MATRIX SWITCHERS

This command selects the output to control. Once the output number to be controlled is set through this command, this output can be connected to several inputs. If output 00 is selected then disconnect all inputs to be specified through the connect command,

[IkkOXXC].

[IkkOXXC]

kk = input number 01 to 16

This command connects a specified input to the previously selected output through the [IXXOmm] command. A set of these commands will allow switching different inputs to a previously fixed output. For example, the sequence of commands would be:

[IXXO05][I06OXXC][I09OXXC][I12OXXC], which means that output 5 is first selected and then connected to input 6, 9, and12.

[IXXOmmC]

mm = output number 00 to 16

This command connects a specified output to a previously selected input through the [IkkOXX] command. This command fixes the specific input. A set of these commands will allow switching different outputs to a previously fixed input. For example, the sequence of commands would be as follows:

[I03OXX][IXXO06C][IXXO09C][IXXO12C], which means that input 3 is first selected and then connected to outputs 6,9 and 12.

[CAnnxxkkpp…zz]

Connect All. Connect any of the 16 inputs to any of the 16 outputs. The “CA Switch All” command is used to make a quick switch of all inputs and outputs. The position identifies output number and the value identifies the input number. The input number can be from 01-16. Value X can be used if no switching is required for a specific output. If 00 is used, it disconnects that output. For an 8x8 HOMERUN Switcher, connect will have all 16 position but positions, 9 through 16 will have either XX or 00

For example, to connect input 2 to 3, 8 to 10 & leave other outputs as the same as the command will be issued as follows, [CAXXXX02XXXXXXXX02XX02XXXXXXXXX XXX]. To connect input 1,4,6,9, and 12 to the same numbered outputs (1-1, 4-4, 6-6, 9-9, 12-

12)and ignore all other connections the command will be issued as follows [CA01XXXX04XX06XXXX09XXXX12 XXXXXXXX]. If you want to connect input 1, 4, 6, 9 & 12 to same outputs but disconnect other outputs, then the command issued will be: [CA01000004000600000900001200000000]

[IXXOXXX]

This command provides feedback on all connections. The feedback is in the form of 16 2-byte ASCII characters. This can be used to determine the current status of the switcher.

The feedback format is as follows:

xxnnxxnnxxnnxxnnxxnnxxnnxxnnxxnn. The position determines the output and the number shows the input that is connected to this output. If the HOMERUN Matrix Switcher is 8x8 then the feedback of only the first 8 outputs will be provided, others will be 00.

[IkkOXXX]

kk = specific input number; 01 to 16

This command is used to get information from the switcher on the current connection of the specified input. The return string identifies which output is connected to the specified input. The return string is a multiple of mm, where mm is the current output connected to the specified input. For example, [I02OXXX] can return 030104, which means outputs 3, 1, 4 are connected to input2. [I04OXXX] can return 00, which means there is nothing connected to Input4.

[IXXOmmX]

mm = output number 00 to 16

This command is used to get information from the switcher on the current connection of the specified output. The return string identifies which input is connected to the specified output. The return string is a multiple of mm,
