Device Control

The switcher can interface with a number of peripheral devices, such as video servers, audio mixers, routers, character generators, and robotic cameras. These devices interface with the switcher using either serial or ethernet communication. Devices that use serial communication can only be connected to the control panel directly, or a serial to ethernet converter is required. Ethernet devices must be connected to the same network as the switcher.

Some devices, or classes of devices, can only be controlled from the control panel or frame. The following table is a guideline for the classes of devices supported from either the control panel or frame. For information on a particular device, refer to the Acuity Device Setup website (http://help.rossvideo.com/acuity-device/index.html).
