For serial control, it is really easy, You get to define the output string sent on the serial connector for each light command...set it to match what your dimmer is looking for (if your dimmer can be controlled serially). Lastly (and the most popular ways) are to use an automation interface that will connect to the Dolby serial port and provide relay closures (or Ethernet commands) or serial commands to the various devices. Companies like MiT, Strong/EPRAD, JNIOR and Film-Tech have suitable automations.  |  IP: Logged Sanish Prabhakaran Film Handler Posts: 8 From: matar qadeem doha ,qatar Registered: Feb 2011 posted 03-03-2011 07:09 AM                        dear steave,thank you for your valuable information,i already gave the connetion to dimmer.i gave direct connetion to dimmer for gpio connector.its working fine with paradimm dimmer anytronics dimmer.in this dimmer input signal voltage is less than 10 volt.so its working porperly.i didnt buy any iterface card for .gpio is a continue cloasure relay.  |  IP: Logged
