Switcher error responses

When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 — Invalid input channel number (out of range)

E10 — Invalid command

E11 — Invalid preset number (out of range)

E12 — Invalid output number (out of range)

E13 — Invalid value (out of range)

E14 — Invalid command for this configuration

Using the command/response table

The command/response table begins on page 4-5. Symbols used in the table represent variables in the command/response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table. The ASCII to HEX conversion table at right is for use with the command/response table.

Symbol definitions:

= Carriage return/line feed

Esc = Escape key

X1 = Input number

X2 = Input number (for tie)

X3 = Output number

With the exception of the audio input gain and attenuation commands, the SIS commands are not case sensitive.

= Carriage return (no line feed)

1 through 4 (MVX 44, MVX 48) or 1 through 8 (MVX 84, MVX 88)

0 (untie) – maximum number of inputs

1 through 4 (MVX 44, MVX 84) or 1 through 8 (MVX 48, MVX 88)

Input and output numbers in commands may be entered as either 1-digit, 2-digit, or 3-digit numbers. All input and output numbers are reported as 1-digit numbers in the response.
