APPENDIX A

LD100/LD100U Remote Control Operation

Overview

Remote control of the LD100 / LD100U Line Doubler is provided by an RS-232 serial interface connector located on the rear panel of the unit. A external controller such as a computer or integrated system controller with an RS-232 interface may be used to control all user accessible functions of the Line Doubler.

RS-232 controllable functions include: Video, Y/C (S-VHS), RGB, Component (YUV), Brightness, Contrast, Color, Tint, Noise Reduction, Detail Level, Auto-Tint, Digital Filter On/Off, Freeze On/Off, Echo On/Off, Help, Status and Return to Factory Preset.

Communication Settings

Communication with the LD100 Line Doubler is accomplished by setting the following conditions: 9600, No Parity, 8 Data Bits and 1 Stop Bit. The fac- tory BUAD rate is set at 9600, but rates of 1200, 2400 and 4800 are also available.

Baud Rate Selection

To change the RS-232 BAUD rate, remove the top cover of the LD100 Line Doubler. A 4 switch Dip switch is located on the front panel. Set the switch- es from the table shown below. If the BAUD rate is changed, the LD100 MUST be powered off and then on for the new BAUD rate to take effect.
