Snell Wilcox IQUDC1201-2B3

The aim of this connector is to monitor and control amongst others the Video and Audio Inputs and Outputs, Audio Routing, Mixers, and Dolby Decoder/Encoder of the IQUDC1201-2B3 device.

About

This connector implements the RollCall protocol (serial protocol) for all communication with the device.

It is a smart-serial single connector, so all the updates are sent by the device asynchronously, which reduces the network load and improves performance.

The version 1.0.0.1 was built for the firmware 0713007125.

Configuration

Connections

Serial Connection - Main

This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SERIAL CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 172.16.61.26.
  • IP port: The IP port of the device, e.g., 2050.
  • Bus address: Used to fill in the Unit Address and the Unit Port, e.g., 25.01 is for Unit Address 0x25 and Unit Port 0x01.
