It splits the single USB-C port on an LS4 player into a USB-A port for peripherals and a 3.5mm serial connection for data I\/O. This BrightSign USB-C serial adapter is the part to specify when an LS424 needs to talk to a display, a controller or a USB device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe LS423 and LS424 have one USB 2.0 Type-C port, and BrightSign routes both USB host and serial signals through it. BrightSign's LS424 hardware documentation states that the Type-C serial port uses TTL signaling on the A2\/A3 and B2\/B3 pins and enumerates as port 0. The CBL-USBC-USBA-RS232 breaks those signals out to a 3.5mm serial jack, and also provides a standard USB-A port for touch sensors, button panels, keyboards or barcode scanners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSerial on the LS424 is disabled by default. BrightSign documents enabling it through the player registry with BrightScript or the JavaScript registry API; enabling it from the Debug Console does not persist after a reboot, so set it in the registry for permanent installs. The LS424 USB-C connector can supply up to 0.5A for peripherals, which is enough for many low-power USB devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe LS423 and LS424 are discontinued Series 4 models, so this adapter mainly supports existing LS4 deployments.
