This family has common codes, but allocate the “Inputs A/B/C/D” differently.

Channel codes are:

Computer1	:= A9		+ 00	+ 01	+ 00 + 00	+ 02 + 03 + 9A;	// Input A VGA analog-RGB
Computer2	:= A9		+ 00	+ 01	+ 00 + 00	+ 03 + 03 + 9A;	// Input B	or Component
Computer3	:=	A9	+ 00	+ 01	+ 00 + 00	+ 04 + 05 + 9A;	// Input C	or HDMI
Computer4	:=	A9	+ 00	+ 01	+ 00 + 00	+ 05 + 05 + 9A;	// Input D or DVI

Video1	:= A9 + 00 + 01 + 00 + 00 + 00 + 01 + 9A;	// Composite Video RCA
Video2	:= A9 + 00 + 01 + 00 + 00 + 01 + 01 + 9A;	// S-Video
Video3	:= A9 + 00 + 01 + 00 + 00 + 02 + 03 + 9A;	// Input A (could be component)
Video4	:= A9 + 00 + 01 + 00 + 00 + 03 + 03 + 9A;	// Input B could be component)
Video5	:= A9 + 00 + 01 + 00 + 00 + 04 + 05 + 9A;	// Input C or HDMI
Video6	:= A9 + 00 + 01 + 00 + 00 + 05 + 05 + 9A;	// Input D or DVI

Any one of these codes can be set into Constant:0/Constant:1 for computer codes and Constant:2/Constant:3 for video codes. (The default is to have Computer1 (above) as the “Computer” channel and Video1 as the “Video” channel. Setting OPT1 switch ON will swap Video1 and Video2 channels, making S-Video the video default.)

•OPT7 handshake mode and power on panel connection blink codes available;

•Pressing a “Computer” channel key when already selected will instead send a Auto Pixel Align whenever needed;

•Setting OPT2 switch ON will send an Auto Pixel Align message 30 seconds after selecting a computer channel;

•Picture and sound mute is available with two-yellow-button mute mode, but no Freeze is available.
