2.1  SSRD Docking Station Connectors 

 
The SSRD is a small docking station for the SSR.  
 
When the SSR is docked to the SSRD, the HD-SDI inputs and outputs are available on BNC 
connectors on the SSRD.  The HD-SDI signal contains embedded audio from the SSR. 
 
A 9-pin D connector on the SSRD allows the SSR to be controlled in slave mode by a serial 
controller implementing the Sony P2 9 pin protocol, just like a Sony videotape recorder. This Sony 
protocol compatibility makes it easy to integrate the SSR into existing post-production facilities 
and workflows. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The SSRD is provided 12 Volt power via a 4-pin XLR or a 3-pin LEMO connector, which can also 
serve as a loop-through power output.
