Channels; Dxlink Fiber Receiver Video Send_Commands - AMX DXLink Multi-Format SMF-D Instruction Manual

CHANNELs

Important: Before DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers can receive any NetLinx SEND_COMMANDs,
the DIP switch's #3 Toggle must be set to ON or the devices will not be accessible from a NetLinx control
system.
Note: Since not all devices support both upper and lower case, for best results all commands and parameters
should be sent in upper case.

DXLink Fiber Receiver Video SEND_COMMANDs

DXLink Fiber Receiver Video SEND_COMMANDs are sent to Port 6.
Note: Asynchronous notifications are not available for the Receivers via NetLinx Studio (and Telnet).
Video SEND_COMMANDs (Receivers)
Command
?VIDOUT_SCALE
Requests the current Scaling Mode

and BYPASS.
VIDOUT_SCALE
VIDOUT_SCALE
Scaling Modes
Sets the Scaling Mode on the Receiver
to AUTO (SmartScale
BYPASS.
?VIDOUT_RES_REF
Requests the resolution and refresh
rate of the video through the Receiver.
Note: If the Scaling Mode is set to
Bypass, the response will be
"BYPASS."
VIDOUT_RES_REF
Sets the resolution and refresh rate of
the video through the Receiver.
Important: The "valid responses"
values used must come from the
Resolution Names listed in the table in
