Rosetta Stone RS-2/4 Addenda Electronics Serial Data Converter RS-232 / RS-422

With the increase in computer use in the video industry, there is a growing need for joining together PC computers, which support a RS-232 standard, and video products such as VTRs, which generally support RS-422. To meet this need, Addenda offers two versions, each with different connectors. These adapters reliably and cost-effectively perform this vital connection, completing the link between the worlds of video and computer. Video devices which support RS-422 include video tape recorders (VTRs), video switchers, special effects devices, and still stores.

Many applications packages generate VTR-compatible serial control, including Avid's MCXpress, Diaquest DQTimeCoder, DVision's Cineworks, in:sync's Razor, Pipeline Digital's ProVTR or any of a number of tape logging programs. For linear or non-linear editing systems, the Rosetta Stone is the essential link between computer and tape machine.
