support protocols from other manufacturers, or may be controlled via a protocol
converter. It is important to select the correct protocol from the list below, not necessarily the manufacturer
of the dome.
