    RS232 cable into the COM 2 port of the Sage decoder. If this port is already in use, you may use the COM 6 port. The Sage port must be configured to output the type of data that the 9625LG Series Keyer unit is expecting. To do this, follow these steps on the Sage unit.

  • Page 103: Tft Decoder Configuration

    The TFT unit has a number of communications ports on the rear of the unit marked as COM 1 to COM 3 and J103 and J104. The baud rate is fixed at 9600 within the 9625LG Series Keyer and it is configured to communicate using the Alternate TFT I/F for Trilithic EAS Sytems ALT1 option.

  • Page 104: Connecting The Gpi Tally Control

    The EAS decoders give out a tally control to indicate when an EAS alert message is being broadcast. This tally output must be connected to one of the GPI inputs on the 9625LG Series Keyer to signal it to ‘duck insert’ the emergency audio into the program audio. For the sake of simplicity in this description connect the tally output from the decoder to the GPI A input on the 9625LG Series Keyer.
