4.6. RS-232 Interface
Serial data transmission works between an Encoder and all the connected Decoders which have the same
connect serial devices please use the cables supplied with the extenders.
ATTENTION! The serial data is transmitted only if video is transmitted between the affected devices.
Pass-through Mode
DEFINITION: The Pass-through mode means fully transparent bidirectional data transmission from an RS-

All data received from the serial ports of the Decoders is transmitted to the serial port of the Encoder and
vice versa: the data received from the serial port of the Encoder is transmitted to the serial ports of all
connected Decoders.
