Serial Protocol

The Serial Protocol table must be used when a CM 4000 System Controller is first connected to VTRs, control panels, and

other serial control devices. This includes “remote” (third party) switchers.†

This table is also used when a Saturn video processor serves as a connection point for an MPK bus, and/or when a PC acts

as a Software Control Panel.‡
