4.1.6. Status Sense Command
The argument byte for the status sense command indicates the starting byte of the status block, and
how many bytes are to be sent. The 8010-SIE requests the first three bytes of the status block as
follows:
61
20
The response that comes back from the VTR is: (sbn represents the nth byte of the status block)
74
20

LVS MODE - COMMUNICATING WITH A PROFILE DISK RECORDER
When the 8010-SIE is in the LVS mode, the serial remote control port is used to listen to a serial data
stream from the Profile disk recorder. The Profile sends status, LVS scene and CTL information out to
multiple devices that are connected in a 'daisy chain' to the Profile's serial port. In order to properly
address each of the 8010-SIE units connected, the Profile sends out an 'address' before each
command. The LVS ADDRESS menu item on the Engineering menu of the 8010-SIE must be set to
match the address that the Profile is using for a specific output. (See section 3.8.10 for further
information).
4.2.1. Data Format
The serial port receiver/driver allow communications in the RS-232C electrical standard. The serial
port operates at 9600 baud, 8 bits, and no parity.
4.2.2. Message Block Format
All command values, arguments and data values shown are expressed in hexadecimal
format unless otherwise noted.
Each message block starts with the ESC (1BH) and is structured as follows:
ESC
Unique character which indicates the start of a message block (0x1B hex)
ADDR
Address of the unit command is intended for. The address is sent as 2 ASCII characters.
The 8010-SIE will respond to addresses that match the "LVS ADDRESS" on the menu.
CMD
Command to be processed. The command is sent as 2 ASCII characters.
MESSAGE
Variable length string of ASCII characters. The content of the message is dependent on
the CMD.
