X2! = On-screen menu time-out or screen saver sync timeout, (default = 60 seconds)/output sync time-out (default = 501 - never)

0 = OSD never displayed or output sync is instantly disabled with no active input 1 to 500 = 1 second increments

501 = OSD never times out, output sync is never times out

X2@ = Executive mode status:

0 = Off or disable, (default)

1 = Exec Mode 1 — Complete front panel lockout

2 = Exec Mode 2 — Partial front panel lockout (only input selection available)

X2# = Overscan (applied to SMPTE [NTSC, PAL, SECAM, 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p] input rates):

0 = 0.0% (default for RGB, HDMI) — a “true” Auto-Image will be executed on SMPTE inputs. 1 = 2.5% (default for YUV, composite) — an Auto-Image command snaps to a 2.5% table; no true Auto-Image.

2 = 5.0% an Auto-Image command snaps to a 5.0% table; no true Auto-Image.

X2$ = Aspect ratio:

1 = Fill: each input rate will automatically fill the entire output raster (default)

2 = Follow: each input rate will be displayed with its native aspect ratio

X2% = Screen saver mode:

1 = Black screen (default)

2 = Blue output

X2^ = Video mute;

0 = Off or disable

1 = On or enable (mute to black)

2 = mute all output sync and video

X2& = Auto-Image threshold value, 0 (black) though 100 (white), default = 25

X2* = HDCP status (valid only on TMDS inputs or outputs): 0 = No sink or source detected

1 = Sink or source detected with HDCP

2 = Sink or source detected but no HDCP is present

X2( = Video switching effect:

0 = Cut (audio ramps-down and ramps-up between inputs)

1 = Fade thought black (default) (audio ramps-down and ramps-up between inputs)

X3! = HDMI output format:

0 = Auto (default), based on sink EDID

1 = DVI

2 = HDMI RGB “Full”

3 = HDMI RGB “Limited”

4 = HDMI 444 YUV “Full”

5 = HDMI 444 YUV “Limited”

6 = HDMI 422 YUV “Full”

7 = HDMI 422 YUV “Limited”

X3@ = Auto switch mode: 0 = Disable (default)

1 = Gives priority to the highest input (3 then 2 then 1)

2 = Gives priority to the lowest input (1 then 2 then 3)

X3# = Audio gain and attenuation: -18 through + 12 dB, (with leading “+” or “–“)
