NoteXDx33 units that are rev H or later support full RS-232 signaling. The serial transmit pin on earlier versions of the XDx33 does not comply with voltage levels for RS-232 signaling (which requires a voltage below -3V for logical 1). In practice, the serial port can interoperate successfully with the majority of RS-232 receivers, but some devices (including some projectors and Crestron equipment) require strict conformance to RS-232 levels and will not accept 0V as logical 1. In these instances, you can connect the BrightSign player to the serial device using a USB-to-serial cable. |

If you are using the GPIO connector to drive LEDs, connect the LED outputs to the LED ANODE and connect the LED CATHODE to the ground. If you want to connect another device, then the output is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 3.3V at 24mA, but there is a series resistor of 100Ω in each line.
The GPIO also allows for connecting of external contact closures to the ground. In order to connect a switch, connect one side of the switch to the switch input, and connect the other side to one of the ground pins on the GPIO connector. The connector can also supply 3.3V at up to 500mA to an external device. The 3.3V output is polyfuse-protected and can source up to 500mA.

NoteThe GPIO outputs have 100Ω series resistors; the GPIO inputs have 1K pullup resistors to 3.3V; and the input threshold is 2V high and .8V low. The high voltage is not problematic, but the low voltage can be if there are too many inputs connected to one output. |

RJ45 LAN
The XD233 and XD1033 have an RJ45 connector for 1000BASE-T networking. The maximum length for Cat 5E cable is 100 meters; the allowed length can be higher or lower depending on the quality of the cable.

The full-scale voltage output of the analog audio is 2V RMS. The minimum load impedance is 32Ω.
The analog audio connector has the following pinout:
