External Control

7About the external control

This monitor has two external control terminals.

•MAKE/TRIGGER terminal (RJ-45): The following external control systems are available.

(1)MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the monitor by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it (☞ below).

(2)TRIGGER (trigger) system: Controls the monitor by sending the pulse signal instantaneously to the corresponding pin terminal (☞ below).

•RS-232C terminal (D-sub 9-pin): Controls the monitor with the RS-232C system. (☞ page 15)

•Control priority is as follows.

MAKE > TRIGGER, RS-232C, buttons and menu on the monitor

•You can use the external control even when “CONTROL LOCK” is set to “ON” (☞ page 13).

•When the monitor is off (on standby), external control is not available.

7Using the MAKE/TRIGGER system

You can control the monitor by a personal computer or dedicated controller*1.

*1 The controller is not commercially available. Consult your dealer if you need it.

The MAKE/TRIGGER terminal is configured as follows. You can assign a function to each pin terminal in “REMOTE SETTING” (☞ “PIN1, PIN2, PIN3, PIN4, PIN5” on page 13).

	Pin No.	Pin name	Pin No.	Pin name
This is a female	1	PIN1	5	PIN5
terminal.	2	PIN2	6	PIN6 (TALLY)*2
	3	PIN3	7	PIN7 (ENABLE)*3
	4	PIN4	8	PIN8 (GND)

*2 The 6th pin terminal controls turning on or off the tally lamp (available to control even when the 7th pin terminal is invalid.)

*3 The 7th pin terminal makes the external control valid/invalid. Make sure to control the terminal by the MAKE system.

•You cannot change the functions assigned to the pin terminals from 6th to 8th.

•When “FORMAT INDICATOR” in “FUNCTION SETTING” is set to “ON,” the TALLY lamp cannot be controlled by the external control (☞ page 12)

To assign the functions to the pin terminals

For the operation procedure, see page 7.

1Select “REMOTE SETTING” on the SET-UP MENU.

2Set “TYPE SEL.” to “SET.”

3Select a pin name (“PIN1” – “PIN5”) for which you want to assign a function, then select the function you want to assign.

• For selectable functions, see the tables below.

*4 While controlling with the MAKE system, the screen is switched between normal screen (opening) and blue screen (short-circuiting). While controlling with the TRIGGER system, the screen changes as follows.

Normal screen	Red screen
Blue screen	Green screen

*5 Selects which functions in “AREA MARKER” are activated, non-“R-” items or “R-” items (☞ page 10).

*6 While controlling with the MAKE system, the level meter is switched between displayed (short-circuiting) and hidden (opening). When “LEVEL METER ch” is set to “OFF,” the level meter is not displayed (“NO EFFECT” appears). While controlling with the TRIGGER system, the number of the audio channels displayed is changed (between OFF, 12CH and 8CH).

*7 Displays the information shown when the button of the current input is pressed (☞ “About the Status Display” on page 7). While controlling with the MAKE system, the information is displayed only at the moment of short-circuiting.

•You cannot assign the same function to different pin terminals.

•The TRIGGER system switches each function by short-circuiting the pin terminal for about 1 second and opening it.
