“Store Audio Status”

Request: 0x13 <setup#> <value> <machine>

Response: 0x53 <setup#> <value> <machine>

Action: Saves current audio status to specified setup

The “Store Audio Status” is used to manage audio status in setups. Specifying a value of 0 for “value” will store the existing audio crosspoint status to a specified setup number. Specifying a value of 1 for “value” will delete the current audio information stored in the specified setup. This command will overwrite any existing audio settings in the specified setup. Example:

 

Command

Meaning

Command To Switcher

0x13 0x85 0x80 0x81

Store current audio status to setup 5

Response From Switcher

0x53 0x85 0x80 0x81

Audio setup 5 stored

“Recall Audio Status”

Request: 0x14 <setup#> 0x00 <machine>

Response: 0x46 <setup#> 0x00 <machine>

Action: Restores audio status from specified setup

The “Recall Audio Status” command loads the audio settings in a specified setup to the current switcher crosspoints. Example:

 

Command

Meaning

Command To Switcher

0x14 0x85 0x80 0x81

Recall audio setup 5

Response From Switcher

0x54 0x85 0x80 0x81

Audio setup 5 recalled

“Set Audio Parameter”

Request: 0x16 <input/output> <value> <machine>

Response: 0x56 <input/output> <value> <machine>

Action: Sets an audio parameter of a specified input/output

The “Set Audio Parameter” command is used to directly set a parameter on an input or output. This command is precluded by an “Audio Parameter Settings” command, used to set further properties for this command. Bi- Directional command example:

 

Command

Meaning

Command To Switcher

0x16 0x85 0xff 0x81

Sets Audio Gain to 127 on in/out 5

Response From Switcher

0x56 0x85 0xff 0x81

In/out 5 has a value of 127
