Interface Adapters
The RS-2/S adapter offers a reliable and cost-effective
translation between RS-232 and Sony's Control-S
serial interfaces. All PC computers support the RS-232
standard while many of Sony's VCRs and home electronic equipment
support the Control-S interfaces. The RS-2/S
adapters complete the connection, giving the PC nearly complete
control of video equipment supporting Control-S.
The Control-S protocol is the same as used by
Sony's infrared remotes and, therefore, is also unidirectional in
nature. The device under control cannot be polled for any sort of
status.
The RS-2/S adapter passes on native Control-S
commands that are sent in via the RS-232
interface. Two bytes in length, the RS-232
characters contain 12 bits of Control-S
information, 2 bits of device addressing, and 2 bits of byte ID.
The device addressing bits apply to the RS-2/S2 and -2/S3
adapters and serve to steer Control-S commands to the appropriate
cable.
Built in a compact plastic case (2.1" x 2.2" x
0.6"), these adapters require no separate power supply,
instead deriving power from the RS-232 modem
lines.
