Four connectors are available at the rear of the unit. A locking 12 volt DC
connector supplies the power for the console. Simple connection to multiple
Video Processors is supported by connecting through a local area network
using the IP socket. A RS232 connector provides a method to download
firmware upgrades from a PC computer and allows control of a single Video
Processor using the supplied serial cable. An option socket is provided for
future expansion of controller facilities.
A single Video processor can also be controlled directly by connecting a
network crossover cable (see 9.1.2 for connection details) between the IP
sockets of the CC-300 CORIOconsole and the Video Processor.
