How to Use the External Control
About the External Control
The Multi-Format Monitor has two external control terminals.
One is the MAKE/TRIGGER terminal, which allows the monitor to be controlled by the MAKE (make contact) or TRIG. (trigger)
method selected in the function setting.
MAKE (make contact system): Controls the function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the GND pin terminal, or
disconnecting (opening) it.
TRIG. (trigger system):Controls the function by inputting the pulse signal instantaneously to the corresponding pin terminal.
* MAKE or TRIG. are selected from OREMOTE SYSTEM� in SET-UP MENU.
The other terminal used for remote control is the RS-485 terminal, and this allows the monitor to be controlled by serial
communication.
NOTE:
Control priority is in the following order; 1 MAKE/TRIGGER terminal > 2 RS-485 terminal > 3 Front panel buttons or menu functions of the monitor.
Y When using the make contact system, you cannot use the functions which are applied to the MAKE/TRIGGER terminal operating the front panel
buttons or the menu of the monitor. (When using the trigger system you can also use those functions operating the monitor directly.)
Y When controlling the monitor using RS-485 terminal, you cannot use the functions operating the front panel buttons or the menu of the monitor
except turning on or off the monitor.

*1 : The TRIG. (trigger) system switches each function by short-circuiting for approx. 1 second.
*2 : When selecting the TRIG. (trigger) system, these functions cannot be controlled if no signal is input.

*5 : Tally lamp Control and External control (the 7th pin terminal) can be controlled by the MAKE (make contact) system even when you select the
OTRIG.� (trigger) system.
*6 : This function works only when using the Multi-Format SDI Unit (option).
Operation
1. Short-circuit the 7th pin terminal (External control) to the 8th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be controlled by the
external control.
2. When selecting the OMAKE� (make contact) system, operate each function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin
terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) or opening it.
When selecting the OTRIG.� (trigger) system, operate each function by Pulse control, that is short-circuiting the
corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second.
NOTES:
Y When controlling INP. A/B/C/D, only one terminal must be short-circuited. (Other terminals must be opened.)
Y When selecting the OTRIG.� (trigger) system, you can operate only one function at a time. Operate the functions one by one.
