RS422 Connector Pinout

The RS422 connectors are used to connect a remote control (from EVS or third party) to
your server.
The cable wiring is a straightforward pin-to-pin connection as illustrated in the following
diagram. You should use a shielded cable to avoid electromagnetic interference on long
distances.
The technical specification for the RS422 link is as follows:

Redundant IPDP Serial Link

The IPDirector communicates with the server via one serial link. If that link fails, the XS
server can no longer be controlled by any IPDirector.
A failover mechanism has been put into place: it switches the IPDirector link from one port
of an XS server server to another port on another XS server.
5. Hardware Installation and Cabling
Warning
The RESET command line from the remote control is sent through the pin 5 of
the RS422 connector. This function should be disabled when the controller on
connector #1 is not an EVS controller.
