Sony Installation Notes
Only one Sony VTR can be connected per port.
Late model Sony machines use a remote control protocol referred to as Sony serial, and these can be connected directly to
individual ports of a CM 4000 board. Sony serial machines include the BVH−2000, BVH−2500, BVU−800, BVW−10, and
BVW−40.
Other VTRs
Some VTRs not described above use the Sony Serial protocol. Please contact Grass Valley for additional information.
