    Section Operation and Maintenance Introduction The Performer-HD will select any one of the ten input sources for output on its single destination. Protects can be set so that the current selection is locked and prevented from accidental change. It is possible to control a Performer-HD from a 110 Production Switcher, or from an RS232 or RS422-compatible terminal or computer.

  • Page 40: Serial Protocol Descriptions

    Section 3 — Operation and Maintenance Serial Protocol Descriptions Performer-HD supports several serial communications protocols. Switches inside the Performer-HD frame must be properly set depending upon which protocol you will be using. The following pages provide examples of messages in the various proto- cols and describe any operational conditions which must be met when us- ing a production switcher protocol.

  • Page 42: Performer-Hd Ascii Protocol

    If the <Adr Hi> <Adr Lo> value is different from the value set at Per- former-HD switch S1, the command and all subsequent characters are ig- nored by the Performer-HD until a new message is initiated using a carriage return. The carriage return purges previously received data, and must start each command line.

  • Page 43: Command Strings

    Except for the S command, all of the above are sent by the controller to the Performer-HD. The S command is sent by Performer-HD to the controller in response to a Q (Query for status) command. Performer-HD generates a response to the Q command only.
