Making the Connections
MIDI Connection
The MIDI connection on the Serial•9 card is the
same as the MIDI connection on the MIDI card it is
replacing. Simply connect the supplied MIDI
breakout cable to the bottom 9-pin connector on the
Serial•9 card, and connect the 5-pin MIDI IN and
MIDI OUT connectors to your MIDI interface.
Serial 9-Pin Connection
The Serial 9-Pin connection on the Serial•9 card
is an RS-422 port that supports the Sony
®
9-Pin
device protocol. Connect the upper 9-pin connector
to any industry standard Sony 9-Pin controller or
device using a DB9 male to DB9 male serial computer
cable (available at most computer supply outlets).
Note:
Make sure your Sony 9-Pin controller or
device accepts a male DB9 connector.
The Serial•9 card is shipped configured to
operate as a device (DEV); that is, to connect to a
controller and be controlled. This is indicated by the
green LED on the Serial•9 card.
It is possible to configure the Serial•9 to be the
controller (CONT), to control another device. Simply
move the five jumpers (JP1–JP5) on the Serial•9
card as shown in the illustration below to configure
the card as a controller. This is indicated by the red
LED on the Serial •9 card.
Note:
HDR24/96 software version 1.3
supports only device (DEV) protocol for the
Serial•9. Please refer to the Software
Release Notes, which can be found on Mackie
website’s HDR24/96 software downloads
page, for complete information on the support
of Serial•9 for all software versions.
