Connecting for Remote Control

FOutput connectors —

•DSC 3G-HD A HDMI output — Connect an HDMI display device to this female HDMI connector. Secure the HDMI input to the HDMI connector using the LockIt bracket (see “Securing the HDMI Connector using the LockIt Bracket”).

•DSC HD-3G A 3G/HD/SD-SDI outputs — Connect one or two SDI output devices to one or both of these female BNC connectors. These output ports transmit signals that follow SMPTE standards 259M, 292M, and 424M.

GRS-232 port — For serial RS-232 control, connect a host computer or control system to the 3-pole captive screw connector (see “Connecting for Remote Control”).

Securing the HDMI Connector Using the LockIt Bracket

After connecting an input or output device to an HDMI connector, secure the connector in place with the provided LockIt bracket as follows:

1.Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection.

2.Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it.

3.Place the LockIt lacing bracket onto the screw and slide it up against the HDMI connector. Tighten the screw to secure the bracket.

4.Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and LockIt lacing bracket.

5.While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.

To connect your computer or control system to the DSC RS-232 port, you can use an

Extron Universal Control cable (UC50' or UC100') or other female 9-pin-to-bare-wire

RS-232 cable.

1.If the provided 3-pole captive screw connector is not already plugged into the RS-232 port on the rear panel, attach it.

2.Wire the unterminated end of the RS-232 cable to the attached 3-pole captive screw connector as follows:

a.Connect the transmit wire to the left pin, which plugs into the Tx (transmit) port.

b.Connect the receive wire to the fourth pin, which plugs into the Rx (receive) port.

c.Connect the ground wire to the last pin, which plugs into the ground port, marked with G.
