Create ties

 

 

 

NOTES: • The ! tie command for RGB and % tie command for video can be used interchangeably for ties within the same group.

Video ties cannot be made between the computer video group and the low resolution video group.

• Video and audio ties between the low resolution video input subgroup and the low resolution video output subgroup are made

with the audio automatically redirected. In such an operation, the switcher automatically ties the audio to an output in the

computer video/audio outputs subgroup (outputs 1 through 6). See “Creating a Configuration,” on page 24 to identify the

outputs to which audio inputs are tied.

• The matrix switcher supports 1- and 2-digit numeric entries (1*1 and 02*02).

• Commands can be entered back-to-back in a string, with no spaces. For example: 1*1!02*02&3*03%.

• The quick multiple tie and tie input to all output commands activate all I/O switches simultaneously.

Tie input X! to output X@,

X!*X@!

OutX@InX!All]

Tie the video and audio on input X! to output

video and audio

 

— or —

X@.

 

 

Qik]

 

NOTE: The response is OutX#•InX!•All] when the video and audio ties are made between the computer video input group and the

computer/audio output group, because audio always follows the video.

The response is Qik] when video and audio ties are made between the low resolution video input group and the low resolution video output group, because audio is automatically broken away to the computer/audio group.

Example (computer

1*3!

Out03In01All]

Tie input 1 video and audio to output 3.

Tie input X! to output X@,

X!*X@&

OutX@InX!RGB]

Tie the video for input X! to output X@. Video

Example (see the 1st

5*4&

Out04In05RGB]

Tie input 5 RGB to output 4.

Tie input X! to output X@,

X!*X@%

OutX@InX!Vid]

Tie the video for input X! to output X@. Video

is broken away.

Example (see the 1st

9*7%

Out07In09Vid]

Tie input 9 video to output 7.

Tie input X! to output X@,

X!*X@$

OutX@InX!Aud]

Tie the audio for input X! to output X@. Audio

audio only

 

 

is broken away.

NOTE: Audio ties can only be made to the computer video/audio subgroup (outputs 1 through 6). The switcher responds with an E13 error if you try to make an audio-only tie to outputs 7 through 12.

Example:

12*4$

Out04In12Aud]

Tie input 12 audio to output 4.

Quick multiple tie

E+QX!*X@! ... X!*X@$}

NOTE: All video and audio group rules apply to the quick multiple tie command.

Example:

tie input 11 video to output 12,

 

 

and tie input 13 audio to output 6.
