MATRIX SWITCHERS
2.Output offset is zero for both units.
3.The input offset must be set for all units except the first one. The offset for input should be the same as the last input number of the previous unit.
4.The number of inputs available on second unit for direct connection is the difference between the maximum number of inputs of the second unit, and the number of looped outputs.
5.Set the loop offset separately for each unit. The loop offset is zero for the first unit. For other units it is the number of outputs of the previous unit.
Example: If one wants to create a 28x4 switcher, there is a need for 2 16x4 HOMERUN Switchers. Connect output 1 through 4 of the first unit to the last four inputs of a second unit in increasing order. Please program the switcher using the following table:
PARAMETER | UNIT A | UNIT B |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Size | [I16O04S] | [I16O04S] |
|
|
|
Offset | [I00O00A] | [I16O00A] |
|
|
|
Loop Command | [I00O00L] | [I00O04L] |
|
|

Now if you send the commands as follows, the active connectors will be as follows on both units:
to outputs, as saved in memory position #1. There is no feedback provided, but the unit will beep after execution of this command. This command is the equivalent of turning ON the unit.
F 1 F | 2 | F 1 F 2 |
Input 1 - 16 |
| Input 17 - 28 Output 1 - 4 |
A | 16 x 4 | B 16 x 4 |
| HOMERUN | HOMERUN |

[RSETD] – Default Reset switcher
This command initializes all functions, clears all memories, sets baud rate to 2400, sets the number of input/outputs to 16, resets offset to 00, and recalls memory #1 to switch the appropriate inputs to outputs. There is no RS- 232 command feedback provided, but the unit beeps after execution of this command. This command resets the HOMERUN Switcher to the same as the factory condition.
[RSETC] - Configuration Reset of switcher
This command initializes only the number of inputs to outputs and offset to factory condition default. There is no

[RSETS] - System Reset switcher
This command initializes everything except the number of inputs, outputs and the offset. This command initializes all functions, clears current input to output connections changes baud rate to 2400bps and clears all current memories. There is no feedback provided, but the unit beeps until this command is executed.
[VERN] – Version
This command provides the current version of the firmware used in connected switchers.
This command initializes all outputs (clears all current connections of inputs to outputs), and recalls memory #1 to switch appropriate inputs
There is no need to add an F at the end of the command. There is no feedback of [OK] or
12
