5.1 Remote Control
5.1.1 Introduction
The TT1222 can be remotely controlled in a variety of ways. The basic
control methods are:
•
RS-232 control methods:
TANDBERG Device Controller (TDC)
Third-party application (using TANDBERG RS-232 control protocol)
The TT1222 needs to be set up to accept the remote control handling.
Once in remote control mode, it cannot be locally controlled unless the
remote control is deactivated.
NOTE…
The TT1222 remote control methods (listed above) are designed to be backwards compatible with the
TANDBERG TT1220 receiver. This means the TT1222 can be used as a replacement product in
existing TT1220 systems where remote control is used.
5.1.2 Remote Protocol Control Documentation
The protocol used for remote control is the TANDBERG RS-232 control.
This protccol is not described, or intended to be in the scope of this
Reference Guide.
For information about this protocol, refer to the remote control
documentation or contact TANDBERG to obtain this information.
NOTE…
The remote control protocols are not contained as a part of the product. An additional license fee, NDA
or other agreement with TANDBERG may be necessary to obtain the information required to control
the product remotely.
5.1.3 Configuring the Unit for Remote Control Via RS-232
For the unit to be controlled via RS-232, the RS-232 port has to be
configured to the same settings as the host controller system. The control
mode of the TT1222 also needs to be set to remote.
