[Rxtx] about VDCP by rxtx

[Ilkka Myller]

Hi,

VDCP is based on RS-422 interface (ANSI/TIA/EIA-422-B standard) and  
RXTX is a library for RS-232 serial interfaces.
You can use Java and RXTX to control RS-422 devices if you get RS-232<- 
 >RS-422 conversion (adapter maybe?)

RS-422 has data rate of about 10MBd/s and since most RS-422<->RS-232  
adapters get max. 115.2kBd/s, you would lose a lot of bandwidth.

You also would have do/buy Java based VDCP protocol implementation  
yourself. As you know, RXTX is a library only for interfacing RS-232  
serial ports. It does not implement any serial protocols.

Details for this proprietary protocol might be available from Harris  
Broadcast, a division of Harris Corporation.
