HD1600V2 Serial Protocol, Version 1.4, 10/30/13
Basic Control
If you plan on using breakaway options consistently you, you can have the HD1600V2 always send the
channel with the response string. This keeps you from having to parse two different types of strings.
‘MZ’ Query Examples
Using the ‘XS’ command to set the ‘CHN’ bit, will cause the HD1600V2 to always include the chan-
nel number. The following example demonstrates this:
^XS +4$ ->
Set the CHN bit
^+$ <-
Acknowledge ‘XS’ command
^=XS nnnnn$ <-
Indicates the new ‘XS’ settings
^MZ @1,?$ ->
Request mute settings for zone 1
^+$ <-
Acknowledge ‘MZ’ command
^=MZ.4 @1,0 <-
Audio of zone ‘1’ is not muted
By setting the ‘CHN’, even though all channels on zone ‘1’ are the same, the full channel bitmap is
still returned.
‘HMZ’ Mute (Disconnect) Zone(s) -- HDMI Switch
This is the command used to mute, or disconnect a zone from any source. When audio is muted, the
sound is turned off. When video is muted, video is turned off, leaving a black screen. (Or possibly blue
screen, depending upon how your receiver acts when video has been turned off.)
The different forms of the MZ command are:
^HMZ @
zone
,@
zone
,
mute
$
Mute all channels of a zone or zones.
^HMZ.
ch
@
zone
,
mute
$
Mute only the selected channels of zones.
^HMZ.
ch
@
zone
,+$
Toggle the mute setting of zones.
^HMZ ?$
In polled mode, reads current settings of all logged changes.
^HMZ @
zone
,?$
Read current settings of given zones.
^HMZ.
ch
@
zone
,?$
Read current settings of the selected channels of zones.
Response Strings:
^=HMZ @
zone
,
mute
$
or,
^=HMZ.
ch
@
zone
,
mute
$
Where:
@
zone
= One (or more) zones to be mapped.
mute
= Mute setting (0=Unmuted, 1=Muted).
ch = Channel bitmap.
‘HMZ’ Examples
The ‘HMZ’ command in its simplest form:
^HMZ @1,@3,1$
mutes all channels of the zones ‘1’ and ‘3’. You can also mute/unmute multiple zones using a single
command. For instance:
^HMZ @1,1,@3,@5,0$
mutes zone ‘1’, and unmutes zones ‘3’ and ‘5’.
