How to Route Audio Alone:
To route audio alone, push the AUDIO key, then a one-, two-, or three-digit
number for the output you wish to route to, then a one-, two-, or three-digit
number for the input you wish to route from, then push ENTER.
After the first AUDIO command has been executed, it is not necessary to
push the AUDIO before the output and input numbers on subsequent com-
mands.
Examples: AUDIO18[ENTER], AUDIO0164[ENTER], AUDIO127216[ENTER]
How to Store a Crosspoint Pattern:
The Chameleon256’s CPU card has the ability to store up to 64 complete
crosspoint patterns in memory. As crosspoints are being made on the front panel
controller, or from an external RS232 device, they are stored in the current
crosspoint map. That map can be stored at any time in one of the twenty available
locations. Push the STORE key, then a two-digit number from 01 to 64, then the
ENTER key. Note: the pattern previously stored at that location will be overwrit-
ten.
Examples: STORE01[ENTER], STORE64[ENTER]
The Front Panel Controller can also store up to twenty patterns in its local
memory. To store the current pattern in the controller’s memory, push STORE,
then 80, then a two-digit number from 01-20, then the ENTER key.To recall
patterns from the controller’s memory, push STORE, then 81, then a two-digit
number from 01-20, then ENTER. Each controller has a battery-backed memory of
its own patterns.
Examples: STORE80, 01, [ENTER]; STORE80, 20, [ENTER]
How to Recall a Stored Pattern:
To recall one of the 64 stored patterns from the Chameleon256’s CPU
memory, push the RECALL key, then a two-digit number from 01 to 64 for the
pattern to be recalled, then the ENTER key.
Examples: RECALL01 [ENTER], RECALL64 [ENTER]
3.4.3 ROUTING VIDEO AND AUDIO TOGETHER
To route both audio and video from the same input, send a four, six, or
eight-byte command in the form:
Bxy[ENTER],
Bxxyy[ENTER],
Bxxxyyy[ENTER]
where xxx is an output number (01 to 64) and yyy is an input number (01-64). The
number of digits in the input number must match the number of digits in the out-
put number.
Examples: B16[ENTER], B1802[ENTER], B005127[ENTER]
To route both audio and video from different inputs, send a five, eight, or
eleven-byte command in the form:
Qxyz[ENTER],
Qxxyyzz[ENTER],
Qxxxyyyzzz[ENTER]
where xxx is an output number (1 to 128), yyy is a video input number (1-256),
and zzz is an audio input number (1 to 256). The number of digits in the input
number must match the number of digits in the output number.
Examples: Q161[ENTER], Q183202[ENTER], Q005127001[ENTER]
3.4.4 TURNING AN OUTPUT OFF
Sometimes it is helpful to be able to disconnect a crosspoint altogether; that is,
have nothing connected to an output. To turn an output off, send a letter (B for
both, A for audio, or V for video), then the output number, then 0, 00, or 000 (to
match the number of digits in the output number) then ENTER. To turn the output
back on, route any input to it.
Examples: B10[ENTER], V1800[ENTER], A127000[ENTER]
