All protocols are automatically available and auto sensed. Connections to devices taken offline are automatically re-established, with a new protocol if the device is changed. Unsupported features (hardware seek, auto edit, edit on/edit off, shuttle, jog, var, dmc) are emulated by the serial control layer so your software doesn't have to.

Supported Protocols:

  • Sony RS-422 Serial VTR Control
  • Sony Serial Extensions
  • Sony Digital Extensions
  • JVC Serial Extensions
  • Panasonic Serial Extensions
  • Pioneer VDR 422 Emulation
  • Pioneer Dual Head Emulation
  • Odetics Server Protocol
  • VDCP Clip Server Protocol
