What I did was connect the Broadcast Tools switcher to the USB-to-serial converter and plug the latter into the Rivendell machine, where it showed up as /dev/ttyUSB0. I could then use rdadmin to map it as Switcher 0, and Rivendell can now control the switcher.

USB-Serial gives you an RS-232 port, but you still have to do something with 
that port, connect it to something to interface with, for example.  Are you 
saying that you can use some of the RS-232 pins as GPIO directly?

There's no need; you can use a USB-to-serial adapter. I am doing this on 
several stations.
