Overview
Remote control of the LD100 / LD100U Line
Doubler is provided by an RS-232 serial interface
connector located on the rear panel of the unit. A
external controller such as a computer or integrated
system controller with an RS-232 interface may be
used to control all user accessible functions of the
Line Doubler.
RS-232 controllable functions include: Video, Y/C
(S-VHS), RGB, Component (YUV), Brightness,
Contrast, Color, Tint, Noise Reduction, Detail Level,
Auto-Tint, Digital Filter On/Off, Freeze On/Off, Echo
On/Off, Help, Status and Return to Factory Preset.
Communication Settings
Communication with the LD100 Line Doubler is
accomplished by setting the following conditions:
9600, No Parity, 8 Data Bits and 1 Stop Bit. The fac-
tory BUAD rate is set at 9600, but rates of 1200,
2400 and 4800 are also available.
Baud Rate Selection
To change the RS-232 BAUD rate, remove the top
cover of the LD100 Line Doubler. A 4 switch Dip
switch is located on the front panel. Set the switch-
es from the table shown below. If the BAUD rate is
changed, the LD100
MUST
be powered off and
then on for the new BAUD rate to take effect.
