Altinex MAX Series Switch User Manual


 
MATRIX SWITCHERS
16
This command allows control of each signal
level independently. Once issued it is active
until another [SELn] command is issued or the
front panel is used to control the switcher.
When the front panel is used, the levels to be
controlled are defined by the front panel
selections. The front panel allows only 3
options of controlling channels; either AUDIO
or VIDEO or AUDIO+VIDEO. It is not
recommended to use the RS-232 control and
the front panel at the same time to control
different channels since front panel will
override RS-232 controls.
The LEDs on the back of the unit display the
status of a particular level. The RED LED
indicates that this level is not enabled for
controlling. The GREEN LED indicates that this
level is currently enabled for controlling.
During the power ON the MAX automatically
defaults to n=0 (Control all channels).
[SELnUx]
n = Same as above
This command works the same as above
except for specific unit ID number. This
command allows selection of levels (channels)
on switchers that have been assigned unique
unit ID numbers.
[InnOmm]
nn - input number 01 to 08 ( if input
number 00 is used, that input is
disconnected from the selected
output)
mm- output number 01 to 04
This command connects Input to Output and
switches them immediately.
For example, if you want to connect input 2 to
output 1 and switch, the command to be issued
will be: [I02O01]. Command [I00O01] will
disconnect output 1 from any input.
[InnOmmP]
nn - input number 01 to 08 ( if input
number 00 is used that input is
disconnected from the selected
output)
mm- output number 01 to 04
P - path
This command sets the switching path of
connecting an input to an output but does not
switch.
Through this command input to output
connections are loaded (path is set), but not
switched until [SW] or [SWUx] commands or a
direct connection command of [IxxOmm] is
sent.
For example, if you want to connect input 2 to
output 1 and not switch it, the command to be
issued will be: [I02O01P]
A typical sequence would look like this:
[I01O02P][I04O01P][I08O03P][I05O04P][SW]
or [I01O02P][I04O01P][I08O03P][I05O04].
[InnOmmUx]
xx Input number 01 to 08
yy Output number 01 to 04
n Unit ID number 0-9, A-Z, a-z
This command allows any input to be
connected immediately to any output on a MAX
Switcher with a specific unit ID.
For example, if two MAX Switchers are
connected to the same RS-232 port but have
unit IDs set as 3 and 4, the following command
can be issued to independently control each
unit: [I02O04U3][[I04O01U4]. The first
command connects input 2 to output 4 on the
switcher with ID=3 and the second command
connects input 4 to output 1 on the switcher
with ID=4.
[InnOmmUxP]
xx Input number 01 to 08
yy Output number 01 to 04
n Unit ID number 0-9, A-Z, a-z
This command is the same as [InnOmmUx],
however the switching does not occur until
[SWUx] or [SW] or direct connection command
is issued. Through this path command, input to
output connections are loaded, but not
switched.
