8.12.AMAUTO -- Select Automatic or Manual Gating for each Automixer Input

This command selects or queries the state of automatic or manual automixer gating thresholds for the specified input channel. Automatic thresholds mean that the automixer adaptively determines the gating thresholds based on current speech and noise levels using the gating ratio specified by the AMGATER command. Manual thresholds mean that the automixer uses the absolute threshold set via

the AMGATET command.

This command is a channel boolean command. See Section 6.3 and Section 6.1 for more information on this type of command.

This command is saved to non-volatile memory only as part of a preset. The state of this command will be restored after power-up only if a preset is saved and that preset is set to be the power-on preset.

Example

S01AMAUTO11

S01AMAUTO10

S01AMAUTO12

S01AMAUTO1?

Description

Select automatic thresholds for automixer gating on input channel 1.

Select manual thresholds for automixer gating on input channel 1.

Toggle between automatic and manual thresholds for automixer gating on input channel 1.

Query AMAUTO state on input channel 1.

Status Message

S01AMAUTO11

S01AMAUTO10

S01AMAUTO1x , where x is 0 or 1

depending on whether input channel 1 is currently set for manual or automatic thresholds.

S01AMAUTO1x , where x is 0 or 1

depending on whether input channel 1 is currently set for manual or automatic thresholds.

8.13. AMBUSID -- Set Automixer Groupings for EF Bus

This command is used to assign the internal automixer to one of the EF Bus automixer groups. For example, consider three EF2211's, each of which has its automixer enabled for its microphone input (input 1). Now, if each of these EF2211's sets its automixer to have Bus ID 5, then the three automixers (one from each EF2211) will work as a single automixer containing 3 (3 x 1) microphones. Setting AMBUSID to 0 means that the specified automixer is not grouped on the bus. For compatibility with EF2280 and EF2241 commands, the AMBUSID command requires you to specify the automixer number with the command. On the EF2280 and EF2241, there are two internal automixers. However, the EF2211 only has one internal automixer, so 1 is always specified.

The first argument in the AMBUSID command is the automixer number (always 1 for the EF2211) and the second argument is the Bus ID (0 for none, or 1 through 8). Although this command is a channel integer command, use of the wildcard character for the automixer number is not supported.

Another notable characteristic is its versatile compatibility with a range of devices, including cameras, projectors, and interface panels. This allows users to control multiple devices from a single point, streamlining the operation of complex setups. The straightforward nature of RS-232 commands simplifies integration, which is a significant benefit for both installers and end-users.

Polycom RS-232 also supports various baud rates, giving users the flexibility to optimize communication speed based on their requirements. This adaptability ensures that users can achieve the desired performance, whether they are managing basic functions like power and volume control or more complex commands for switching video sources or adjusting settings.

The technology also features error-checking capabilities, which contribute to its reliability in communication. This reduces the likelihood of issues during operations, ensuring that commands are correctly received and executed. Additionally, its structured protocol aids in diagnosing and troubleshooting, making it easier to manage any issues that arise.

With its robust nature and proven reliability, Polycom RS-232 remains a pivotal technology in the realm of audiovisual communications. Its combination of long-range capabilities, compatibility, flexibility, and reliability makes it an essential tool for enhancing the efficiency of modern communication environments. As technology continues to evolve, the importance of dependable interfaces like Polycom RS-232 cannot be overstated, ensuring seamless integration and operation of sophisticated communication systems. Whether used in educational institutions, corporate environments, or event venues, Polycom RS-232 guarantees a streamlined experience in device management and control.
