Connecting the RDU 1510 Under Monitor Display
A Remote Display Unit (RDU) can be controlled via Aurora Playout.
Use a cable that has a DB9 serial connector on one end and an RJ11 connection on
the other. The DB9 end connects to the COM1 serial port on the back of the Aurora
Playout, and the RJ11 end connects to the port labeled "Control" on the back of the
RDU-1510. This is an RS-422/RS-232 serial communication port.
The RJ11 connector’s pinout is described in the table below. Pin 1 is at the bottom of
the connector. Aurora Playout can be connected to either pins 3 and 4 for RS-422 or
pin 4 for RS-232. When using RS-232, pin 3 must be connected to ground. The remote
display unit does not transmit data to this serial port connector.
