5.2 Issuing Status Request and Control Commands on a Specific Card
A wide range of commands are available to request status information from a card, as well as to perform
specific control over various card parameter settings. The set of applicable parameters and keys is specific
to each model of card. For the purpose of this document, various functions of the Densite DEC-1001
Composite Analog to SDI Decoder are used to illustrate control and monitoring of Densite cards using the
XML Gateway.
There are various types of settings that can be performed on a DEC-1001 card:
- Setting input formats, operational modes and other functions
- Setting a video processing parameter value to an absolute value
- Performing an audio processing function setting
- Others
