F.) Serial Port Deck Control:
Serial Port Deck Control:
The HP Z800 workstation does have an embedded serial port. The embedded serial-port has been qualified by Avid
and will maintain frame accuracy in Avid environments. Primary or secondary / additional serial port deck control can
be established via two methods (both of which have been qualified by Avid and will maintain frame accuracy in Avid
environments)
1. Addenda model
RS-USB / 4 direct USB-to-RS422 serial adapter. This is a simple device which connects directly from a
USB port of the Z800 directly to the RS422 port of a deck.

2. Combination of a Keyspan (Tripp-Lite) Model USA-19HS USB-to-serial-port adapter with Addenda Rosetta
Stone model RS – 2/8 RS232-to-RS422 converter
- Keyspan (Tripp-Lite) Model USA-19HS (AVID P/N 7080-20013-01)
http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=518&EID=13384&txtModelID=3914
- Addenda Rosetta Stone (or equivalent) model RS – 2/8 RS232-to-RS422 converter (AVID P/N
7070-00507-01)

To connect the Keyspan 19HS / Addenda RS -2/8 combination:
- Install the Keyspan 19HS driver before plugging the device into a Z800 USB port.
- Once the Keyspan 19HS driver is installed then plug the Keyspan 19HS into a Z800 USB port.
- The Keyspan 19HS will now show up in device driver.
- Using a serial cable, connect the 9-pin serial port of the Keyspan 19HS USB adapter to the port of the
Addenda marked RS232 from PC
- Using a 2
nd
serial port cable connect the port of the Addenda marked “RS422 to VTR” to the deck control
serial port of the deck.
