Set (Tie) Connection Commands
The Set Connection Commands that follow are the programming equivalent of
the Tie Menus used from the QS-FPC.
Planes and Plane Maps
When looking at the rear panel of the Matrix 100, the planes are counted from
left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Presently, six planes (switching modules) are
supported with hardware. Planes 1, 2, and 3 are reserved for Red, Green, and
Blue modules. Planes 4 and 5 can have either sync or video switching modules,
depending on how the Matrix 100 was configured at the factory. A Matrix, built
with both a sync and composite video switcher, will have the sync module in
plane 4 and the composite video module in plane 5. Plane 6 is reserved for
stereo audio.
The Matrix 100 can access the planes independently, or in combinations, or
groups. Commands can access the planes, by using Plane Map bytes, called
PlnMap0 and PlnMap1. (PlnMap1 is not used at this time.)
Examples below show the correlation between the planes and the bit numbers.
