Downstream key control using GPI signals

You can use signals from the GPI output connector on the BVE-900/910/ 2000 to turn the DFS-700/700P downstream key function on and off. Input the GPI signals to the T2 connector on the rear panel of the DFS-700/ 700P. (The BVE-2000 can also use 9-pin serial control signals to turn the downstream key on and off and to set the transition duration.)

Preparations

Make the following preparations to control the DFS-700/700P from the

BVE-900/2000-series editor.

For details about operation, refer to the Operating Instructions or User’s Guide supplied with the editor.

On the DFS-700/700P

• In page 1 of the setup menu, set F3(PORTS) to “PVE-500”.
