2. DESCRIPTION
The SR6-SONY, Serial In to Parallel Out Converter, provides simple emulation of the SONY
BVU-800.
The SR6 converts the following SONY serial commands into six open-collector GPIs:
RECORD, PLAY, STOP, REWIND and FAST FORWARD
Additionally, the SR6-SONY accepts the following 6 tallies from the controlled device, to provide
real-time status to the control point:
LOCAL, RECORD, PLAY, STOP, REWIND and FAST FORWARD
NOTE: It is recommended that an opto-isolator be used on each tally
line from the Controlled Device to the SR6-SONY.
The SR6-SONY can be configured to control an AMPEX VPR-2 or provide a standard 250
millisecond, pulsed GPI output, using the Rear Panel DIP switches.
