panel). Normally, the cables should be prepared RJ45 “Telephone style”, where the connectors are crimped on the
same surface of the cable resulting in a reversal of the conductor order. CAT-5 “Data style” cables may be used by
connecting the Slide to the PANEL connector, and the panel to the SLIDE connector. Improper connection will
prevent operation but will not cause damage.
Make RS-422 connections from one or more of the VTR-1 through VTR-10 connectors to VR300 REM1 and REM2
remote control connectors. Pin-for-pin male-male DB9 cables should be used (see note). Normally, VR300 #1
REM2 should be connected to VTR-1, REM1 should be connected to VTR-6, VR300 #2 REM2 to VTR-2, REM1 to
VTR-7, etc.
NOTE: The REM1 connector on the VR300 is normally configured to control a VTR rather than be controlled and
must be reconfigured (a) by changing jumper links inside the unit (this is a difficult task due to mechanical issues),
or (b) by crossing pins 2/8 and 3/7 in the cabling. Only conductors 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are used.
The DB15F GPI connector connects to production switcher (vision mixer) tally outputs. These tallies allow
playback to be rolled by the Technical Director simply by punching up a playback view. Pins 1-10 control channels
1-10 (channels connected to VTR-1 through VTR-10 connectors), and pin 15 is common Ground. The GPI input
pins are active low with a threshold of approxi2.5 volts, are pulled up to +5 volts through 10K resistors, and
can withstand continuous externally applied voltages ranging from -25 to +35 volts.
Various settings must be made in the VR300 Registry for the SUPERSLIDE system to operate properly. Contact
Leitch/ASC for assistance in preparing your VR300 system.
