MATRIX SWITCHERS
This command sets a unique ID number to each HOMERUN module and allows control of multiple modules through a single
In order to control multiple modules independently with one
Each HOMERUN Matrix Switcher system may have a different number of levels (modules). Each level corresponds to an individual component of the signal. For example, the RED video signal is considered to be one level (module) and the BLUE video signal is considered to be a different level in a RGBHV matrix switcher.
If red, green and blue signals are switched individually, then you would set level ID 2 for red, ID 3 for green and ID 4 for blue. But if you want red, green and blue signals to switch simultaneously, then you should set the same ID for each module.
If the ID level is set to 1 then all units will always switch regardless of the select level command issued. From the factory all new units are shipped with ID number 1. If level ID is set to 0, then the unit will not respond to any command other than [SETIDn]. This command is used for programming the switcher; it should not be used as part of a program to operate the switcher.

Select the baud rate for communication between the HOMERUN Matrix Switcher and the Control System or PC.
The default or factory reset baud rate of the switcher is 2400bps. Hand held remote control units operate at 9600 baud only.

This command is used to allow changes in command delimiters (start and end codes). This feature can be properly used only at the 2400 and 4800 baud rates. At 9600 baud, only n=1 should be used. The factory default is [CODE1], so each command will start with [ and end with ].
This command is used for programming the switcher; it should not be used as part of a program to operate the switcher.
[IkkOmmS]
kk= Total number of inputs; 00 to 96 mm = Total number of outputs; 00 to 96
Set the maximum number of inputs and outputs used in a particular module/level of the switcher. This command is used at the factory at the time of set up.
This command is used for programming the switcher. It should not be used as a part of a program to operate the switcher. There is no feedback provided for this command.
[IkkOmmA]
kk= Input offset number; 00 to 96 mm = Output offset number; 00 to 96
This command defines offset for input and output. This command is used when the matrix switcher needs to be expanded to a larger size. Default is kk=0 and mm=0. For example, if more than 16 inputs are required, the input offset of the second switcher is the series set to 16, so that its inputs start from 17. If more than 32 inputs are required then the offset is set to 32 for the next switcher in the series. The same is applied to the outputs. With this offset command, matrix switchers can be built with sizes up to 96x96.
