2.15.1. Hardware Installation
Consult the 5550 manual for information on installing the KeyKode reader head on your telecine. In order
to connect your 9025TR to your 5550, use the cable provided (Evertz part # WA-J18). If you need a
longer cable you can make a cable as shown in Figure 2-22. Use this cable to connect the 5550 Aux I/O
port to the KEYKODE READER connector on the rear of the 9025TR. The SERIAL I/O port on the 5550
is typically used to connect to the TLC edit controller.
The Evertz 5500 and 5550 Decoders allow the automatic adjustment of Led intensity when connected to
the telecine biphase. For simplicity of wiring this connection should be made when wiring the telecine to
9025TR cable. See the sections on specific telecines for the correct connector pinouts.
By default the 9025TR KEYKODE READER port operates at 38400 baud, while the TLC edit controller
port operates at 9600 baud. You will need to set the baud rate of the AUX I/O port in the 5550 to 38400.
This feature is only supported in 5550 software versions later than 990813. If your 5550 unit has an
earlier software version installed, you can update it to the current version that you will find in the Firmware
directory on the Tracker CD-ROM.
directory on the CD or consult your 5550 manual for information on updating the software.

In order to connect your 9025TR to an Evertz 5500 KeyKode reader, make a cable as shown in
Figure 2-23. Use this cable to connect the 5500 Serial I/O port to the KEYKODE READER connector on
the rear of the 9025TR. You can use the same cable to connect the DigiSync reader to the 9025TR. The
serial ports on these readers operate at 9600 baud. In order to reduce the 9025TR's KeyKode Reader
