Configurator Serial Protocol Table
5−29 VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
GNP (Grass Valley Native Protocol) is used for Jupiter control of a Grass Valley SMS 7000 or Encore control system
(which is in turn connected to a routing switcher). When selected, this entry will apply to VM/SI odd−numbered ports
only.
MPK is the “Message per Keystroke” protocol used for all MPK devices, such as CP−3000 series control panels. (For
a complete list of MPK devices, see Dev Type on page 5−110.)
Operating a control panel at any baud rate other than 38400 will limit the number of panels per port to one.
For use with a modem, the CP 3000 panel can be equipped with either a 1200 baud PROM or a 2400 baud PROM;
other panels allow the baud rate to be set at the front panel. For more information, refer to page 2−108.
Nv (NVISION)protocol is the same as ESControl except it is not refreshed; it is intended for use with Nvision data rout-
ers. When selected, this entry will apply to VM/SI odd−numbered ports only.
RKX is a routing switcher protocol.
RPX is a multi−site remote switching protocol. See page 2−86.
SNY (Sony) is for the Sony machine control protocol.
SCT (Sony Control) is a custom Sony routing switcher protocol (PURS). When selected, this entry will apply to VM/SI
odd−numbered ports only. This protocol requires a 3rd party interface not supplied by Grass Valley.
PL (Party Line) is for VM 3000 boards on which the Party Line port is active; “Party Line” would be selected for serial
ports 7 and 8. Note that selecting “Party Line” does not actually cause the serial ports to operate according to Party Line
protocol; in fact, it causes the ports to be switched off and the Party Line port to be switched on. (This arrangement is
used because there is only one hardware controller available for serial ports 7−8 and the Party Line port.) The Party Line
port must be configured using the Party Line description table (page 5−167).
TCS/TC2 (Tcs 1 and Tcs 2) — Systems requiring these protocols are shown on page 2−96. If “TCS” is selected, the
CP (Control Panel) version of the protocol will automatically be assigned to the odd side of the port pair and the MI
(Machine Interface) version of the protocol will automatically be assigned to the even side of the port pair.
“TC2” only applies to MCS−2000 applications. When selected, it will automatically be assigned to the odd side of the
port pair (which is connected to the MCS); the even side of the pair would not be available for use.
TRI (Triton) routing switcher protocol applies to VM/SI odd−numbered ports only.
TSL−UMD (TSL) is for Television Systems Ltd. under monitor displays. For more information, see Appendix T.
VT_ is a custom protocol.

Set on page 5−13 if you need more information.)
