USB input event - video command with HD1024

Hello,

I want to use a handwheel (pulse generator) linked in USB to a HD1024 to command video (go forward / go backward). 

In my mind, there is maybe 2 ways to implement this :

- the simpler way, directly on the video file with a command "go forward/backward" associated to each direction of rotation (CW/CCW). But when I click on my video, then Advanced/Video I am not able to find something like this (there is only command like "pause" , etc.)

-longer way, "convert" my video into images and create a Image list, then associate the command "previous/next" to the direction of rotation.

Also, I presume I can use the USB input event, but as I need to put it between 2 media I don't know how to use it in my case.

Maybe there is a simpler way but I struggle to figure out how to do with these tools, this is the first time I use BrightAuthor ...

 

Also, I wonder how the handwheel communicates with the player. I use the MR190 from Micronor. Here is the MR190 datasheet : https://www.micronor.com/products/files/MR190/MICRONOR_DS_MR190.pdf

However, I have the USB version (cannot find the datasheet...) so I guess the data sent looks like the Pull-up output (and not Line driver). But I don't know yet what is the difference between CW and CCW signals (how to differentiate once there is only 1 pulse ? I'm waiting Micronor support answer). But anyway, it will be a binary code that will be able to enter in Specific USB input or something.

 

Now, the questions : 

1) Do you see something wrong in what I said ?

2) Do you know another way to perform such a command ?

3) Do I need / Is there a driver for this device (MR190) to work with the player ?

Sorry for the long post, I hope I was clear. Thanks in advance !

    Looks like the MR190 support RS422 so you could look at USB to RS422 adapter?

    My bad, actually my MR190 has RS232 (and micro USB) output. So I can probably connect it to the 3.5 mm RS232 BrightSign port I guess.

    What about the way to command go forward/backward video ?

    Thank you !
