Calrec ALPHA - Serial Interface

108 ALPHA with Bluefin
The Serial Port Settings screen is used to
tell the system what information it should
receive from each serial interface port,
by allocating a function to each from the
Serial Function column.
Only the serial functions which are
enabled for the console will be available
for selection.
The Hub ID number is also selectable
from a drop down list. The ability to
change the Hub ID number is useful
for the situation where two routers are
connected to the console, sending the
same information. If one router or serial
port fails the serial function can be moved
from one hub to another.
The system currently supports the
following serial interfaces:
Cue Director
•
Nexus Router•
TSI Image Video 1000•
Ross Synergy•
Serial port setup and label associations
are made using the Options-Serial I/F
screens.

The console can have up to 8 hub cards,
each of which can have a serial interface
port for allowing equipment to be
connected to the system.
SERIAL INTERfACE
The function can be given a name by
typing up to six characters in the USER
REF column.
For each function there is an indicator
which flashes when a valid message is
received from the user serial port.
