Hello,  
I have read [this item](https://xibo.org.uk/docs/setup/command-functionality) (a dozen times!) about RS232 and using commands to control the power of a monitor.  
We are using a pro monitor from Samsung (I will check the version later). It has a RS232 connector.  
But, maybe I am asking something silly, but, how do I connect this RS232 to the XIBO-player?  
Do I need a cable like in the picture? Or don’t I need any additional hardware?

The second picture contains the commands I need to send to the monitor to control the power.

Hopefully someone can help me with this.  
Regards. Peter
