To route both video and audio from different inputs, send an eight-byte
command in the form:
Bxxyyzz(ENTER)
where xx is an output number and yy is a video input number and zz is an audio
input number. For example, B010203 sends video from input 2 to output 1 and audio
from input 3 to output 1.
A crosspoint can be turned OFF by routing it to input zero; e.g. B0100 turns off
the video and audio to output 1.
3.4.2 SENDING A SALVO COMMAND
It is possible to send the same input to a number of sequential outputs by a
single eight-byte command of the form:
Xmmnnoo(ENTER)
where mm is the first output number, nn is the last output number, and 00 is the
input number.
Using X as the first byte sends both video and audio to the range of outputs,
using Y sends video only, and using Z sends audio only.
For example, Y010408 sends the audio from input 8 to outputs 1 through 4.
3.4.3 SENDING A STRING OF COMMANDS TO BE
EXECUTED AT THE SAME TIME
It is possible to send a set of commands to the routing switcher that will be held
until the final command is received, then all the commands are executed at the same
time. For all but the final command in the set use the form:
Exxyy(ENTER),
where xx is the output number and yy is the input number.
Using E as the first byte sends both video and audio from input yy to output xx,
using F sends video only, and using G sends audio only. The final command in the
set must start with the letter B, V, or A instead of E, F, or G. This final command
causes all the previous commands to TAKE. You may also cause a TAKE by sending
the three-byte command EE(ENTER).
For example, the following commands sent over a period of time:
E0101(ENTER),E0202(ENTER),E0303(ENTER),B0404(ENTER)
will result in connecting input 1 to output 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, and 4 to 4 when the last
(ENTER) is received.
3.4.4 USING CONFERENCE MODE TO CROSS-CONNECT AN INPUT
AND AN OUTPUT
It is possible to send a single command to cross-connect an input and an
output; for example, to connect input 1 to output 4 and input 4 to output 1. This is
useful in teleconferencing and similar applications. To cross-connect both video
and audio, send a six-byte command in the form:
Jxxyy(ENTER)
where xx is an output number and yy is an input number. Adding two more bytes at
the end
Jxxyyzz(ENTER)
will cross-connect the audio as well, such that video xx and yy are cross-connected,
