HD Player

Chapter 14: Application Notes

Rev. 6.4

A simple way to set up a system using this method is to “common” the RS232 receive lines on all the HD Players
to the transmit signal of the RS232 port on the show control system.

After the Play command is received the Players will wait for the timecode trigger to commence playback in sync.
