Note1: Set the TypeDeko COM port to 9600 baud, 8 bits, NO parity, I stop; Flow Control to NONE.
To connect the TypeDeko’s PC’s COM port (RS232) to a Grass Valley Editor or Switcher (RS422), you will need a B&B converter, model 422CON, with plug-in power supply.
* Chassis Ground wires should be grounded to the cable connector housing and connector screwed into frame for proper grounding.

Alternate TypeDeko cable
PC COM Port (RS-232 mode)
Some Grass Valley Switchers may be configured to use the same 9-Pin port for RS-232. If yours can be so configured, and you wish to operate this way, the cable is much simpler. Please consult your switcher manual for the correct jumper settings.
