7.3. Crosspoint Operations
7.3.1. Switch an Input to an Output
Description: Switch input <in> to output <out>.
Format
Command {<in>@<out>}
Response (O<out²>●I<in²>)CrLf
Explanation 1: Input 1 is switched to output 1.
Format
Command {<in>@<out>}
Response (1LO<out²>)CrLf
Explanation 2: Input 2 to output 4 switch is not made because output 4 is locked.
INFO: The response for this command does not show if the output is muted. To check the mute status a
separate query has to be used like {VC}. See
INFO: To achieve multiple switches executed together, see the next section.
7.3.2. Switch an Input to All Outputs
Description: Switching a certain input to all outputs.
Format
Command {<in>@O}
Response (ALL●<O1>●<O2>●<O3>●<O4>●<O5>●
<O6>●<O7>●<O8>●)CrLf
Explanation: Input 1 is switched to all the outputs. <O1> - <O8> mean the output ports and the displayed two-
digit number (01 in the example) shows the port number of the currently switched input port.
Example
→ {1@1}
← (O01 I01)CrLf
Example
→ {2@4}
← (1LO04)CrLf
View Connections of all Outputs section.
Example
→ {1@O}
← (ALL 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 )

7.3.3. Batch Switch Outputs
Description: The matrix is able to switch multiple outputs exactly at the same time. To do this, the normal
switch commands have to be used. If the switch commands arrive at the router with less than 10 milliseconds
delay, then the router collects the commands and changes the output connections together.
Required circumstances:
▪ Switch commands have this format: {<in>@<out>}{<in>@<out>}
▪ The delay between two '}' characters must be below 10 milliseconds
No other command or junk character is allowed between switch commands
▪
▪ Affected outputs must not be locked
If any of the above circumstances fail, then the commands will be processed separately and the output
connections will change on by one.
ATTENTION! The delay timeout applies for the receiving time of characters. Please note that if LAN
connection is used then the network may cause additional delays. This could result that batch switching
does not occur.
Below example shows a command that resulted batch switching:
One by one commands
→ {02@01}
← (O01 I02)CrLf
→ {05@04}
← (O04 I05)CrLf
The below example shows a command that does not resulted batch switching because another command
has been inserted:
One by one commands
→ {02@01}
← (O01 I02)CrLf
→ {+06}
← (0MT06)CrLf
→ {05@04}
← (O04 I05)CrLf
INFO: The response does not show if batch switching happened or not. This assures that a third party
controller does not get unknown responses.
Batch commands
→ {02@01}{05@04}
← (O01 I02)CrLf
← (O04 I05)CrLf
Batch commands
→ {02@01}{+06}{05@04}
← (O01 I02)CrLf
→ (0MT06)CrLf
← (O04 I05)CrLf
