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.

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.

  6. Press NEXT.
  7. Use the Field knob to select the segment of the IP address you want to edit and the Value knob to select the number.
  8. Press NEXT.
  9. Press the Option knob and Confirm to add the device.

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. You can assign up to xx audio channels to a single video source.

  1. Press MENU > CONFIG > Input > NEXT > NEXT.
  2. Use the Input knob to select the video source that you want to assign audio channels to.
  3. Press the Audio knob.
