MATRIX SWITCHERS

where mm is the current input connected to the specified output.

For example, the [IXXO02] command can return 04 indicating that input #4 is currently connected to output #2. [IXXO03] can return 00, which means that nothing is currently connected to output #3.

[SW] - Switch

The switch command immediately connects inputs and outputs simultaneously which are previously set with the path command.

This command initiates the switching sequence of the [IxxOmmP] or [IxxOmmUnP] commands.

[SAVnn] - Save Memory.

nn = memory to save 00-16

The HOMERUN Switcher contains 16 memories. Each memory is capable of storing one preset (scenes or salvos). The preset (scenes or salvos) can consist of a group of connections between different inputs and outputs. These memories can be saved using the Front panel, a remote control panel or through RS-232 commands. For example, [SAV12] command will save current input to output connections in memory space #12.

[RCLnn] - Recall Memory.

nn = memory to recall 00-16

The HOMERUN Switcher is capable of storing one preset (scene or salvo) per each of 16 memory locations. The preset (scene or salvo) consists of a group of connections between different inputs and outputs. The preset of connections stored in each memory can be recalled using the front panel, a remote control panel, or through RS-232 commands.

CONTROL OPERATION

Connect any input to any output:

Press the desired input, 1 through 16. The input LED will flash slowly. The LED on the outputs that are already connected to the selected input will flash quickly. The outputs that are not connected to the selected input will have LED OFF. Press the desired output 1 through 16. Input and output LED’s will remain ON showing the current connections.

Input to output order must always be followed. First, press the input button and then press the output button. If the unit has only 8 outputs installed, the output buttons above 8 will not be operational.

Disconnect any input from any output:

Press the desired input button on the front panel. The outputs that are connected to this input will have its LED flashing quickly, so select the desired output that should be disconnected and press that output button.

Save current configuration

Press any input button, 1 through 16, and hold it for 2 seconds to save current input to output connections into any of the 16 memory locations of the HOMERUN Matrix Switcher.

The unit will beep and the switcher status (current input to output connections) will be saved. Memory #1 is always recalled during power-up or during the reset. This sequence only saves the configuration of the switches. It does not save any system variables like baud rate, Unit ID number, etc.

Recall saved memory:

When the RECALL button is pressed, all input LED’s will flash quickly, indicating that an action is required from the operator. Press INPUT 1 through INPUT 16 to recall a selected memory location, 1 through 16.

Pressing 1 will make the input to output connections the same as during Power ON.

One button operation of the recall function:
