Serial control

Hi,
not totally relevant but a nice idea i think.
4-way video mixer with midi control which might work in the short term.
Set-up a cuelist on your console that would switch video inputs on the mixer.

Well, the D-TEK video switcher is DMX contolled and had 4 inputs and 4 outputs. It is really great for most small scale stuff.

You can link two together to get 6 inputs and 6 outputs, but after that linking them becomes really unweildly.

For most applications 4-6 outputs is OK, but many more inputs are needed.

There are quite a number of S-video switchers out there that can be controlled via RS-232. I've seen specs on customizable matrix-es of up to 256 inputs by 256 outputs (can you imagine:eek: )

I've never really had need of more than 16 x 16 yet, but I'm sure the day will come when I do.

Marty,

I've added this request into the database as #10491. The biggest issue I see is that Serial Ports are rapidly disappearing off PC's. So we would likely have to also implement support for some specific USB to RS232 converters.

I vote for Keyspan USB to RS232 adapter support. It's the only one I've found that works equally well with mac and PC.
