RS-422 Connection Diagram
RS-422 Connection Diagram
Each output card supports one RS-422 port over an RJ-45 connector. This port allows the
Kaleido-X to connect to external serial devices such as a router, production switcher, or
router controller.
The pinout for the RS-422 signals on the RJ-45 connectors, and the wiring diagrams for the
appropriate adapters, are shown here:
Standard wiring between multiviewer and devices wired to SMPTE “slave” specification (e.g. most
routers, Ross Synergy switchers, Nevion ETH-CON)
Standard wiring between multiviewer and devices wired to SMPTE “master” specification (e.g. Philips
Jupiter router control system, Grass Valley Presmaster PCS)
SAM (Snell/Pro-Bel) SW-P-08 Yes (14000) Yes
SW-P-02 Yes (2000) Yes
Company Protocol TCP/IP (port) Serial
Note:
The RS-422 ports each 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).
Note:
The two RS-422 ports on the multiviewer side have no ground pin.
Using the appropriate DE-9S-to-RJ-45 adapter, an external device should be
able to communicate with a multiviewer despite the lack of a ground.
