3.2.1 Naming Functions
The matrix unit can be named. Its name can be up to 10 characters long.
To assign or retrieve a unit name:
Command: NU<cr> stands for Name Unit
Response:
xxxxxxxxxx (current name)
Rename unit: ___________
No change<cr>
If you hit <cr> or wait 5 seconds (command times out) the unit will respond with:
Cancelled<cr>
Otherwise you have 5 seconds to change the name by entering up to 10 ASCII
characters followed by <cr>. If you just send a <cr> then the stored name will not
be changed. If you enter more than 10 characters, then the 1
st
10 characters will
be saved as the name and the rest discarded.
3.2.2 Routing Functions
Video routing commands are specified from the point of view of the output. The
wildcard character ‘*’ is acceptable for output (but not input).
In addition, these commands can be used to monitor or query the status of system
ties. Omitting the input channel will result in a response of the current routing for
that output. In entering channel numbers leading zeros are acceptable hence you
can specify channel 7 as 07 or just 7.
3.2.2.1 To make a video tie:
Command: CVn,m<cr> stands for Connect Video n = output, m= input (unit
accepts leading zeros and spaces are ignored)
Response: CVn,m<cr>
If you enter CVn<cr> then you will get the response as above for the n output
3.2.2.2 To make an audio tie:
Command: CAn,m<cr> stands for Connect Audio n = output, m= input (unit
accepts leading zeros and spaces are ignored)
Response: CAn,m<cr>
3.2.2.3 To make a synchronized audio/video tie:
Command: COn,m<cr> stands for Connect Output n = output, m= input (unit
accepts leading zeros and spaces are ignored)
