Serial Protocol Descriptions

Performer-HD supports several serial communications protocols. Switches
inside the Performer-HD frame must be properly set depending upon
which protocol you will be using.

The following pages provide examples of messages in the various proto-
cols and describe any operational conditions which must be met when us-
ing a production switcher protocol.

Table 3-1

provides a cross-reference

between Hexadecimal and ASCII characters.

Any protocol which allows a protect must refresh the protect within a con-
stant 30-second window or the protect will be removed. In the following
descriptions, Protocol Error, Parity, and Framing errors are mentioned.
When Protocol Error is called, the switcher displays

ERR P

for half a second.

When Parity or Framing errors are received, the switcher displays

ERR R

for

half a second.
