as the entire command is less than 80 characters. A <cr> terminates the command. Below is an example describing a command. <cr> So the actual message would look like this: CON 2<cr> Command Request Syntax: This document uses the following notation when describing the syntax of a command request: BOLD – identifies the command lower case – identifies data to be entered which is described in the text following the syntax description " " ‐ entry defined within double quotes is to be entered exactly as shown < > ‐ entry defined within these brackets is required [ ] ‐ entry defined within these brackets is optional { } ‐ entry defined within curly brackets must be entered at least once | ‐ a vertical bar denotes a logical choice of entry ...
Acknowledging Receipt of Commands Each request sent to the switcher will have by default two possible responses, an acknowledgement of a correct request or an error response. The acknowledge response will be: Ok<cr><lf> Error Response It is inevitable that errors occur in the requests sent to the switcher. If an invalid command is sent to the switcher, the switcher will respond with the message "ERR: unknown command". If an invalid parameter is sent to the switcher, the switcher will respond with the message "ERR:" followed by the valid syntax for the errored entry. Example: A connect request with an incorrect input number: CON 3<cr> The error response would be: ERR: CON 3<cr> REQUEST LIST QUICK REFERENCE REQUEST DESCRIPTION ...
Connection Request The connection request is used to connect one of the two available inputs to the output. A connection may be disconnected by using the DIS command (see later in document). input | "?" <cr> Syntax: CON <input | "?"><cr> Where: CON Connection request header input Input number in the range 1‐2 "?" Request to return the currently selected input (the front panel LEDs reflect the currently selected input). (Note: A CON input command will override the disconnected output, ie via the DIS command. See below for description of DIS command.) Examples: To connect input 2 to output, the connection request would look like this: ...
Disconnect Request The disconnect request is used to disconnect (disable) the output of the switcher. <cr> Syntax: DIS<cr> Where: DIS Disconnect request header Example: To disconnect (disable) the output of the switcher, the user would send the following message: DIS<cr> HDCP Request The High‐bandwidth Digital Content Protection status request allows identification of the presence of HDCP on the input(s). The format for the HDCP request is as follows: HDCP <cr> Syntax: HDCP<cr> Where: HDCP High Definition Content Protection request header ...
Example: To query the HDCP status of the unit the user would send the following message: HDCP<cr> The response for the DV‐MFSW‐21A switcher could be: HDCP 1<cr><lf> That is, HDCP is present on input 1. The response for the DV‐HSW‐21A switcher could be: HDCP 01<cr><lf> That is, HDCP is not present on input 1 and HDCP is present on input 2. Model Request The MOD Model request allows identification of the model number of the switcher. The unit will return the current model identification, ie DV‐MFSW‐21A. The format for the model request is as follows: <cr> Syntax: MOD<cr> Where: MOD Model request header Example: To query the model number of the unit the user would send the following message: ...
Reconnect Request The REC request allows the user to reconnect the disconnected output to the currently selected input. Note that the input to be reconnected is as indicated by the input LED on the front panel. The command has no effect if an input is already connected to the output. <cr> Syntax: REC<cr> Where: REC Reconnect request header Example: To reconnect the previously connected input 2 to output, the user would send the following message: REC<cr> Status Request The STA request returns the presence of signal on the respective inputs, 1 = signal present, 0 = no signal present. <cr> Syntax: STA<cr> Where: STA Status request header Example: ...
would be: STA 10<cr><lf> If signal were not present on input 1 and present on input 2, the response from the switcher would be: STA 01<cr><lf> Version Request In order to be able to identify the current firmware version populated in the unit, the user may request using the VER request. The format for the request will be as follows: <cr> Syntax: VER<cr> Where: VER Version Request header Response form DV‐MFSW‐21A: VER DV‐MFSW‐21A <XX.xx> Response form DV‐HSW‐21A: VER DV‐HSW‐21A <XX.xx> Where: XX.xx XX = Major version number, xx = Minor version number Example: VER<cr> To which the DV‐MFSW‐21A switcher will respond: VER DV‐MFSW‐21A 01.09<cr> ...
