USING RS-232 CONTROL (continued)
Command Mode: allows raw commands to be sent to the DVR 16x16 to
control its various functions without the use of a menu or prompt. This
mode is intended for advanced use only.
There are two types of commands that you can issue the DVR 16x16:
Commands with CHECKSUM <CHK> begin with //
Commands without CHECKSUM begin with \\
A. Sending commands with CHECKSUM:
1. To set a video crosspoint:
//FxxMyyIzz<CHK><CR>
Ex. to set video input 3 to output 12 on a router with the default frame
address “0” send the command: //F00M12I03<0x42>
2. To broadcast an input to all outputs:
//FxxBzz<CHK><CR>
Ex. to broadcast input 3 to all outputs, send the command:
//F00B0402
3. To set RS-232 crosspoint:
//FxxRyyIzz<CHK><CR>
4.To disconnect RS-232 crosspoint:
//FxxDyyIzz<CHK><CR>
*A new method is to disconnect all: //F00D
5. To set new frame address:
//FxxFnn<CHK><CR>
6. To query crosspoints from PC:
//FxxU<CHK><CR>
 If all outputs are connected to input 1 then a 4x4 Matrix will
respond with <0x80><0x80><0x80><0x80>
 The router will send back one byte for each output and the string
ends with a . The first byte sent is Out#1. In the example
above, since there are 5 bytes total, we know that there are 4 out-
puts.
 To calculate the input number, the router sends the input number
with the 7th bit set.
o 0x80 = “1000 0000” >> input 0
o 0x81 = “1000 0001” >> input 1
o …0x8F “1000 1111” >> input 15
