MATRIX SWITCHERS

16

where mm is the current input connected to the
specified output.

For example, the [IXXO02] command can
return 04 indicating that input #4 is currently
connected to output #2. [IXXO03] can return
00, which means that nothing is currently
connected to output #3.

[SW] 

- Switch

The switch command immediately connects
inputs and outputs simultaneously which are
previously set with the path command.

This command initiates the switching sequence
of the 

[IxxOmmP]

 or 

[IxxOmmUnP]

commands.

[SAVnn] 

- Save Memory.

nn

= memory to save 00-16

The

 HOMERUN

 Switcher contains 16

memories. Each memory is capable of storing
one preset (scenes or salvos). The preset
(scenes or salvos) can consist of a group of
connections between different inputs and
outputs. These memories can be saved using
the Front panel, a remote control panel or
through RS-232 commands. For example,
[SAV12] command will save current input to
output connections in memory space #12.

[RCLnn]

 - Recall Memory.

nn

= memory to recall 00-16

The

 HOMERUN

 Switcher is capable of storing

one preset (scene or salvo) per each of 16
memory locations. The preset (scene or salvo)
consists of a group of connections between
different inputs and outputs. The preset of
connections stored in each memory can be
recalled using the front panel, a remote control
panel, or through RS-232 commands.

7.3 FRONT PANEL OPERATION

CP-01 HOMERUN Front Panel (OPTIONAL)

CONTROL OPERATION

Connect any input to any output

:

Press the desired input, 1 through 16. The input
LED will flash slowly. The LED on the outputs
that are already connected to the selected input
will flash quickly. The outputs that are not
connected to the selected input will have LED
OFF. Press the desired output 1 through 16.
Input and output LED’s will remain ON showing
the current connections.

Input to output order must always be followed.
First, press the input button and then press the
output button. If the unit has only 8 outputs
installed, the output buttons above 8 will not be
operational.

Disconnect any input from any output

:

Press the desired input button on the front panel.
The outputs that are connected to this input will
have its LED flashing quickly, so select the
desired output that should be disconnected and
press that output button.

Save current configuration

Press any input button, 1 through 16, and hold it
for 2 seconds to save current input to output
connections into any of the 16 memory locations
of the 

HOMERUN

 Matrix Switcher.

The unit will beep and the switcher status
(current input to output connections) will be
saved. Memory #1 is always recalled during
power-up or during the reset. This sequence only
saves the configuration of the switches. It does
not save any system variables like baud rate,
Unit ID number, etc.

Recall saved memory:

When the RECALL button is pressed, all input
LED’s will flash quickly, indicating that an action
is required from the operator. Press INPUT 1
through INPUT 16 to recall a selected memory
location, 1 through 16.

Pressing 1 will make the input to output
connections the same as during Power ON.

One button operation of the recall function:
