Configurator Serial Protocol Table
5−25 VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
Serial Protocol
The Serial Protocol table must be used when a VM/SI controller board is first connected to VTRs, control panels, and other
serial control devices. This includes “remote” (third party) switchers.
†
This table is also used when a Saturn video processor serves as a connection point for an MPK bus, when a PC acts as a Soft-
ware Control Panel.
‡
It is also used to configure the serial ports of the CM 4000 Control Module. §

The VM 3000 has eight serial ports, and the SI 3000 has 16; but the protocol for these ports must be set in pairs. The protocol
setting on the menu shown above corresponds to the system shown on page 1−2. On SI 3000 SI1, ports 1 through 4 are config-
ured for Sony serial machines, ports 5 and 6 for MPK control panels, ports 7 and 8 for Ampex serial VTRs, and 9 and 10 for
ESbus machines (such as Philips D−1 VTRs).
The columns on the right side of the table show the baud rate setting for each port (or port pair).

Some of the functions described in this section may be extra−cost options. For more information, see page 1−29.
