BrightEye NXT 450 Clean Streaming Router
Installation, Configuration and Operations Guide
Chapter 6: External Control
The BrightEye NXT 450’s Approach to Control Integration
The BrightEye NXT 450 provides control from external systems like automation and event controllers.
As there is a significant legacy of protocols and usage models in current practice, the BrightEye
NXT 450 supports a variety of external control protocols, offering a range of commands and control
capabilities in order to make control integration as easy as possible. These protocols can be used with
the Ethernet interface. This approach generally allows the Clean Streaming Router to be used without
adaption in current systems.
RS-232 Interface Option
If requested at the time of ordering, the Clean Streaming Router can include an adaptor cable that
provides a 9-pin female D connector for the RS-232 interface.

Router and Action Control Panel (5835) GPI Inputs
The Router and Action Control Panel provides 8 GPI contact closure inputs. These can be configured
on a specific Router and Action Control Panel to integrate it with other equipment. When used in
a camera shading installation as the reference monitor input selector, GPI connections from the
joystick button on the camera control head can make camera selections. In a master control bypass
application, a GPI “panic button” can be used to force the system into bypass.
