CONNECTION TO PHILIPS DD SERIES (“DIAMOND”)
An example of hardware connections are shown in Figure 2−95.
S The “Diamond protocol” cable to one of the DD serial ports is required for display of routing switcher status on
the DD console. For cable pin−outs, see page 2−109.
S The “ASCII bus protocol” cable to the DD XBAR port is required if switch commands will be sent from the
DD to Jupiter; for example, when a Venus router is used to provide additional AUX outputs for the DD, or used
to provide Pre−Routing. For cable pin−outs, see Figure 2−96.
S If desired, an MPK control panel could be used for DD Pre−Routing. For cable pin−outs, see page 2−109.
“Diamond” and “ASCII” protocols are set on the Serial Protocol table (page 5−25); and the switcher is identified on the MPK
Devices table (page 5−127).
Installation of MPK panels was discussed on page 2−51.
Refer to the DD installation manual for information about the Diamond serial ports and operating instructions.
