Product – ADC v11 and v12
Topic: Evertz 1200 Series 12x2 Routing
Switchers
This document describes the setup and use of the Evertz 1200 series routers in the ADC-100
environment. The modified GVG TEN-XL ASCII command protocol is used to control the Evertz
1200 series routers.
There are some hardware differences between the 1200 series routers and the Grass Valley
TEN-XL routers that have required differences in implementation of the protocol for the 1200
series routers. Since the GVG TEN-XL protocol is based on 10 input crosspoints and the Evertz
12 x 2 router family contains 12 input crosspoints, the protocol was extended to include
crosspoint #11 and #12.
Additionally, the 10XL protocol was originally designed to support an RS-485 bus containing a
number of 10x1 switchers. While it is not recommended to connect devices to ADC-100 in an
RS-485 configuration (there is no support for flow control on the Device Server), this driver
supports the concept of addresses for the purpose of directing commands to one of the two
destinations.
