Addenda RS4-U UVW1200-1400 serial adapter

Model RS-4/U Interface Adapters

The RS-4/U adapters offer a reliable and cost-effective translation between RS-422 and Sony's UVW1200 and UVW1400 Betacam tape decks. The RS-4/U provides transport control to the UVW tape machine and returns timecode back to the RS-422 controller, usually a dedicated edit controller. If needed, one of Addenda's RS232/422 adapters can convert to levels commonly found on PC COM ports.

The RS-4/U adapter interprets standard "Sony Serial" commands from the PC's applications software and translates them into the UVW protocol. Such applications software might include Avid's MCXpress, Diaquest DQTimeCoder, Discreet/DVision's Online, Dubner's Scene Stealer, Pipeline Digital's ProVTR & MediaDeck, Media 100 or any of a number of tape logging programs.

Built in a standard 25-to-25-pin gender changer shell, these adapters require no separate power supply (no "wall warts" to contend with!).

Some adapter configurations are combinations of two separate adapters (RS-2/4 + RS-4/U = RS-2/U).
