Switcher-initiated messages

Switcher-initiated messages

When a local event occurs, such as a front panel operation, loss or restoration of an input signal, or an error condition, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below:

(C) Copyright 2002, Extron Electronics, SW AV Series, Vx.xxSig n n n n n n CnError responses

The switcher issues the copyright message and input selected message when it first powers on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number. Cn identifies the currently selected input, where n is the input number (input 1 is the power-up default in normal mode). The switcher also sends the CnTimeout message whenever the selected input is changed using the front panel buttons.

A video switcher initiates this message when there is a change in the status of a video input. Each n indicates an input (1 through last, from left to right). n = 1 indicates video signal present, n = 0 indicates video signal not preset. There are as many ns in the switcher-initiated message as the maximum number of inputs for the models (4, 6, 8, or 12).

Reconfig Manual background

The switcher initiates the Reconfig message when there is a change in an audio model’s audio gain setting.

Error responses

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

E01Manual background – Invalid input channel number (out of range)

E10Manual background – Invalid command

E13Manual background – Invalid parameter (out of range)

E14Manual background – Illegal command for this configuration

Timeout

Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.

Using the command/response table

The command/response table is on the next page. Symbols are used throughout the table to 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.
