Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands
The EDID 101H 4K PLUS is remotely set up and controlled using Extron SIS commands
issued from a host computer or other device, such as a control system. SIS commands are
issued from the connected computer to the front panel
Config port (see Connecting to
the USB Port on page 21) to connect to this port).
Host-to-device Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. You can enter these commands from your
computer using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer. When
the device determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a
response to the host device.
Most responses from the EDID 101H 4K PLUS to the host computer end with a carriage
return and a line feed (CR/LF =
]
), which signals the end of the response character string.
A string is one or more characters.
Device-initiated Messages
When a local event such as a change in input signal or HDCP status, or a change in the
EDID assignment (changing the front panel rotary switch) takes place, the device responds
by sending a message to the host, indicating the change. No response is required from the
host.
Error Responses
If the device is unable to execute a command it receives because the command is invalid or
contains invalid parameters, the device returns an error response to the host. The following
error response codes can be sent:
E10 – Invalid command
E13 – Invalid value (out of range)
E14 – Not valid for this configuration
E17 – Invalid command for signal type
