System information

MX Ultranet
9-6 Vicon MX Hardware System Reference
•GPIO & Remote
15-pin D-type connector for general purpose input and output
with third-party external devices and also for external devices
used to remotely trigger data capture through Vicon MX or to send
synchronization signals. This enables third-party devices to
interact with Vicon MX, and Vicon MX to trigger external devices.
To use GPIO and remote control functionality you must either:
• Create your own interface to the GPIO & Remote socket and
use it to connect the MX Ultranet directly to the device or
external switch. For details, see Appendix B GPIO and Remote
Connections in MX Ultranet and MX Sync.
OR
• Connect the MX Ultranet to an MX Sync and then connect the
MX Sync to the device. For details, see Chapter 8 MX Sync.
• Master
A pair of LED status indicators:
• Upper LED: Indicates when this MX Ultranet unit is selected in
the controlling Vicon application software.
• Lower LED indicates whether this MX Ultranet is providing the
master synchronization signal to the system.
• Power Connector
Power cable inlet. Fuses are integral to the power supply unit and
are, therefore, not accessible from the exterior of the unit.
Warning
Warning: For full protection against electrical shock hazards, the unit must
be connected to a grounded electrical supply.
