Please note, that Christie Digital Systems Germany has discontinued the Serial Link. Please refer to JLCooper Electronics and their product eBOX.

The optional external SERIAL Link interface provides 4x serial RS 232/422 ports via ethernet.
A SERIAL Link port can be used to control the playback control of the timeline via RS232 or RS422. Each port can be connected to a separate sequence to allow multiple input devices to control individual sequences.

Please see the chapter TCP/IP for information how to connect a Sequence in Pandoras Box to an external device. Once the serial connection is set up, the following commands are valid:

(Play)
Sets the sequence state to play

(Pause)
Sets the sequence state to pause

(Stop)
Stops and rewinds the sequence

(CueID)
ID = enter number based on cue ID to jump to that cue directly

Example:
(Cue13), sets the timeline now-pointer to the time of cue 13

See further instructions in the Serial Link Device Manual.
