Operation
Manual Operation
1.Connect Mains to unit. BLANK/MUTE LED will light.
2.Press button 1 to 6 to select required input source. The corresponding LED will light.
3.To Blank or Mute the outputs press the BLANK/MUTE button.
Auto-Switch Mode
1.Set the HEX switch on the rear of the unit to F.
2.Connect Mains to unit. BLANK/MUTE LED will light.
•The unit will scan the Vertical sync inputs from 1 to 6 and if any RGBHV input sources are active the unit will switch to the last detected input. The corresponding LED will light.
•Input sources are changed either from the front panel or by connecting a RGBHV source to any of the inputs. The unit will switch and hold to the last detected input or button selected.
3.To switch back to an active input either select the input from the front panel or temporarily disconnect the input from the PC and then recon- nect.
Alternatively, if using a Laptop, toggle through the Video modes until the Video Output is turned off then on again. (usually by holding the FN key with a Function key.)
Note: For the
Audio Switching
The audio inputs will switch to the corresponding RGBHV selected input.
RS232 Control
Options are available for Front Panel operation and RS232 from AMX control systems. Alternatively a Computer with a RS232 output can be used.
1.Connect the unit as previously described in Manual Operation.
2.Connect also the RS232 connection RX TX and GND.
In such cases the programming protocol is as follows:
RS232 DATA
• Baud Rate: | 9600 | ||
• | Parity: | none | |
• | Data: | 8 | Bits |
• STOP: | 1 | Bit | |
All units can be individually addressed 0 - 15 by setting the HEX switch on rear of unit.
RS232 connection on unit is by
PC Serial Port D9
•Pin 2: to Switcher TX
•Pin 3: to Switcher RX
•Pin 5: to Switcher GND
Several units may be linked together by connecting the signal lines in parallel. Units can then be globally or individually addressed.
Input Switch Commands
Byte 1 (Header) | Byte 2 (Address) | Byte 3 (Input) |
|
|
|
FC | 00 to 0F | 01 to 06 (00 for Blank/Mute) |
|
|
|
Each time the unit switches to a new input the following return code is transmitted from the TX Port.
Byte 1 | Byte 2 | Byte 3 |
|
|
|
C8 | Address No. | Current Input No. |
|
|
|
Note: Byte numbers are shown in Hexadecimal.
Full Interrogate
This command is an input query, and it returns the current input: Sending this command:
Byte 1 (Header) | Byte 2 (Address) | Byte 3 (Input) |
|
|
|
FC | 00 to 0F | 80 |
|
|
|
The unit will return the following information:
Byte 1 | Byte 2 | Byte 3 | Byte 4 (null) | Byte 5 (null) |
|
|
|
|
|
C8 | 00 to 0F | 0 - 06 | FF | FF |
|
|
|
|
|
Identity Command
This command is a model query, and it returns the model number. Sending this command:
Byte 1 | Byte 2 | Byte 3 | Byte 4 |
|
|
|
|
F2 | 09 | EA | 80 |
|
|
|
|
The unit will return the following information:
Byte 1 | Byte 2 |
|
|
6E | 01 = 1501 |
|
|
For example, if Byte 2 of the response is 0x01, then the unit is a 1501 model.
