Communication Protocols

Level 1: Video crosspoint control

Level 2: Audio crosspoint control

Level 3: RGB Mute

Level 4: Audio levels

"X": Connect Crosspoint

Request: **X!! out,in,lvl

Response: **OK!! or an ‘Update’ message when updates are turned on.

Action: Make a connection to an output on a level.

The command "X" is used to request that a connection be made. It must be followed by an output number, a comma, an input number, a comma, and a level number(s).

For example, the command: **X24,13,2!!

says that a connection is to be made between output 24 and input 13 on level

2.If the level number is specified as "0", this means that the connection is to be made on all levels (AFV).

For example, the command: **X8,3,0!!

says that a connection is to be made between output 8 and input 3 on all levels.

The above structure of the x command is 100% compatible with all SVS routers. Expanding on this, this protocol can address more than one level identity in a single message. For example:

**X8,3,2,3,4!!

Tells the router to switch output 8 to input 3 on levels 2, 3 and 4 while leaving level 1 unchanged.

Or **X8,3,2,3,4X8,7,1!!

Tells the router to switch output 8 to input 3 on levels 2, 3, 4 and to switch level 1 to input 7.

"D": Delay Vertical Sync Intervals

Request: !D numsyncs*

Response: **OK! !<CR>

Action: Delay a number of vertical sync intervals.

The command "D" is used to delay before continuing execution of the commands that follow. It must be followed by a number giving the number of vertical sync intervals by which to delay. If the number is 1, the delay will be
