MATRIX SWITCHERS

15

This command selects the output to control.
Once the output number to be controlled is set
through this command, this output can be
connected to several inputs. If output 00 is
selected then disconnect all inputs to be
specified through the connect command,
[IkkOXXC].

[IkkOXXC]

kk

= input number 01 to 16

This command connects a specified input to
the previously selected output through the
[IXXOmm] command. A set of these
commands will allow switching different inputs
to a previously fixed output. For example, the
sequence of commands would be:

[IXXO05][I06OXXC][I09OXXC][I12OXXC],
which means that output 5 is first selected and
then connected to input 6, 9, and12.

[IXXOmmC]

mm = output number 00 to 16

This command connects a specified output to a
previously selected input through the [IkkOXX]
command. This command fixes the specific
input. A set of these commands will allow
switching different outputs to a previously fixed
input. For example, the sequence of
commands would be as follows:

[I03OXX][IXXO06C][IXXO09C][IXXO12C],
which means that input 3 is first selected and
then connected to outputs 6,9 and 12.

[CAnnxxkkpp…zz]

Connect All. Connect any of the 16 inputs to
any of the 16 outputs. The “CA Switch All”
command is used to make a quick switch of all
inputs and outputs. The position identifies
output number and the value identifies the
input number. The input number can be from
01-16. Value X can be used if no switching is
required for a specific output. If 00 is used, it
disconnects that output. For an 8x8
HOMERUN Switcher, connect will have all 16
position but positions, 9 through 16 will have
either XX or 00

For example, to connect input 2 to 3, 8 to 10 &
leave other outputs as the same as the
command will be issued as follows,
[CAXXXX02XXXXXXXX02XX02XXXXXXXXX
XXX]. To connect input 1,4,6,9, and 12 to the
same numbered outputs (1-1, 4-4, 6-6, 9-9, 12-
12) and ignore all other connections the
command will be issued as follows
[CA01XXXX04XX06XXXX09XXXX12
XXXXXXXX]. If you want to connect input 1, 4,
6, 9 & 12 to same outputs but disconnect other
outputs, then the command issued will be:
[CA01000004000600000900001200000000]

[IXXOXXX]

This command provides feedback on all
connections. The feedback is in the form of 16
2-byte ASCII characters. This can be used to
determine the current status of the switcher.

The feedback format is as follows:
xxnnxxnnxxnnxxnnxxnnxxnnxxnnxxnn. The
position determines the output and the number
shows the input that is connected to this
output. If the HOMERUN Matrix Switcher is 8x8
then the feedback of only the first 8 outputs will
be provided, others will be 00.

[IkkOXXX]

kk

= specific input number; 01 to 16

This command is used to get information from
the switcher on the current connection of the
specified input. The return string identifies
which output is connected to the specified
input. The return string is a multiple of mm,
where mm is the current output connected to
the specified input. For example, [I02OXXX]
can return 030104, which means outputs 3, 1,
4 are connected to input2. [I04OXXX] can
return 00, which means there is nothing
connected to Input4.

[IXXOmmX]

mm = output number 00 to 16

This command is used to get information from
the switcher on the current connection of the
specified output. The return string identifies
which input is connected to the specified
output. The return string is a multiple of mm,
