• If you plan on using one or more external changers or you need more than one serial port (for external control) you will need to purchase the TrippLite 4-Port USB Serial Adapter model USA-49WG to add 4 RS-232 serial ports to your Vision and an HDMI adapter for each changer. For more information on the TrippLite 4-Port USB Serial Adapter, please visit their site: USA-49WG. It is always preferable to use TCP/IP for eternal control if your control system supports it.
