Chapter 6: External Control
The Router’s Approach to Control Integration
The Router provides control from external systems like automation and event controllers. As there is
a significant legacy of protocols and usage models in current practice, the Router supports a variety
of external control protocols, offering a range of commands and control capabilities in order to make
control integration as easy as possible. These protocols can be used with both the RS-232 and Ethernet
physical interfaces. This approach generally allows the Router to be used without adaption in current
systems.
RS-232 Interface and 9-Pin D Connector Pin Out
One leg of the RS-232 and 100Mb Ethernet Interface Adaptor Cable, or “Y” cable, provides a 9-pin
female D connector for the RS-232 interface. The pin-out for that connector is as follows:
Router Control Panel (5830) GPI Inputs
The Router Control Panel provides 8 GPI contact closure inputs. These can be configured on a specific
Router Control Panel to integrate it with other equipment. When used in a camera shading installation
as the reference monitor input selector, GPI connections from the joystick button on the camera
control head can make camera selections. In a master control bypass application, a GPI “panic button”
can be used to force the system into bypass.
Overview of Supported Control Protocols
The Router supports the following control protocols:
• Avenue FMR
• Grass Valley TenXL
• Grass Valley 100
