This section describes the characteristics and operation of all connectors on the XD233 and XD1033.

...

Note

Note

XDx33 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.

Note

Note

The 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.

1 out driving 1 in

V=3.3*100/(100+1,000)=0.3

1 out driving 2 in

V=3.3*100/(100+500)=0.55

1 out driving 3 in

V=3.3*100/(100+333.3)=0.76

1 out driving 4 in

V=3.3*100/(100+250)=.94 (This is too high, so 1 output driving 3 inputs is the maximum)

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.

3.5mm Audio Connector

The XD233 and XD1033 have a combination analog/optical audio jack. To transmit a digital audio signal, use a TOSLINK optical audio cable with a 3.5mm connector. Analog and digital audio cannot be transmitted simultaneously.

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:
