External interfaces This unit comes with three connectors to support four external interfaces: a GPI input connector, RS-422A/RS-232 (9-pin) connector and a Tally output connector. Select the connector that suits the editing controller model used. ∫ GPI (general purpose interface) This enables the use of auto takes with the GPI output of the external controller. At the fall of the GPI signal, wipe/mix set on the panel or DSK or Fade is executed. ∫ RS-422A This enables the AG-A850 external editing controller to be connected to the unit and the VTR to be controlled from a remote location. ≥ Functions that can be controlled from the AG-A850 ± Wipe settings ± Mixing ± Auto take time and auto fade time settings ± Downstream key fade-in and fade-out ± Cross point source 1/source 2 (source 2/source 3 or source 3/source 4) switching (Cross mode switching is performed by the RS422A/RS-232C selector switch on the rear panel. Support for the editing controller is shown below.) ≥ Connections 1) Set the RS-422A/RS-232C selector switch to "RS-422A." 2) Connect the connecting cable from the AG-A850 to the editing controller connector on this unit. 3) The pin layout of the editing controller connector is shown below. 54321 9876 Connector (9P) Pin No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Signal FRAME GROUND TRANSMIT A RECEIVE B RECEIVE COMMON SPARE TRANSMIT COMMON TRANSMIT B RECEIVE A FRAME GROUND ∫ RS-232C This enables the unit to be controlled using a personal computer. All of the unit's functions with the exception of AUX 1 and AUX 2 can be set. ≥ Connection of conversion cable RS-232C 25-pin 1 TXD 3 RXD 4 RTS 5 CTS 6 DSR 7 SIG.G 20 DTR AG-MX70 9-pin 1 SPARE 2 RXD 3 TXD 4 DTR 5 SIG.G 6 DSR 9 SPARE [DCE CONNECTION] Use the above conversion with the 9-pin straight cable as well. Editing using the RS-422A, RS-232 and GPI interface connectors ≥ The commands are received and then executed 3 frames later. ≥ If, while the 3D optional board is installed, the 1-Frame Dly mode has been selected by the system 1 settings (see page 56) on the "Setup" initial setting screen, the pictures and sound from the source are always output with a 1-frame delay. ≥ When selecting a DVE pattern, set the transition time to more than 2 frames. No guarantees are made for frame accuracy if the time setting is lower than this. ∫ Tally This is the open connector for the tally lamp. 54321 9876 Pin No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Connector (9P) Signal Output for cross point 1 Output for cross point 2 Output for cross point 3 Output for cross point 4 Output for cross point 5 Output for cross point 6 Output for cross point 7 Output for cross point 8 or EXT GND 17
