Installation and Setup
BCS Commands
To enter BCS commands, the system needs to be attached to a serial control device (see page 52) and
running a terminal emulation program (e.g., the Terminal view in DGX Configuration Software; see
page 173). The settings on the PC serial communication software and the enclosure must correspond to
each other (for setting information, see page 53).
Note: BCS tunneling over TCP/IP is also supported (see page 58).
When using a terminal emulation program, command characters are entered and sent to the enclosure's
CPU. The command characters appear on the screen when the enclosure responds. When all of the
entered characters appear, the command has been successfully executed.
Levels in BCS commands are the equivalent of virtual matrices for switching purposes. Level 0 (VM 0)
is the default level (virtual matrix).
To disconnect the factory default switch using a BCS command:
1.
Enter the following BCS command line:
DL0I1T
When the "T" appears, the factory default switch of Input 1 to all outputs on Level 0 is
disconnected.
To execute the test switch using a BCS command:
1.
Enter the following BCS command line:
CL0I1O2T
When the "T" appears, the test switch command routes Input 1 to Output 2 on Level 0.
If any other character(s) appear, the command was not successful. In that case, check to see if the source
signal is present (visible and/or audible) at the destination.
To disconnect the test switch using a BCS command:
1.
Enter the following BCS command line:
DL0I1O2T
When the "T" appears, the test switch is disconnected.
For a complete list of BCS commands and responses, see the Instruction Manual – BCS Basic Control
Structure Protocol at www.amx.com.
Test Switch Troubleshooting
Note: Normally the Enova DGX Switcher switches non-encrypted content without problems when
the display is non-HDCP compliant. Be aware that when non-encrypted content is being played on a
Blu-Ray player, most players pass the content on as though it was encrypted. Therefore, when a
Blu-Ray player sends originally non-encrypted content as encrypted content to an Enova and the
signal is switched to an output board (e.g., SC Optical Board) or a device that does not support
HDCP, the content will not display and the image will be dark red.
If the display is dark red:
If an HDCP protected source device is switched from an HDMI, DVI, or DXLink Board to an
SC Optical Board, the encrypted video will be blocked on the destination device and replaced with a
dark red screen due to an HDCP authentication failure.
