2.2 RS232 / TTL level resistor
The level switch is made by 0Ω resistor R300, R301, R302 and R303. You will find more detail about
the mode switching at § 3.2 RS232/TTL level mode.
2.3 Switch Configuration (SW1000)
The micro switch allows to change the camera format without using the appropriate Visca command.
You will find a list of the format at § 3.3 Video format configuration with micro switch (SW1000)

3 Functions
3.1 Visca communication (J4)
In order to use the Visca you need to select the communication mode first RS232/TTL.
The factory setting is RS232 Level.
Once the correct mode is selected you can use Visca protocol to control the. Please refer to the Sony FCB-ER8300 camera datasheet to have the complete command list.
UART RX (RS232): Interface board input
UART TX (RS232): Interface Board output
To connect the board direct to the PC SUBD9 you can wire the pins as show below, using a RS232 standard PC cable:
UART RX (RS232): interface module input to PC SUBD9 (pin3)
UART TX (RS232): interface module output to PC SUBD9 (pin2)
GND: interface module to PC SUBD9 (pin5)
If you want to control the camera format by Visca command, the DIP switches must be set at external (OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF).

3.2 RS232/TTL level mode
In order to use RS232 or TTL mode you need to perform a hardware modification on the board by switching the location of the resistors. By default the board is RS232 level mode.
3.2.1 RS232 select mode (RS)
To select the RS232 mode you need to move the resistors on the RS configuration location, the best way is to desoldering the resistor from TTL configuration mode and soldering it on RS configuration mode. It is 0Ω resistor in 0402 package.
Do never select the RS232 and TTL mode at the same time,
This may seriously damage your system.

3.2.2 TTL select mode (TTL)
To select the TTL mode you need to move the resistors on the TTL configuration location, the best way is to desoldering the resistor from RS configuration mode and soldering it on TTL configuration mode. It is 0Ω resistor in 0402 package.
Do never select the RS232 and TTL mode at the same time,
This may seriously damage your system.

3.3 Video format configuration with micro switch (SW1000)
In the "External" mode, the interface module does not change the format of the video camera. If you want to control the camera format by Visca command, the micro switch must be set at external (OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF). In other modes, the board checks the camera video format. If it doesn’t correspond to the switches, the board sends a Visca command to change the format.

3.4 LEDs and Test points signalization
There are three LEDs on the FPGA and one LED on the MCU to indicate the status of the board.
• FPGA LED 1: VCXO clock divide by 224
• FPGA LED 2: VSync camera
• FPGA LED 3: On: 2160p formats, Off: others formats
• MCU LED: o 1 blink: MCU pins initialization o 2 blinks: FPGA programming done o 3 blinks: I2C initialization o 4 blinks: Camera ready o 5 blinks: Format configured o 6 blinks: Normal operation, status ok o 7 blinks: Format changed (micro switch)
There are six test points for the voltage measurement (indicate by its voltage 12V, 3V3, GND, etc.). There are three test points for each FPGA LED with the same signal as the LED. There are two test point on the MCU T200 and T201. Not used.
