RS-422 Programmable Data Patchbays - RS-422 Programmable Data Patchbays

Introduction

The RS-422 Programmable Data Patchbay is as easy as it is adaptable. To program the Normals for individual circuits, users just need to insert or remove the programming shunts located underneath the patchbay dust cover. When the shunts are inserted, the circuit will be full-normal; when the shunts are removed, the circuit will be non-normal.

This flexibility means the RS-422 Programmable Data Patchbay can serve as the foundation for virtually any new, reconfigured or legacy installation. It also means that regardless of any design changes that arise during installation, it can always be re-programmed as needed right on the spot.

The end result is that the RS-422 Programmable Data Patchbay allows integrators and installers to quickly re-configure patching systems, accommodate customer change-orders, and speed service-calls. It also allows system designers to more confidently assemble equipment lists and more accurately develop quotes earlier in the proposal process.

Equally important, the RS-422 Programmable Data Patchbay features six-wire circuits, accommodating RS422 signals – and providing two extra circuits for additional applications and protocols. The patchbay handles bi-directional signals such as RS-422, RS-232 and other general purpose interface applications.

The RS-422 Programmable Data Patchbay features a D9 female rear interface and is SMPTE 207 compliant. The 2 rack-unit patchbay is ruggedly built yet finely finished, and is housed in a 12” chassis with a powder-coat finish and extra-wide designation strips.

Application

The RS-422 Programmable Data Patchbay is ideal for edit bays and machine rooms in post-production, broadcast and duplication, and can also accommodate remote-delegation protocols such as Sony and Lynx.

All Bittree data patching systems are held to strict electrical and mechanical specifications to guarantee exceptional performance in traditional serial data applications. Ideal for edit system to VTR patching; remote control delegation (e.g., Sony and Lynx systems); computer data interconnection, control panel re-routing; and central distribution of 422 signals.
