5.2 Serial Commands

Command: XC,n stands for Serial Connect

Connect serial interface to an output (n). If n is not specified, then it reports

which output the controller is connected to. “n” could be in the range of 1 to 99

Response: XC,n

This indicates that the command completed successfully
Command: XT Stands for Serial Transmit

This command should be followed by a string of characters to send. The user

has 1-5 seconds to enter any characters from 0x00 to 0xFF. The maximum

number of bytes being sent out can’t exceed 64.

The terminal characters indicating the end of string are 0x17 followed by 0x0D.

If the user has more than 64 bytes to send, they must use multiple commands.

Response: OK

It is recommended that the customer wait for the OK response prior to issuing

further commands. Neglecting to do so runs the risk of corrupting the internal

buffers.
Command: XR Stands for Serial Read

Get the contents of the receive FIFO. The unit can store upto 64 bytes in the

Receive FIFO. This commands

Response: x bytes or none in the FIFO
Command: XB,n Stands for Serial Baud

If n is not specified, it reports the current baud rate (n = 1-8 per table below)

Response: XBn
Command: XP,n Stands for Serial Parity

If n is not specified, it reports the current parity. n: (0 = None, 1=Odd, 2=Even)

Response: XP,n

NOTES:

“XB,n” and “XP,n” are global commands and will affect the setting for all

HDBaseT outputs. So if all the remote devices you are trying to control use the

same baud rate, you only need to issue the XB,n command once. Otherwise you

need to use the XB,n command prior to sending data to individual outputs
By Default power management is turned on in the UHBX-3S. This means that if

there is no video or no display connected (Hot Plug not active), the unit will put

the HDBaseT links in low power mode. This will significantly reduce power

consumption in both splitter and receiver. You can still send Serial commands at

all baud rates when the power management is active . However, it is possible to

get a single spurious extra “junk” byte at the beginning of your command as

N
