Programmer’s Guide

The scaler’s rear panel Remote 9-pin D female connector (figure 4-1) can be connected to the RS-232 serial port output of a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility or a control system. This connection makes software control of the scaler possible.

Symbols

Symbols ( Xn values), defined below, are used throughout the discussions of the switcher-initiated messages that begin on the next page and the command/ response table that begins on page 4-6. The symbols represent variables in the switcher-initiated messages and the command/response table fields.

 

 

= CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) (hex 0D 0A)

 

 

= Carriage return (no line feed)

 

= Space

 

 

 

= Escape key

 

 

Esc

 

 

X1

= Input number (1 or 2)

 

 

X2

= Input video type:

 

 

 

 

0

= RGB

3

= Betacam 50

 

 

1

= YUVi

4

= Betacam 60

 

 

2

= YUVp

5

= HDTV

X3

 

= Scaler resolution:

 

 

 

 

00

= 640x480

08

= 1360x765

 

 

01

= 800x600

09

= 1365x1024

 

 

02

= 832x624

10

= 1400 x 1050

 

 

03

= 848x480

11 = 576p

 

 

04

= 852x480

12

= 720p

 

 

05

= 1024x768

13

= 1080p

 

 

06

= 1280x768

14

= 1080i

 

 

07

= 1280x1024

 

 

X4

= Scaler refresh rate

 

 

 

 

00

= 50 Hz

03

= 75 Hz

 

 

01

= 56 Hz*

04

= 85 Hz

 

 

02

= 60 Hz

05

= Output sync polarity:

 

 

00

= H–/V–

02

= H+/V–

01

= H–/V+

03

= H+/V+

=On/off status (0 = off, 1 = on)

=Brightness value (000 thru 063)

=Contrast value (000 thru 255)

=Filter value (000 thru 007)

=Blanking value (0 thru 237)

=Pixel sampling phase (00 through 31)

=RGB delay (00 to 50)

=Test pattern type (1 through 10)

000

= off

006

= alternating pixels

001

= Color Bars

007 = film aspect ratio 1.78

002

= crosshatch

008

= film aspect ratio 1.85

003

= 4x4 crosshatch

009

= film aspect ratio 2.35

004

= grayscale

010 = ramp

005

= crop

 

 

=Input configuration preset (01 through 03)

=nnn.nn where

Hrt = horizontal rate (kHz) Vrt = vertical rate (Hz)

xxx:xx means signal out of range

X5

Lock is Accu-RATE Frame Lock (AFL) — 50 Hz (PAL) or 59.94 Hz (NTSC) .

= Output video type:

 

00 = RGB

01 = Component (Y, R-y, B-y)

X17

= Detected input signal standard (0 through 4)

0

= none

3

= NTSC 4.43

1

= NTSC 3.58

4

= SECAM

2

= PAL

= not applicable

– occurs when the input is set for RGB, YUV, or progressive YUV.
