This module provides for control of Video Tape Recorders and Digital Video Recorders supporting Sony’s P2 Protocol (also sometimes known as the “9-Pin”, “BVW”, “RS-422”, or simply “Sony” protocol).
This module provides for control of:
- Standard transports (Play, Pause, Record, etc.) with real feedback

As well as
- Time Code decoding (for Vertical Interval (VITC), Linear (LTC), and Internal Time Code)
- The ability to store and recall up to 10 preset positions on tape based on the time code.

Note: Every manufacturer (and sometimes every model or product line) implements the P2 Protocol differently, therefore, we are unable to guarantee that every feature will work (or even work the same way) with every potential video tape recorder or digital video recorder that the module used with.
Also Note: The Sony P2 Protocol requires a RS-422 connection to the Crestron processor; therefore, it is not possible to use a RS-232-only port or to use a Infared/1-way serial port to control a VTR with this module.
