Video and Audio Mute

Video Mute enables the user to mute the video signal (the display goes to black) at the chosen output. Activated via IR remote control [or RS-232, see the RS-232 Command List].

Activate Video & Audio Mute:	R1 ‡ output (1~2)	‡ up arrow
Deactivate Video & Audio Mute:	R1 ‡ output (1~2)	‡ down arrow

RS-232 Commands and Protocol

The KD-MSW4x2 4-to-2 HDTV Matrix Switcher can also be remotely controlled via its RS-232 port by systems such as Crestron, AMX, ELAN, and Control4, utilizing industry standard commands

PROTOCOL:

›4800 Baud rate

›8 data bits

›1 Stop bit

›No parity

RS-232 Cable

Carefully insert an RS-232 cable (9-pin) to the back of the unit, and to an appropriate PC or Control System.

An RS-232 cable is not supplied with the KD-MSW4x2 unit.

The RS-232 Command List for the KD-MSW4x2 HDTV Switcher is as follows:

1.I/O switching command: CCxy

x= output position (1...2), y = input position (1...4)

2.Status command:

CCww

Note: Since both commands are of a defined length, no terminator is required

Both commands give the following response:

a)UUy1y2y

b)Y1y2y3y4 – input states (1...4)

3.Address command:

CCA<number (1~9)>

CCA9 : Selects default KD-MSW4x2 unit (non addressable)

CCA1~8 : Selects the KD-MSW4x2 unit corresponding to that predetermined numerical address

Example:

CCA5 sets the address to “5”

The user must then press “5” to select/change a different source input on that unit IR 5‡‘output 1’ ‡3 links output 1 to input 3
