Switcher Polling Address
Performer will accept a polling address from 0 to 255. A polling address is
necessary if more than one switcher is being controlled by a single control-
ler. The full address range is not available to all protocols. Refer to the list
below for protocol address ranges:
■ Performer ASCII Full Range
■ GVG Model 100 or 110 Full Range
■ SMPTE 3245-E 40-255 (28H-FFH)
Serial Communications Protocol Selection
Performer is designed to allow serial control from multiple sources. Several
communications protocols are serviced; RS232, ASCII and SMPTE are
available by setting the proper switches. Protocols and their applications
are listed in
Table 2-4 .
To set up a protocol, select protocol, message parity, bit rate, and switcher
polling address. For ASCII protocols, also set serial port data bits at 7 or 8.
For other protocols, the data bits are automatically set at 8. Performer serial
port stop bits are automatically set at 1.
