Overview

The BKDS-2530 is an RS-422A serial interface board
for connecting the DVS-2000C Digital Video Switcher
and the DME-3000/7000 Digital Multi Effects to a
personal computer. By installing the BKDS-2530 and
its operation software BZS-2050 on a personal
computer, the DVS-2000C and DME-3000/7000 may
be operated using a graphical interface on the
computer.
The BKDS-2530 has the following features:
Separate CPU and external equipment
connection unit
The BKDS-2530 consists of a CPU board (CPU-252),
and a PC Interface Unit which houses the control
connectors.
The CPU-252 connects to the ISA (Industry Standard
Architecture) bus in an IBM PC/AT
computer. The computer's microprocessor and the
local processor on the CPU-252 interface through a
dual-port RAM.
The PC Interface Unit connects to the CPU-252 with a
supplied 50-pin remote control cable, and is physically
located external to the computer.

Support for switcher/DME timeline
operation
The PC Interface Unit can use four TTL outputs (two
of which are currently unused) and four relay contact
outputs as a GPI I/O interface. Two inputs are used
for control of timeline RUN and REWIND. Four
outputs are programmable, for use in timeline event
management. Further, the PC Interface Unit has two
RS-422A connectors, allowing simultaneous control of
both a switcher and a DME.
The CPU-252 can take a reference input, which is
useful when it is necessary to synchronize timing
within the system or when field-by-field precision is
required.
