6 Configuration and Distribution of Control
Data
The TP-410 distributes VGA, audio and control data signals:
•
The VGA and audio signals always operate as a 1:10 distributor: the input
signal is distributed to all 10 outputs
•
By default, the control data is distributed to all 10 outputs and the reply is
received from output 1
Using the TP-410 you can configure and distribute control data via the TP-410, in
the local or remote mode.
You can select the TP output/s to which the control data is distributed, as well as
the TP output for reply, using the Protocol 2000 configuration commands (see
Section 12 ).
Note that Protocol 2000 commands are sent together with the
distributed control data. This applies to a single unit or multiple
cascaded units, supplying up to 150 destination control points.
6.1 The Local Mode
In the local mode, you can configure and distribute the control data via the
RS-232/RS-485 port or the Ethernet port on the TP-410 rear panel. Each
connected unit is identified by the machine number and the output to which it is
connected.
6.1.1 Connecting a PC via RS-232/RS-485
In this example, a local computer graphics source is connected to the UXGA IN
15-pin HD connector and the S/PDIF audio input of the TP-410 unit that is in the
local mode. Outputs 2 and 5 are connected to TP-126 units and output 10 is
connected to the TP IN RJ-45 connector of an additional TP-410 unit that is in the
remote mode (see Section 6.1.3 ). The system is controlled by a laptop via
RS-232. Each machine in this configuration is identified by its address number
and output location, as illustrated in Figure 8 .
