BGPIO and Remote Connections
in MX Ultranet and MX Sync
This appendix provides additional information on using the GPIO
(General Purpose Input Output) and remote control functionality
available in the MX Ultranet units to connect and synchronize
third-party devices with your Vicon MX system. If required, an
MX Sync can be connected to an MX Ultranet in order to provide an
external interface to its GPIO & Remote functions. For further details
on these MX units, see Chapter 8 MX Sync and
Chapter 9 MX Ultranet.
The sections in this appendix describe how to use the GPIO and
remote control functionality available from the MX Ultranet and
MX Sync:
• GPIO & Remote Connector
• GPIO Functionality on page B-4
• Remote Functionality on page B-14
GPIO & Remote Connector
The GPIO & Remote socket in the rear panel of an MX Ultranet
enables general purpose input and output with third-party external
devices and enables external devices to remotely trigger data capture
through Vicon MX or to send synchronization signals. This section
describes the circuitry involved and the electrical specifications for the
connector.
Pin Allocations
Table B-1 shows the allocations for the 15 pins in the GPIO &
Remote D-type socket in the rear panel of an MX Ultranet
(GPI=General Purpose Input, GPO=General Purpose Output,
GND=Ground). The GPIO & Remote socket in the rear panel of an
