NOTE 13 - This is a request to identify the switcher/s in the system. If the OUTPUT is set as 0, and the INPUT is set as
1, 2, 5 or 7, the machine sends its name. The reply is the decimal value of the INPUT and OUTPUT. For example, for a
2216, the reply to the request to send the audio machine name would be (HEX codes):
7D
If the request for identification is sent with the INPUT set as 3 or 4, the appropriate machine sends its software version
number. Again, the reply would be the decimal value of the INPUT and OUTPUT - the INPUT representing the number
in front of the decimal point, and the OUTPUT representing the number after it. For example, for version 3.5, the reply to
the request to send the version number would be (HEX codes):
7D
If the OUTPUT is set as 1, then the ASCII coding of the lettering following the machine's name is sent. For example, for
the VS-7588YC, the reply to the request to send the first suffix would be (HEX codes):
7D
NOTE 14 - The number of inputs and outputs refers to the specific machine which is being addressed, not to the system.
For example, if six 16X16 matrices are configured to make a 48X32 system (48 inputs, 32 outputs), the reply to the HEX
code
3E
would be HEX codes
7E
ie. 16 outputs
NOTE 15 – When the OVR bit (4th byte) is set, then the "video" commands have universal meaning. For example,
instruction 1 (SWITCH VIDEO) causes all units (including audio, data, etc.) to switch. Similarly, if a machine is in
"FOLLOW" mode, it performs any "video" instruction.
NOTE 16 - The reply to the "REQUEST WHETHER PANEL IS LOCKED" is as in NOTE 4 above, except that here the
OUTPUT is assigned with the value 0 if the panel is unlocked, or 1 if it is locked.
NOTE 19 - After this instruction is sent, the unit will respond to the ASCII command set defined by the OUTPUT byte.
The ASCII command to operate with the HEX command set must be sent in order to return to working with HEX codes.
