Example of DCP control
A V-Switch quad II is controlled via
DCP-XML by a computer connected
by serial cable.
For an introduction to the DEVICE CONTROL PROTOCOL please see page 71 in Annex.

in the same mode.
Every change in settings initiated in the first V-Switch
quad II by
Hotkeys
,
Hotmouse
,
Front panel buttons,
or
a controlling device
synchronizes the modes of all connected devices via
DCP messages.
Special serial Y cables are used for this purpose
(see example on page 70)
OSD - SYSTEM - CONTROL
Important:
Each time you restart a V-Switch quad II set to
synchronize
, it will send all its settings to the next
connected device. This process also takes place after activating
synchronize
in the OSD menu.
When starting a chain of devices, always start by
first
switching on the device
at the end of the chain
.
When the device has completed its startup phase and sent its DCP messages, switch on the next device
in the chain.
Finally, switch on the first device in the chain, which synchronizes the settings of all other devices in the
chain with its own settings as it starts up.
