Page 8: Installation
Installation The Lattis Matrix Switcher is quite flexible, in that it can integrate with a variety of A/V devices and control systems, and may be configured a variety of ways. Installation of the Lattis System is described below: 1. System Power: Place the Lattis Matrix Switcher near your audio/video components. 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 9: Rc-16 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 10: 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. Note: The earlier RC-8-IR remote control may also be used to set this adjustment. -
Page 11: Remote Control Setup Commands (Shift-Pause-X)
Remote Control Setup Commands (shift-pause-x): Note: The earlier RC-8-IR remote control may also be used to set this adjustment. * shift-pause-1 Zone-Initial-Volume-To-Current zone 1-90, also ack/nak flash * shift-pause-2 Zone-Mute-Volume-To-Current zone 1-90, also ack/nak flash * shift-pause-3 Zone-Min-Volume-To-Current zone 1-90, also ack/nak flash * shift-pause-4 Zone-Max-Volume-To-Current zone 1-90, also ack/nak flash * shift-pause-5 Zone-Previous-Volume-Flag-Off... -
Page 12: 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). -
Page 13: Adjusting Zone Volume And Muting
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. -
Page 14: Vauxprotocol Commands & Messages (Rs-232)
VauxProtocol Commands & Messages (RS-232) Connection of a computer or control system to the VC-232 serial port allows you to fully control the system using a selection of Commands, and to obtain immediate feedback on system status by listening to Messages. This Command/Message language is called VauxProtocol. -
Page 15: Control-Command & Status-Message Summary
Control-Command & Status-Message Summary: • For zones 1 to 255, Status-Messages are sent in response to Control-Commands. • Many commands return the same status message – simplifying message parsing programming. • For zone 0 (all zones), no messages returned (multiple switchers would be responding together). •... - Page 16 Routing audio using Route-Audio-Muted command (*CW,14,zon,ssa): 1) Routing a source when zone is currently off: - Routes and places zone in muted state, and sets unmute volume to:. a) Normal (factory setting) unmute level uses programmed "Zone-Initial-Volume." b) Optionally, may configure unmute level to be "Previous" volume. (this was level when zone was last turned off) (the implementation actually updates Zone-Initial-Volume at every zone turn-off, then this route-muted command loads unmute levels from initial).

Page 20: Remote-Control Equivalent Commands And Messages
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. This means that the control system is always up-to-date on zone-routes, volume-levels, and other system parameters, reegardless of whether they were initiated by a VauxProtocol command, or by a remote/keypad button press. -
Page 21: Command/Message Parameter Notes (A/V Routing And Control)
Command/Message Parameter Notes (A/V Routing and Control): zon is zone 0 to 255 (0=all) (or 1 to 255, depending on command) (no !S mssg returned for zon=0 cmds) src is audio/video source 0 to 8 (0=off) (or 0 to 16, depending on controller) ssa is audio source 0 to 8 (0=off) (or 0 to 16, depending on controller) -
Page 22: Command/Message Parameter Notes (Switcher Configuration)
Command/Message Parameter Notes (Switcher Configuration): NOTE: Only connect to one switcher when programming swc/bzn (ie: disconnect RS-232 daisy-chain). The swc parameter is set to 91 (Separate-A/V-Switchers) when both an LE-1600A and LE-1600V are used together, on the same Base-Zone. Both switchers are then configured for swc=91. In this mode, the audio switcher handles all messages for both switchers (routes, etc), while the video switcher acts as a silent slave. -
Page 23: Command/Message Parameter Notes (Aris-Only Ir, X-10, And Macros)
NOTE: Min-Vol and Max-Vol should be set before setting Mute-Volume. Mute always acts upon both L&R channels, even though L&R volume levels may differ; balance is preserved when zone is unmuted. Mute-vol is a ceiling, not an absolute level. If mute-vol set above min-vol, zone volume levels may go below mute-vol level. -

Page 25: Vc-232 Serial Port (Eia/Rs-232)
VC-232 Serial Port (EIA/RS-232) The VC-232 Port is designed to connect directly to any computer or control system which has a standard RS-232 serial port. For the record, instead of RS-232 (RS stands for Recommended Standard), the proper term is actually EIA-232 or EIA/TIA-232 (for the standards bodies concerned). -
