Sony

The Sony protocol is not directly supported. However, a specific Sony card can be used to
emulate the GVG Series 7000 Native Protocol. The card is named HKSPC and it only supports
Ethernet connection. Please use the Sony HKSPC (GVGNP Emulator) driver with the HKSPC card
and not our GVG 7000 Native Protocol driver.

Quick Info

Ethernet vs. Serial Communications

The initial task in setting up the communications parameters involves specifying whether
Ethernet or serial communications will be used. If you choose Ethernet, you will be prompted
to set the Ethernet address and port. The default port is 9100. It should not need changed
unless port 9100 is not allowed on your network. If a new port will be specified, make sure that
it matches the port setting of the matrix controller. The default port value of the matrix
controller is also 9100.

Serial Communication Settings

Use the Control In port on the controller (UCM). The serial port parameters are the same
regardless of whether RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 is being used. The parameters are fixed at
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1stop bit (8N1).
