Reference for Basic Control Commands
These commands are all that are needed for basic control of the HDA800(V2) and includes power on/
off, remapping sources to zones. This section also includes some helpful control options for changing
the way serial commands behave.
Definitions
The following terms are used through out this manual.
Zone
An output. Zone and Output can are used interchangeably throughout the manual . A single zone con-
sists of the combination of a HDMI video channel, and an HDMI audio channel for the HDMI switch.
For most commands, zones are indicated by using a ‘
@ ’ prefix character.
Source
An input. For commands that mix inputs with zones, ‘inputs’ are indicated by numbers without a ‘ @ ’
prefix.
Channel
A channel is an HDMI video path, or an HDMI audio path. Channels are used to control breakaway
features. Channels can be switched independently of each other.
The following channels are supported by the HDA800(V2):
1 - HDMI video channel.
2 - Analog audio channel.
4 - Reserved.
8 - HDMI audio channel.
On a command line, a channel is indicated by a ‘.’ followed by the channel(s) number. Channel num-
bers can be combined by adding them together, for instance channel number 9 would refer to both the
HDMI video and HDMI audio channels. (See: “‘HSZ’ Set Zone(s) -- HDMI Switch” on page 34, for
more information on using channels to control breakaway options.)
