MX Sync
8-2 Vicon MX Hardware System Reference
MX Sync Rear Panel
The rear panel of the MX Sync contains the following connection
points (from left to right of the unit):
• Remote Start
Standard RCA socket for an external device used to activate the
remote start functionality available through the 7-pin Lemo
Remote socket on the rear of the MX Control or the 15-pin D-type
GPIO & Remote connector on the rear of the MX Ultranet.
• Remote Stop
Standard RCA socket for an external device used to activate the
remote stop functionality available through the 7-pin Lemo
Remote socket on the rear of the MX Control or the 15-pin D-type
GPIO & Remote connector on the rear of the MX Ultranet.
•GP IN
One set of four standard RCA phono sockets for connecting
external devices to the corresponding general purpose inputs
available through the 8-pin Lemo GPIO socket on the rear of the
MX Control or the 15-pin D-type GPIO & Remote connector on
the rear of the MX Ultranet.
•GP OUT
Four sets of four standard RCA phono sockets for connecting
external devices to the corresponding general purpose outputs
available through the 8-pin Lemo GPIO socket on the rear of the
MX Control or the 15-pin D-type GPIO & Remote connector on
the rear of the MX Ultranet. Identical signals are passed out
through all four connectors in each numbered set.
Important
The actual number of devices that can be driven from Vicon MX through the
GPO OUT connection depends on the characteristics of the devices to be
attached. For example, if the MX Sync must provide the current to drive a GPI
Opto coupler in a connected device, then only two such devices can be driven.
• MX Control GPIO & Remote
15-pin D-type connector for connecting the MX Sync to either:
•the 8-way Lemo GPIO socket and the 7-way Lemo Remote
socket on the rear of the MX Control.
OR
• the 15-pin D-type GPIO & Remote connector on the rear of
the MX Ultranet.
