    Using the Front Panel Locking the EDID settings MENU ZONE SELECT EDID: Unlocked {Unlock} Lock Cancel SETTING BACK NEXT Locking the EDID will prevent EDID changes from registering with the switch. When the EDID is locked, all changes to the sources and zones will be ignored. Audio Video Receivers can sometimes change their EDID settings when power is cycled.

  • Page 18: Saving The Edid/Hdcp Settings

    Using the Front Panel Saving the EDID/HDCP settings Each time the HD1600V2 is power on, it must read the EDIDs of each zone, and negotiate the HDCP keys between sources and zones. Once these EDIDs are read and the HDCP keys negotiated, they will be cached until the next time the switch is powered down.

  • Page 19: Functional Overview

    Using The HD1600V2 Using The HD1600V2 Functional Overview The HD1600V2 is functionally divided into two switches, an HDMI switch and a SPDIF Digital Audio switch. These two switches function as two separate switches. The HDMI switch, is a full featured HDMI switch with audio breakaway capabilities. It caches EDID settings and HDCP keys.

  • Page 20: Edid

    Using The HD1600V2 EDID EDID is simple in concept. Each monitor or receiver contains a small data block that indicates what the monitor’s or receiver’s capabilities are. When a source connects to a monitor, the monitor’s EDID is read, and using this information, the source adjusts its output to match the capabilities of the monitor. If a monitor can display 1080p and the source can output 1080p, then 1080p will be used.

    Using The HD1600V2 Scenario 2 You have a dedicated Blu-ray player, but 3 hometheater receivers at different zones. The receivers have slightly different features, but you only need the audio features that all three support. Use the ESet screen to set the EDID of the Blu-ray’s source to include the three zones used by the hometheater receivers.

  • Page 22: Validating The Installation Of The Hd1600V2

    Using The HD1600V2 Validating the installation of the HD1600V2 After all sources and zones are connected, you should perform the following series of steps to verify everything is working ok, and to lock in the HDCP and EDID changes. These steps should only be done after using the ESet screen to make any EDID source changes.

  • Page 23: Tcp/Ip Overview

    RS-232 / TCP/IP Port Hardware RS-232 / TCP/IP Port Hardware TCP/IP Overview The Serial and TCP/IP port share the same protocol. The TCP/IP connection is a very simple socket, sometimes referred to as Raw TCP/IP socket, similar to Telnet, but without the Telnet protocol overhead. Most telnet clients will allow you to telnet into the HD1600V2 without error.

  • Page 25: Command Syntax

    Command Syntax Command Syntax Command Syntax The HD1600V2 serial command set uses an ASCII based protocol and a terminal emulator can be used to test the serial port of the HD1600V2. Each serial command is formatted as: ^CMD param1,param2,...$ Where: = All commands and responses start with the ‘^’...

  • Page 26: The Error Response

    Command Syntax The Error Response Every command will be followed by an acknowledgement or error response. If something is wrong with the command, you will get an error response. Which is ^!<error_number>$ which is the ‘!’ followed by an error number (in ASCII), followed the ‘$’ character. For instance ‘2’...

  • Page 27: Using Bitmapped Parameters

    Command Syntax Acknowledgement (the command has no errors) <- Query response indicating the power is on. ^=P 1$ <- Using Bitmapped Parameters Reading / Writing Bitmapped Parameters Some commands accept “Bitmapped” parameters. These are decimal values that represent a series of flags, or bits, that control, enable and/or disable different device operations.

  • Page 28: Reference For Basic Control Commands

    Basic Control Basic Control Reference for Basic Control Commands These commands are all that are needed for basic control of the HD1600V2 and includes power on/off, remapping sources to zones. This section also includes some helpful control options for changing the way serial commands behave.

  • Page 29: Basic Command Definitions

    Basic Control Basic Command Definitions ‘P’ Power Control Turn on / off, or toggle the power state of the HD1600V2: Turn off power if power is not locked on. ^P 0$ Turn on power. ^P 1$ Turn off power regardless of “locked” state. ^P 2$ Turn on power and lock it on -- only a “P 2”...

    Basic Control maps the input ‘2’ to the zones ‘1’ and ‘3’. You can also map multiple zones and inputs using a single command. For instance: ^SZ @1,2,@3,@5,7$ maps the input ‘2’ to zone ‘1’, and also maps the input ‘7’ to zones ‘3’ and ‘5’. By appending a ‘.’...
  • Page 31 Basic Control = One (or more) zones to be mapped. @zone = Source to map to given zone(s). = Channel bitmap. ‘HSZ’ Examples The ‘HSZ’ command in its simplest form: ^HSZ @1,@3,2$ maps the input ‘2’ to the zones ‘1’ and ‘3’. You can also map multiple zones and inputs using a single command.

  • Page 32: Mz' Mute (Disconnect) Zone(S) -- Spdif Audio Switch

    Basic Control ‘HSZ’ Query Examples To make parsing the response strings easier, only one response string is sent per zone. Or, in the case of channel breakaways, only one response string per channel is returned. The response string is sent as a fixed length string using leading zeroes.
  • Page 33 Basic Control This is the command used to mute, or disconnect a zone from any source. When audio is muted, the sound is turned off. When video is muted, video is turned off, leaving a black screen. (Or possibly blue screen, depending upon how your receiver acts when video has been turned off.) The different forms of the MZ command are: Mute all channels of a zone or zones.

  • Page 34: Hmz' Mute (Disconnect) Zone(S) -- Hdmi Switch

    Basic Control If you plan on using breakaway options consistently you, you can have the HD1600V2 always send the channel with the response string. This keeps you from having to parse two different types of strings. ‘MZ’ Query Examples Using the ‘XS’ command to set the ‘CHN’ bit, will cause the HD1600V2 to always include the chan- nel number.
  • Page 35 Basic Control By appending a ‘.’ and a channel bitmap to the ‘HMZ’ command, the command can also be used to mute individual channels. This is the proper way to mute an audio channel while allowing video to pass unobstructed. For instance to mute the HDMI audio sound, while leaving the video alone: ^HMZ.8 @1,1 mutes the digital and along audio on zone ‘1’.
  • Page 36 Basic Control Video on zone ‘4’ is not muted ^=HMZ.1 @004,0$ <- Audio on zone ‘4’ is muted ^=HMZ.8 @004,1$ <- You can also request the mapping of channels, for instance: ^HMZ.2 @4,? could return: HDMI audio on zone ‘4’ is muted ^HMZ.2 @004,1 <- only the HDMI audio channel’s status is returned.
