Kramer Electronics introduces the FC-5 Protocol Translator and Controller, which is designed to make an RS-232-controlled machine compatible with other RS-232-based protocols. The unit comes pre-configured with two serial translation tables: a generic serial switcher control protocol to the company’s Protocol 2000, and Sierra Video Systems’ serial protocol to Kramer’s Protocol 2000. A PC-based software program is included that will allow the building of translation tables for the FC-5. The product can be programmed to work with up to four translation tables, each with up to 256 commands. It also incorporates RS-232 COM ports and features two relay connections for centralized control of room functions. The unit also has 11 remote contact closure pins to trigger RS-232 commands and control the relays. Price: N/A.
