Switcher-Initiated Messages

When a local event such as power-up or a front panel operation occurs, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed in the following pages. The messages are underlined.

The switcher does not expect a response from the host, but the host program may request a new status.

Power-up

The copyright message is initiated by the switcher when it is first powered on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number.

Input selection

Out X2 •In X1 •All

A front panel video and audio switching, cut, or dissolve operation has occurred. X2 is the output number and X1 is the input number.

Out X2 •In X1 •RGB

A front panel video-only switching, cut, or dissolve operation has occurred. X2 is the output number and X1 is the input number.

Out X2 •In X1 •Aud

A front panel audio-only switching, cut, or dissolve operation has occurred. X2 is the output number and X1 is the input number.

Busy (cut and dissolve)

Bsy X3

A cut or dissolve operation has been initiated or completed and the switcher is reporting its busy status ( X3 ). After the switcher has reported that it is busy

(Bsy1 ), it ignores all SIS commands until it completes the operation and reports that it is no longer busy (Bsy0 ).

Cutting or dissolving in stay mode

The switcher issues the following reports when you switch the input that is applied to the preview output to the program output in stay mode:

The sequence of commands may vary, but you should see all of the listed commands.

Tke X4	(SIS operation response only) The
	switcher has received the SIS “Take” (%)
	command.
Bsy1	The switcher is busy and will not respond
	to any SIS commands.
Out1•In X1 •All (or RGB or Aud)	The input to the program output has
	changed (to the input that had been
	switched to preview output).
Bsy0	The switcher is no longer busy and is able
	to respond to SIS commands.
