SHASTA HD 88 HD/SDI 3G ROUTING SWITCHER
13
Remote Control Panels
Sierra Video offers an extensive line of RS-485 XY, single-bus, and programmable remote control
panels.
Shasta HD Family video routing switcher frames have two male 3-pin connectors labeled “Control
Panels” on the rear.
The two connectors on the back of the router and the back of the remote control panels are
connected in parallel. This allows the panels to be looped (“daisy chained”) together. If it is more
convenient, you can build a fan-out panel or box so that only one cable needs to run to each
panel.
The mating connectors used are Switchcraft TA3F.
The maximum system cable length is 2,000 feet (310m) when the RS-485 network operates at
the higher speed of 31.25K baud. The maximum system cable length is 5,000 feet (1,524m) when
operated at 9600 baud. Consult your Control Panel Manual for more detailed information.
If you make your own interconnect cables, Pin 2 is Ground. Pin 1 and 3 connect pin for pin.
