until all IDs have been transferred. See the LIST command 3X.11 for more

The Port Status command returns to the controller the status bytes specified for
the selected video port, preceded by the bit map.
The POSITION REQUEST query returns the current position 'timecode' or
time remaining within the ID which is currently playing on the selected port.
The selected port must be in PLAY, RECORD, CUED, OR STILL state or an
error will be logged. An error condition will result in the appropriate bit being

This command tells the controller whether the ID is currently in the 'get from
