For RS-232 control and IR control, use a cable with
ONLY pins 2, 3, and 5 connected.
For contact closure control, use a cable with pins 2
and 3 NOT connected.
RS-232 communications protocols:
• 9600 baud • 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit, no parity • no flow control
For contact closure control, short the pin for the desired input
to pin 5 to select that device. To force an input to be always selected, leave the short in place.
N
For contact closure control, auto switch mode must be off. See “Switch mode (video switchers)“
on the back page. Contact closure control overrides front panel input selections.
