Serial Protocol Descriptions

Model 300 Compatible Protocol

Performer may be used as a Model 300 Production Switcher
peripheral. This protocol allows the Performer to reply to status
requests from the 300 and to execute video and audio selections
received from the (E-MEM) 300.

The Status Query command line is as follows:

Receive:

111XXX00

(XXX=Performer Poll Address, S2).

Send:

110XXX00

(XXX=Performer Poll Address).

0000VVVV (VVVV=video crosspoint 0-10, 0=no

source).

11112222

(1111=audio 1 crosspoint 0-10, 0=no
source).

11112222

(2222=audio 2 crosspoint 1-10, 0=no
source).

10100101

(Validity Code).

The Recall (Take) command line is as follows:

Receive:

110XXX00

(XXX=Performer Poll Address, S2).

0000VVVV (VVVV=video crosspoint).
11112222

(1111=audio 1 crosspoint).

11112222

(2222=audio 2 crosspoint).

10100101

(Validity Code).

Send:

(nothing)

If the address, XXX, is different than the Performer address at
Switch S1, the command is ignored.

When a Status Query command is received, any crosspoint that
has a source of 0 is set to source 1 and audio crosspoint 2 is set to
be the same as audio crosspoint 1.

If a BREAK occurs, this purges any incomplete command and
begins a new command line. If any command is received in error
(wrong bit patterns), protocol error is called and the command is
ignored.

If a byte whose upper two bits are 11 is received when such a byte
is not expected, protocol error is called, any incomplete command
ignored, and the new byte honored as the beginning of a new
command.
