TCP/IP Connection via a Comtrol DeviceMaster
The Digital Alert Systems Dasdec-2 connects to the MC1-MK over TCP/IP using a Comtrol
DeviceMaster.
You will need a DB-9 female to DB-9 female null modem cable. Ross Video does not supply this
cable.
1.
Connect the Digital Alert Systems Dasdec-2 to the Comtrol DeviceMaster via the RS-232 serial port
on the Dasdec-2 and an available serial port on the Comtrol DeviceMaster.
2.
Connect the MC1-MK to the same network as the Comtrol DeviceMaster.
EAS Audio Voice Over Connection
This section outlines how to connect the Digital Alert Systems Dasdec-2 to the MC1-MK for an EAS
audio voice over setup.
You will need to:
1.
Connect the
GPO
(
RELAY
) port on the Digital Alert Systems Dasdec-2 to the
GPI 1
port on the
MC1-MK rear module. Refer to the
MC1-MK Installation Guide
for GPIO pinout information.
Ross Video does not supply this cable.
2.
Ensure that the Dasdec-2
GPO
(
RELAY
) port is configured for
PTT Relay
programming.
3.
Configure the
GPO
(
RELAY
) port on the Dasdec-2 for
EAS Audio Playout
.
MC1-MK Audio Connections
When connecting the MC1-MK-MK to the Digital Alert Systems Dasdec-2, you will also need one of the
following openGear cards for audio:
• AES audio — an MUX-8258-A is required
• Analog audio — an MUX-8258-4C or MUX-8258-8C is required
Both methods are outlined in this section.
For More Information on...
• Dasdec-2 audio pinouts, refer to its user documentation.
AES Audio
The Digital Alert Systems Dasdec-2, when equipped with AES audio, provides AES outputs on a DB9
connector. A breakout cable is required to adapt these AES output for the MUX-8258-A.
Ross Video does not supply these cables.
1.
Connect the breakout cable from the
AES AUDIO
port on the Dasdec-2 to the MUX-8258-A as
shown in
Figure 2
.
2.
Ensure that Dasdec-2
Audio Output
is set to
48000
samples/second.
Analog Audio
The Dasdec-2 connects to the MUX-8258-C via two audio ports. You will need two XLR cables. Each
cable must include an XLR-3F 3-pin female connector (to connect to the Dasdec-2) on one end, and
one WECO™ 3-pin connector on the other (to connect to the MUX-8258-C rear module). Refer to the
MUX-8258 User Manual
for rear module pinout details.
Ross Video does not supply these cables.
