MATRIX SWITCHERS
10
This command sets a unique ID number to
each HOMERUN module and allows control of
multiple modules through a single RS-232 port.
In order to control multiple modules
independently with one RS-232 port, the unit ID
is used. Setting the unit ID allows a user to
send the same command to multiple modules,
but the module processes that command with
the indicated ID number only. The factory
default unit ID=1.
Each HOMERUN Matrix Switcher system may
have a different number of levels (modules).
Each level corresponds to an individual
component of the signal. For example, the
RED video signal is considered to be one level
(module) and the BLUE video signal is
considered to be a different level in a RGBHV
matrix switcher.
If red, green and blue signals are switched
individually, then you would set level ID 2 for
red, ID 3 for green and ID 4 for blue. But if you
want red, green and blue signals to switch
simultaneously, then you should set the same
ID for each module.
If the ID level is set to 1 then all units will
always switch regardless of the select level
command issued. From the factory all new
units are shipped with ID number 1. If level ID
is set to 0, then the unit will not respond to any
command other than [SETIDn]. This command
is used for programming the switcher; it should
not be used as part of a program to operate
the switcher.
[BAUDn]
n - 4 2400
- 5 4800
- 6 9600 (used for remote
terminal – CP-02)
Select the baud rate for communication
between the HOMERUN Matrix Switcher and
the Control System or PC.
The default or factory reset baud rate of the
switcher is 2400bps. Hand held remote control
units operate at 9600 baud only.
[CODEn]
n - 1-[ ]
- 2 - ( )
- 3 - { }
- 4 - : ;
- 5 - < >
- 6 - : /
This command is used to allow changes in
command delimiters (start and end codes).
This feature can be properly used only at the
2400 and 4800 baud rates. At 9600 baud, only
n=1 should be used. The factory default is
[CODE1], so each command will start with [
and end with ].
This command is used for programming the
switcher; it should not be used as part of a
program to operate the switcher.
[IkkOmmS]
kk = Total number of inputs; 00 to 96
mm = Total number of outputs; 00 to 96
Set the maximum number of inputs and
outputs used in a particular module/level of the
switcher. This command is used at the factory
at the time of set up.
This command is used for programming the
switcher. It should not be used as a part of a
program to operate the switcher. There is no
feedback provided for this command.
[IkkOmmA]
kk = Input offset number; 00 to 96
mm = Output offset number; 00 to 96
This command defines offset for input and
output. This command is used when the matrix
switcher needs to be expanded to a larger size.
Default is kk=0 and mm=0. For example, if
more than 16 inputs are required, the input
offset of the second switcher is the series set
to 16, so that its inputs start from 17. If more
than 32 inputs are required then the offset is
set to 32 for the next switcher in the series.
The same is applied to the outputs. With this
offset command, matrix switchers can be built
with sizes up to 96x96.
