Controlling a Video Tape Recorder
Machine control of external devices such as VTRs/camcorders and other control
devices is done through an RS-422 remote serial interface or a USB port. Check the
speci cations for your speci c workstation for RS-422 connector requirements. In
some cases, the workstation must have an optional RS-422 PCI card installed. You
may also use the local RS-232 port on the workstation with an RS-422 adapter for
tape deck serial control applications.
Once cabling is complete, the workstation port must be con gured in the Aurora Edit
application to control the external device. Also con gure the port on the Controller
card for DCE (controller).
NOTE: The serial interface to the Aurora system is made to a connection on the
rear of the workstation. Do not use the Breakout Box (BOB) Machine Control
connection.
Connecting External Controllers to Aurora Edit
Aurora Edit supports three types of external controllers: the Motorized Fader Controller,
the Jog/Shuttle Controller, and the Effects Controller as described in the table below.
Control connections for these devices are USB or RS-422 depending on the device.
An optional PCI board with an RS-422 machine control port must be installed in the
workstation for correct RS-422 control. Check the speci cations for your workstation
type in Appendix B, Workstation Slot Map, for slot installation location of the optional
PCI RS-422 board.
