Serial Protocol Descriptions

Performer supports several serial communications protocols.
Switches inside the Performer frame must be properly set
depending upon which protocol you will be using. Refer to the
Common Configuration portion of the Installation section for switch
setting instructions.

The following pages provide examples of messages in the various
protocols and describe any operational conditions which must be
met when using a production switcher protocol. Descriptions for
the following protocol are presented in the order shown:

Performer ASCII

Performer Remote Control, TEN–20/20–TEN

TEN–20/20–TEN Serial Interface

TEN–XL ASCII

TEN–XL SMPTE

Model 100 and 110 Production Switcher

Model 200 Production Switcher

Model 300 Production Switcher

SMPTE 3245-E

Table 3-1 provides a cross-reference between Hexidecimal and
ASCII characters.

Any protocol which allows a protect must refresh the protect
within a constant 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 about half a second. When Parity or
Framing errors are received, the switcher displays ERR R for
about half a second.
