Turn off the Lattis front panel switch and plug the AC power adapter’s cable into the rear panel Power connector on the Lattis Matrix Switcher. -
Page 7: Remote Control
RC-16 Remote Control • The RC-16 Remote Control has four lighted "Mode" keys, which select one of four operating modes. Pressing a mode button will flash the light twice and change the "Current-Mode." When non-mode buttons are pressed on the remote, the appropriate mode light flashes to confirm the button press, as well as the Current-Mode in use. -
Page 8: Programming The System
Programming the System Setting each Zone’s Initial Volume Level (and maximum level) When you have the system running, you will likely wish to tailor each room’s initial volume level (the level to which it first turns on). You can also set the maximum volume of the amplifier at this point. •... - Page 9 Remote Control Setup Commands (shift-pause-x): Note: these ( Zone must be on and unmuted to change zone 1-90) shift-pause-1 Zone-Initial-Volume-To-Current (L/R levels) shift-pause-2 Zone-Mute-Volume-To-Current (left level) shift-pause-3 Zone-Min-Volume-To-Current (left level) shift-pause-4 Zone-Max-Volume-To-Current (left level) shift-pause-5 Zone-Previous-Volume-Flag-Off (zone turns on with programmed Initial Volume – normal) shift-pause-6 Zone-Previous-Volume-Flag-On (zone turns on at previous level, saved when zone last turned off) shift-pause-7...

Page 10: Audio/Video Operation
Audio/Video Operation For all operations below, change the RC-16 remote control to the desired zone, if needed. The remote also needs to be in a/v mode for the following operations: press the RC-16's a/v mode button to change to a/v mode (the button will flash twice). Note: the remote is automatically placed in a/v mode when you press certain buttons. - Page 11 Adjusting Zone Volume and Muting: • Press the RC-16’s Volume-Up/Down buttons, and release at desired volume level. Note: This will automatically place the remote in A/V mode. • Press the RC-16’s Mute button -- the zone volume lowers to the programmed Mute-Volume-Level for the zone. Pressing Mute again will restore original volume.
- Page 12 VauxProtocol Commands & Messages (RS-232 Control) Connection of a control system or computer to the Vaux switcher’s Control (RS-232) serial port allows you to fully control the system using a selection of “Commands,” and to obtain immediate or polled feedback on system status by listening to “Messages.”...
- Page 13 Send Commands, and Receive Messages You will likely only need to implement a handful of Commands/Messages in a typical application. In fact, the simplest application merely sends basic routing and volume Commands, and ignores any received Messages. The next level of complexity involves interpreting the Messages that are returned in response to control operations –...
- Page 14 A comma ',' is used to delimit parameter fields. An underscore character '_' may optionally be substituted for the comma delimiter. Commands are terminated with a carriage-return (CR) and/or line-feed (LF) character (CR = 0x0d = 13; LF = 0x0a = 10), to work with string terminations found in various programming environments: - linux/unix systems use LF (\n aka newline) - macintosh systems use CR (\r aka return)
- Page 15 Routing Commands & Messages: • For zone 0 (all zones), no messages are returned (multiple zones/switchers would be responding together). • A muted zone will be unmuted if route commands are received (except route-muted cmds). • Group commands apply to a group of up to eight consecutive zones, as defined in the command. Control-Write Cmd Description Command Status-Message...
- Page 16 Routing Notes: Note 1 -- Audio-only route commands (may use Zone-0) (*CW,11): - to audio-only switcher: route audio, update audio state, send audio mssg - to video-only switcher: ignore - to a/v switcher: route audio, update audio state, send audio mssg Note 2 -- Video-only route commands (may use Zone-0) (*CW,12): - to audio-only switcher: ignore...
- Page 17 Note 8 -- Routing audio using Route-At-Volume-Muted commands (*CW,16): 1) Routing a source when zone is currently off: - Routes and places zone in muted state, and unmute level will be specified volume level. 2) Routing a source when zone is currently on (NOTE: DOES NOT MUTE IF ZONE IS ON): - Routes at specified volume level (if source is the same, just updates volume).
- Page 18 Volume/Bass/Treble/Mute Commands & Messages: • Volume/bass/treble/mute commands will only affect zones that are not off (ie: zones that are on or muted). • A muted zone will be unmuted if volume adjustment commands are received. • Group commands apply to a group of up to eight consecutive zones, as defined in the command. Control-Write Cmd Description Command Status-Message...
- Page 19 zon is zone 1 to 255 (zone-0 not permitted) vvl is left volume level 0 to 35 (2-dB/increment) (see note 1, 7) vvr is right volume level 0 to 35 (2-dB/increment) (see note 1, 7) vol is volume (left and right) 0 to 35 (2-dB/increment) (see note 7) bas is bass level 0 to 8 (3-dB/increment) (see note 8)
- Page 20 Note 6 –Group-Volume/Mute commands (*CW,62/63/64/65/66/67/68/69): Volume levels are reported for each zone defined in the group. Group commands apply to a group of eight consecutive zones, as defined in the command by gbz and gzd. Parameter gbz is group-base-zone, and gzd is group-zone-definition, which define a group of up to eight zones.
- Page 21 Polling Commands & Messages: As defined above, Status-Message are sent automatically in response to Control-Write Commands, but system status may also be determined at any time by polling, using these optional Control-Read Commands. Applications that parse and process Status- Messages in real-time will not need these Commands, but applications can ignore Messages until periodic polling intervals, and then issue Polling Commands to update variables and displays.
- Page 22 Polling Notes: Note 1 – Read-Group Commands: The Read-Group commands will only return a message if the specified gbz parameter matches the programmed Base-Zone in the switcher configuration. Unlike the other group commands, these include all eight zones starting at gbz. The Read-Group Commands return 8 parameters, starting at Base-Zone (params for bzn, bzn+1…bzn+7).
- Page 23 Miscellaneous Status Messages: These miscellaneous Status Messages are returned for various system actions: Sensor-State-Change messages !S,180,sen,sst,0,0 <cr> sen is sensor-id; sst is new state VI input on I/O jack !S,180,1,sst,0,0 <cr> sst=0: VI=low, sst=1: VI=high Diagnostic messages (normally disabled) !S,190,dgc,opt,0,0 <cr> dgc is diagnostic-id;...
- Page 24 Configuration (Programming) Commands & Messages: In many applications, the factory settings are just right, but you may want to tweak some parameters, such as the Zone-Initial-Volume (zone-turn-on) levels. You can adjust zone settings using the *PW commands below – some of the zone configuration settings may also be adjusted using an RC-16 remote control.
- Page 25 The following are miscellaneous Program Commands: Program-Cmd Description Zone-Setup (note 10) *PW,40,zon,sid <cr> !C,9,zon,vll,vhh,vil,vir,vmm,mod,bas,trb,tud,tdd <cr> Restore-All-Factory-Settings *PW,254,0,0,1 <cr> !C,254,0,0 <cr> (Factory-Settings-Restored), and the front-panel light-bar will flash.

- Page 26 Configuration Notes: Note 1 – Zone Min/Max-Volume Levels Min-vol has priority over mute-vol and initial-vol, and is the absolute min volume zone will reach. If min-vol incorrectly set above max-vol, then min-vol will be presumed to be zero. Max-vol has priority over all other settings, and is the absolute max volume zone will reach.
- Page 27 Note 6 – Source Trim Levels A source may be attenuated up to 20-dB, if needed, so all sources sound similar in loudness when switching. ast 0 dB -14 dB -2 dB -16 dB -4 dB -18 dB -6 dB -20 dB -8 dB...
- Page 28 Note 9 – Temporary Configuration Flags: There are some flags that may be turned on to change aspects of the system – the power-up state for all flags is 0 (off). flg = 1 = Echo-Chars When on, RS-232 characters are echoed (for testing only) flg = 2 = Show-Diagnostic-Mssgs When on, diagnostic messages (!S,190 to !S,199) are enabled flg = 3 = Leading-Zeroes-in-Mssgs...
- Page 29 Remote-Control Equivalent Commands and Messages: Pressing buttons on Vaux remote controls or keypads initiates actions equivalent to the following VauxProtocol Commands. Since these actions result in the same Messages being sent (as they would for the equivalent Command), the control system must only parse one set of Messages.
- Page 30 Control Serial Port (EIA/RS-232) The Control Port is designed to connect directly to any control system or computer that has a standard RS-232 serial port. A cable (not supplied) is needed to connect the Control Port to the control system or computer serial port. The Control Port has a DB- 9-F (female) connector –...
