Most sources that are RS232 controllable provide a protocol document (usually from their Tech Support Department) that will have all of the necessary information, including
7) CONNECT ALL STATUS
There are two types of status (power synchronization) ports on the
The SRC1 through SRC6 RCA connections are RCA jack ports that are “looking” for either voltage or a video signal from the source. If a DVD is to be hooked up as SRC2 (use the worksheets to help with source connection layouts), an RCA video cable would be used to connect the DVD’s composite video output to the SRC2 RCA Status connection port. If the DVD has only one composite video output, and that is being used to show video on the TV, an RCA
IMPORTANT NOTE: RCA SOURCE STATUS INPUTS ARE DESIGNED WITH
If the source to be “synched” doesn’t have a video output, one of the Niles Synching Accessories can be used instead of video. Most Niles Synching Accessories use a 3.5mm jack as the output. This 3.5mm jack must be changed to mate with the RCA connector on the
8) CONNECT 12V
The 12V trigger output jacks use 3.5mm mono plug with standard “Tip and Collar” configuration. The tip is 12V DC 150mA when activated and the collar is ground. Niles has two accessory cables for use with these 12V output jacks (FG00724 or FG00933). Simply plug one of these cables with a 3.5mm mono plug into one of the three assignable jacks. Plug the other end of the cable into the device that will be triggered or activated.
