System control connectors on Kaleido-MX (1RU) 16 × 4
• The Kaleido-MX multiviewers’ 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).
