Serial Transport Connection
The TRANSPORT connection uses the industry-standard RS-422 Sony 9-pin P2 protocol (Ampex VPR-3
is also supported) for controlling external serial transports such as audio or videotape machines. It is
intended for transport control of a single external device. This port will send out the appropriate transport
commands when the transport functions of the MMP are engaged through the front panel or via the MM-
RC Remote controller. Use Setup Menu 000 (Control Mode) to set the MMP to control external devices
via the Serial Transport connection. A video reference source is recommended for this type of operation.
Serial Editor Connection
The EDITOR connection uses the industry-standard RS-422 Sony 9-pin P2 protocol. The Editor
connection allows for controlling the MMP-16’s transport functions from a standard Video editor
controller or other external device. Use Setup Menu 000 (Control Mode) to set the MMP for control via
the Editor connection. A video reference source is required for this type of operation.
Parallel Transport
The PARALLEL TRANSPORT connector allows use of remote control devices that operate by sending
messages via parallel signals for the motion control keys. There are +12 volts available to drive switch
lamps in conjunction with the tally outputs that are available for each key. The pinout diagram for the
Parallel transport connector is given in Appendix D: Cable Information.
Parallel Tracks
Since there are no audio inputs on the MMP-16, the PARALLEL TRACKS connector has no function in
the current software release. The Parallel tracks connector may be used in future releases of the MMP-16.
