HDMI-UTPRO-RX NetLinx Programming

Overview

The HDMI-UTPRO-RX Receiver recognizes a select number of NetLinx CHANNELs and SEND_COMMANDs.

NetLinx programming is supported only if the HDMI-UTPRO-RX is connected to the HDMI UTPro (a native NetLinx device).

The main Device SEND_COMMANDs are described on page 92. IR SEND_COMMANDs are described on page 93.

SERIAL SEND_COMMANDs are described on page 96.

Device Numbering

In NetLinx Studio’s Online Tree, the HDMI UTPro is listed as a device with a single port, and each HDMI-UTPRO-RX Receiver connected to the HDMI UTPro is listed as a separate device immediately following the HDMI UTPro (the default device number for the HDMI UTPro is 05500; refer to the Device Numbering section on page 83 for details).

Note: Only RX units that are physically connected to the HDMI UTPro will be represented in the Online Tree.

The device number for each HDMI-UTPRO-RX currently connected to the HDMI UTPro is automatically designated a device number, based on the device number of the HDMI UTPro to which it is connected and on the number of the UTP OUTPUT port (1-8) on the HDMI UTPro to which it is physically connected.

Therefore, it important to avoid assigning device numbers that will conflict with this auto-numbering scheme. Reserve the eight device numbers following the HDMI UTPro’s device number assignment for up to eight HDMI-UTPRO-RX Receivers.

In NetLinx Studio’s Online Tree, each HDMI-UTPRO-RX Receiver displays three ports (FIG. 61).

Ports 1-3 on HDMI-UTPRO-RX (device number 05501)

The three ports relate directly to the three types of NetLinx commands recognized by the HDMI-UTPRO-RX: Port 1 - SEND_COMMANDs

Port 2 - SERIAL (RS232) SEND_COMMANDs Port 3 - IR SEND_COMMANDs
