N

The same commands and data are transmitted to all

receivers through the DA's Optical 1 cables. Only the

master receiver can return commands and data to the DA

(via the Optical 2 cable).

N

Extron recommends disabling the Optical 2 output on

each non-master receiver using an SIS command. This

has the same affect as disconnecting the Optical 2 cable,

including disabling many of the adjustments available in

the receiver's menu system. Disabling these adjustments

avoids confusion and/or inconsistent settings among

receivers. Disabled adjustments include: total pixels,

phase, horizontal start, output sync format, audio gain and

attenuation, and auto image.

The "disable" SIS command (66*0*0#) can be input only

directly to the receiver; it cannot be input via the DA. If

you attempt to issue this SIS command to the DA, an E14

error code results. For this reason, the command is not

documented further in this manual.

The disable is cleared when the receiver experiences a

master reset.

Unit-initiated messages

When a local event, such as an error condition or a master

receiver front panel operation, occurs, the unit responds by

sending a message to the host. The unit-initiated messages are

listed below:
(c) COPYRIGHT 2007, EXTRON ELECTRONICS FOX 500 DA6,
Vx.xx, 60-863-xx]]
The connected unit issues the copyright message (above) when

it first powers on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number,

60-863-xx is the connected unit's part number.
Reconfig

The unit sends the Reconfig message whenever the video input

signal to the DA is changed.

X1^]

The unit sends the status message whenever a change in the

fiber link and video and audio connection occurs.

Front panel operations

N

All of the front panel operations described in this section

are prompted by actions performed on the master receiver.

The Optical 2 cable must be connected between the master

receiver and the DA output 1 for these messages to be

displayed.

Hph

X$]

The unit sends the Hph message whenever the output's

horizontal position is shifted from the master receiver's front

panel.
Vph

X$]

The unit sends the Vph message whenever the output's vertical

position is shifted from the master receiver's front panel.
Hst

X%]

The unit sends the Hst message whenever the output's

horizontal start is shifted from the master receiver's front panel.
