Switcher-initiated messages

When a local event such as a front panel operation or error

condition occurs, the switcher responds by sending a message to

the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below:
(c) Copyright 2008, Extron Electronics, SW4 3G HD-SDI, Vx.xx]
The switcher issues the copyright message when it first powers

on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number.
Inn]
The switcher sends the Inn message whenever the selected

input is changed using the front panel buttons. “n” is the input

number.

Error responses

When the switcher receives a valid SIS command, it executes

the command and sends a response to the host device. If

the switcher is unable to execute the command because the

command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the

switcher returns an error response to the host. The error

response codes are:
E01 – Invalid input channel number (out of range)
E06 – Invalid input channel change (auto-switch active)
E10 – Invalid command
E13 – Invalid parameter

Timeout

Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII

characters result in a timeout. The command operation is

aborted with no other indication.
