Rs-422A Control - Sony BKS-R3219A Installation And Setup Manual

1-5-3. RS-422A Control

SONY Routing switcher system can be controlled from an external control equipment that is connected to
the REMOTE2 (D-sub 9-pin) connector with the RS-422A interface. In addition, the protocol (CART++)
can be added so that up to 4093 inputs x 4093 outputs x 8 levels can be controlled.
When the extended protocol is the CART++ that has the control size of 256 or less, it is compatible with
the existing protocol (CART, CART+).
Two operation modes are available: S-BUS conversion mode, which converts the commands received via
RS-422 into the S-BUS protocol, and the direct mode, which controls the commands received via RS-
422A inside the reception station. When the routing switcher is set as a primary station, the mode is fixed
to the S-BUS conversion mode. When the routing switcher is set as a secondary station, the mode is fixed
to the direct mode.
The remote control panel is fixed to the S-BUS conversion mode.
