The P4800 uses a standard 7 wire RS-232 port for control. Crestron and AMX controllers use 5 wire RS-232. In order to use a P4800 with Crestron or AMX, a custom cable will need to be built. The following diagram shows the cable. For a 5 volt supply, the resistor should be 1kohms.

The format to change presets is as follows: C n h pp h Where n is the device ID set via the DIP switches on the P4800 unit (0 to 15), and pp is the preset number minus one. pp has a range from 0 to 127.
Note: <Device ID> is a hexadecimal number ranging from 00h to 0Fh. This number should match the DIP switch setting on the back of the P4800. Once a command is sent, the P4800 will echo the command and then send a return string to acknowledge the change.
Matrix Mixer – Change Settings The matrix mixer signal processor in the P4800 unit has 4 inputs and N outputs (NOUTPUTS). When there is no cross over processor or splitter in the preset, N is 8, i.e. a 4 x 8 mixer. If there is a cross over or splitter, N is reduced by the number of cross over/splitter channels minus one.
The valid range for “Control Setting” is (0) to (127) from the following table. Control Setting <VA> Gain value (dB) -Infinity 1-26 -105 to –42.5, in 2.5 dB steps 27-127 -40.0 to +10.0, in 0.5 dB steps Increase/Decrease volume by a relative amount F0h 00h 01h 00h <Device ID>...
Activate Mixpoint (route an input to an output) Note: The <IDMSB> and <IDLSB> values must be calculated as follows: <IDMSB> = [((3 * NMIXPOINTS) + 15 + (Mix Point #)) >> 7] & 7Fh <IDLSB> = ((3 * NMIXPOINTS) + 15 + (Mix Point #)) & 7Fh where “>>...
The following list of commands can be sent to the P4800 to query the status of its settings. After the query command is sent, the P4800 will first send an echo of the query command and then it will send a return string with the status of the particular setting.
Volume Control – Mixpoint Note: <ID> = (Mix Point #) + 15 <VA> equals the settings in the following table. <VA> Gain value (dB) -Infinity 1-26 -105 to –42.5, in 2.5 dB steps 27-127 -40.0 to +10.0, in 0.5 dB steps Query command: F0h 00h 01h 00h <Device ID>...
