Note:
The Kaleido-X's RS-422 ports have an RJ-45 connector in order to
preserve space on a busy panel. The RS-422 interface specifies a DE-9
connector, so if you are using this interface, you will require a DE-9-to-RJ-45
adapter. Grass Valley supplies two adapter models, correctly wired for this
application: a straight adapter (part no. 1737-3000-102), and a crossover
adapter (part no. 1792-3700-100). See
page 214 for the RS-422 pinout specification.
