RS-422 is supported in slave and master mode.
• When in master mode, the Cinedeck can take full control of other devices using Sony BVW/SRW commands
such as tape machines and the user interface provides a full set of status indicators.
• In Slave mode, the Cinedeck accepts standard commands and specifically the Cinedeck responds as a Sony
SRW 5500 or BVW 75. See the next pages for COM port setup and “384- remote control” on page 183.

Cinedeck MCC (multi channel controller) is a Windows based application which can be connected to up to
24 channels of Cinedeck. From the remote interface you can setup all aspects of a channel including project
settings, push settings to multiple channels, control any selected channels for recording and playback including
loading clips into selected channels for playback.
Remote control
Cinedecks can be remote controlled using a broad variety of systems; RS-422, Cinedeck MCC, AMP commands
over IP, KVM, VNC and via USB devices. Please note however that Windows “Remote Desktop Connection”
should not be used with the Cinedeck, it causes inconsistent operation and errors.
Cinedeck MCC utilizes the AMP protocol from Grass Valley which is a well documented enhancement of the
Odetics command set. The AMP API can be used for complete management and control of multiple Cinedecks
from other systems such as those for media asset management. (See “8.5 AMP protocol” on page 242)
For additional information about using AMP or Cinedeck MCC, contact Cinedeck support.
See “Contacting Cinedeck” on page 2
For use with KVM systems, Cinedeck recorders have USB and every deck has at least two types of monitor
ports (VGA, DVI, HDMI, Display port) (See the specifics for each deck in “3.0 Installation” on page 37)
USB control panels such as X-Keys can be used and on a more basic level, a USB mouse an keyboard can be
connected.

VNC applications such as Teamviewer and Real VNC offer an excellent way to gain full access to the complete
