JUPITER CONTROL OF ENCORE
The VM 3000 can send switching commands to a Grass Valley Encore control system (which can in turn send the commands
to a router).
The serial ports on the back of the Encore System Controller Board (SCB) use RJ45 connectors; the port selected for the VM
connection must be configured for RS−422 operation with an internal jumper. For more information about the SCB ports,
refer to the Encore installation and user manuals.

Cat5 cable (and coupler) can be added if needed. Further instructions are provided with the cable kit.
