The information in this document applies to the 01V96 and DM1000 using the openGear® SMC-9901 Serial to MIDI Converter.

Refer to the documentation that came with the SMC-9901 Serial to MIDI Converter for setup information.

Cable Connections

The audio mixer connects to the switcher through an openGear® SMC-9901 Serial to MIDI Converter connected directly to the switcher over RS-422.

Tip:
You can use a Moxa Nport® 5150A or Comtrol® DeviceMaster® to connect to the device over ethernet.

SMC-9901 to Carbonite Cabling

A serial cable is used to connect the SMC-9901 to the switcher.

Table 1. SMC-9901 to Carbonite Pinouts
SMC-9901 (Serial Port) Carbonite (Serial Port)
2 (Tx-) 6 (Rx-)
3 (Rx+) 1 (Tx+)
7 (Tx+) 3 (Rx+)
8 (Rx-) 2 (Tx-)
5 (GND) 7 (GND)

SMC-9901 to Nport® 5150A Cabling

A serial cable is used to connect the SMC-9901 to the Nport® 5150A. A standard ethernet connection is used between the Nport® 5150A and the switcher.

Switcher Video Setup

The switcher must be set up to associate the audio channels on the mixer with video sources coming into the switcher for audio follow video (AFV) functionality.

To Assign an Audio Channel to a Video Input

Repeat this procedure to add multiple audio channels to a video source.

  1. Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > Inputs > External.


  2. Click the Audio Mixer button for the video source that you want to assign audio channels to.
  3. Click Add Channel.


  4. Select the following setting for your device:
    Setting Selection
    Slot Select the audio mixer that you want to assign an audio channel from.
    Channel Select the audio channel that you want to assign to the video source.
    Level Select the default audio level for the selected audio channel.
    Latch Select whether the switcher brings an audio channel on at the same level it was last set to for the selected video source (Yes), or it always uses the default audio level (No).
    Tip:
    Click Add Channel again to associate multiple audio channels to the video input.
