Supported Alteia Protocol Commands and Messages

• Audio 3 commands (AU3)
• Audio 4 commands (AU4)
• Audio 5 commands (AU5)
• Audio 6 commands (AU6)
• Transport Stream output commands (TSO)
• NCP commands (NCP)
• Remote commands (REM)
• System commands (SYS)
• No PID Commands (NOP)

3.4

Receive Timeouts

No   timeout   is   applied   for   the  Alteia   protocol;   if   the   end   of   a   message   is   lost,   the 
message parsing state machine will be reset when the next message start sequence is 
detected and the old data automatically discarded.

3.5

Data Transmission

No mechanism is used to indicate when transmission is complete. 

3.5.1

Half duplex mode

The protocol is command/response, so no further commands should occur until the 
controller  has  received   the  previous  reply.   Attempts  to  send  more data  before the 
previous transmission is complete will result in the new transmission request being 
ignored.

3.5.2

Full duplex mode

Both the received messages and the reply messages of the executed commands are 
queued. So it’s 

allowed to occur

 

further messages

 while the previous command 

message is under procession. 
No command messages will be ignored.
