Connecting to the High Speed Dome
The Orbiter, RapidDome, or HD6 domes connect to the system via an HVBPIT44 Protocol
Interface Translator (PIT). This device converts the native protocol of VideoBloX to the
protocol of the connected dome.
Cable Connection
1. Using the 9-pin Male to 9-Pin Male (pin to pin) connect the Slave Channel of the PIT to
the RS422 Master port on the VideoBloX CPU module. This is the fourth connector
from the left port when viewing the chassis from behind.
2. Using the RS422 cable with 9-Pin male connector on one end and fly leads" on Pins 1
and 2, connect Pin #1 (TXD -) to the Data (-) on the Dome. Connect Pin #2 (TXD +) to
the Data (+) on the Dome.
