1-2. System Control
* 1 : There are two kinds of cart protocol due to the control area.
Unless otherwise noted, “cart protocol” in this manual mean the cart plus protocol.
1-2-3. 9-pin remote control
The Sony digital routing switcher can be controlled from external control units connected to the RE-
MOTE 2 (D-sub 9-pin) using RS-422A. For DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232, the
functions performed by 9-pin remote control, can especially be upgraded to a great extent. The following
three kinds of 9-pin remote protocols can be used.
. Sony production switcher protocol
. Sony audio mixer protocol
. Sony cart protocol

The protocol that can be used depends on the models (refer to Section 1-2-1).
BKPF-R70 is controlled by Sony cart protocol only.
The DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232 can be switched between the “direct mode” in
which they are controlled directly and to the “S-BUS conversion mode” in which cart protocol commands
are converted to the S-BUS protocols.
In the direct mode, the switchers can be controlled individually. In the S-BUS conversion mode, up to
254 switchers on the S-BUS line (including the primary station) can be controlled.
For DVS-V3232B/V6464B/V1616/A3232 and HDS-V3232, the S-BUS and 9-pin remote control lines
are connected to REMOTE 1 and 2 respectively and can be switched freely. Other switchers can be
connected to either control line.

1.
In the direct mode, the protect and secret functions set on the S-BUS protocol are not avail able.
2. In the S-BUS conversion mode, the “UA2” data specified by the cart protocol will be converted to
the level values on S-BUS protocol.
In this mode, the protect and secret functions set on S-BUS protocol are available. (However, these
functions cannot be set on the 9-pin remote control and the contents of the setting cannot be checked,
either.)
3. The number of input/output signals that can be controlled on each protocol is as follows.
Protocol Control Area
Cart Protocol * 1 Cart 1-16
Cart plus 1-256
Audio mixer protocol 1-128
Production Switcher Protocol 1-127
4. When several DVS-V6464Bs are connected in a cascade and the input bus number is in creased, if
controlled by the 9-pin remote, there is the case no signal is output.
To avoid such case, use the S-BUS conversion mode.
