CL-1 Keyboard and Remote Control Interface
The CL-1 Keyboard and Remote Control Interface is an available hardware accessory to interface
with PS/2 compliant computer keyboards and enable external devices to control the 788T. When us-
ing the CL-1, front panel controls and menu selections on the 788T can be mapped to keyboard short-
cuts, allowing for full keyboard control of the recorder. Additionally the CL-1 has contact closures for
programming remote inputs or outputs. These are commonly used for machine control and “remote
rolling” using a mixing console with transport controls.
The 788T C. Link In port is disabled when the Setup Menu Connection Mode is set to Connect to Wave
Agent. The Sound Devices CL-1 is not functional in this mode.
Connecting the CL-1
1. Connect the included C. Link cable to the 788T’s C. Link Input connector.
2. Connect the opposite end of the C. Link cable to the CL-1’s C. Link connector.
3. Connect a PS/2 keyboard to the PS/2 connector on the CL-1.
4. Connect switches between assigned pins 1-6, pin-7 (ground), and pin-8 (+5V) on the CL-1.
( See CL-1 Logic Inputs and Outputs )
The C. Link port on the 788T provides power for CL-1 operation.
CL-1 Keyboard Interface
The CL-1 allows a user to use a PS/2 compliant keyboard to control the 788T. All functionality and
setup of the Keyboard Assignments are identical to that of the USB Keyboard.
See Keyboard Assign-
ments for more details.
Sound Devices recommends using either a PS/2 keyboard via the CL-1 or a USB Keyboard directly into
the 788T Keyboard Input, but avoid using both keyboards simultaneously.
