    ACO GPI1 and ACO GPI2 inputs. The 5600ACO will decide if a changeover is necessary based on all the inputs on the 5600ACO, and the ACO GPI1 and ACO GPI2 inputs from all the 500ACO2-HD/SD connected on the wired ORed bus. The 5600ACO provides control of the 500ACO2-HD/SD module’s switches by means of the ACO GPO1 output.

    Special upgrade cable (Evertz part #WA S76). This cable is the same as the standard upgrade cable used with Evertz 7700 series or 500 series modules and can be found in the vinyl pouch at the front of the modular system binder. Alternately you can make your own cable with the pinout shown in Table 4-1.

  • Page 30: Terminal Program Setup

    1. Connect the Serial Upgrade cable to the 2 row x 3 pin header J34 on the main circuit board of the 5600ACO. The 2 x 3 pin header end should be keyed so that you do not insert it in the wrong direction.
