Audio group master commands

NSee “Group masters“, in chapter 5, “Switcher Software“, for more information about audio group masters.

You must have assigned members to a group for these commands to have an effect.

For X6%, a positive (+) value is assumed unless you specify otherwise (-).

If you enter a X6% value that is outside the valid range for the group or outside the soft limits, the switcher responds with an “invalid parameter” (E13) error.

X6%, X6^, and X6& values can be sent without leading zeroes; responses are alway 5 digits.

Set a group fader control

EDX6$*X6%GRPM}

GrpmX6$*X6%]

Set the group fader to a

 

 

 

 

value of X6%.

Example:

Ed2*-293*GRPM}

GrpmD02*-00293*GRPM]Set the group 2 fader control

 

 

 

 

to -29.3 dB.

Raise a group fader control

EDX6$*X6^+GRPM}

GrpmX6$*X6%]

Increase the level of the X6$

 

 

 

 

group fader by X6^ dB.

Example

Ed2*30+GRPM}

GrpmD02*-00263*GRPM]Raise the group 2 fader 3 dB

 

 

 

 

(from -29.3 dB to -26.3 dB,

 

 

 

 

starting from the level set

 

 

 

 

in the “Set a group fader

 

 

 

 

control” example, above.

Lower a group fader

EDX6$*X6^-GRPM}

GrpmX6$*X6%]

Set soft limits

ELX6$*X6&upper*X6&lowerGRPM}

 

Set the groups soft limits to

 

 

GrpmLX6$*X6&*X6&]

X6& and X6&.

 

 

 

Example:

EL2*-48*-630GRPM}

GrpmL02*-00048*-00630]Set the upper soft limit for

 

 

 

 

the group 2 fader to -4.8 dB
