    1. Introduction 1.1. Overview ..............The smartCUE interface is equipped with four serial or IR channels and allows control of devices that are equipped with infrared, RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial channels. A MIDI version is also available. The soundCUE is a fi ve-input / two-output audio matrix switcher capable of switching four stereo unbalanced line inputs and one mono microphone input to two independently switched outputs.

    5. smartCUE 5.1. Overview ..............The smartCUE interface is equipped with (4) serial (50 to 115 200 bps) or IR channels and allows control of devices that are equipped with infrared, RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial channels. It is possible to combine IR and serial control on the channel level that means for example Channel A for IR control, Channels B to D for serial control.
  • Page 11 The IR codes are in fact rather long (for example in comparison with serial string commands). The typical time duration is about 0.5 sec. During the time of transmitting of the IR code the smartCUE can not accept further requests to send another IR codes. So please let enough time after each IR command before requesting to send another one from the same smartCUE.
