Configuring the Serial Ports
Context of Use
This step is used to define the type of device connected to the workstation serial ports.
Two kinds of RS422 connections exist:
•
AVH-RS422: using an internally mounted EVS USB to RS422 module.
•
COM: using a RS422/RS232 port on the station motherboard.
4 AVH-RS422 connections and 6 COM connections are possible. However, only 4
connections may be managed from one IPAirEdit workstation at any time.
Different types of devices can be connected to a serial port.
•
MPlay (Remote P): Not used with IPAirEdit.
•
BEPlay (Remote B): This remote controller is used for browsing, editing and playing
content.
•
VTR: controlled by the VTR Engine service.
•
EVS Server (server connection) (Routing).
All parameters are local to the IPDirector workstation and must be set independently on all
IPDirector workstations.
