‘HSZ’ Examples
The ‘HSZ’ command in its simplest form:
^HSZ @1@3,2$
maps the source 2 to the zones 1 and 3. You can also map multiple zones and sources using a single
command. For instance:
^HSZ @1,2,@3,@4,7$
maps the source 2 to zone 1, and also maps the source 7 to zones 3 and 4.
By appending a ‘.’ and a channel bitmap to the ‘HSZ’ command, the command can also be used to
breakaway the different channels:
^HSZ.8 @1,3
maps only the HDMI audio from HDMI input 3 to zone 1. The HDMI video on zone 1, remains
unchanged.
The channel (the ‘.8’ in the above example) is a bitmapped number that indicates which channel or
channels are to be affected by the command.
The channels are mapped as:
1 = HDMI video
8 = HDMI audio
By adding together the above numbers, you can switch any combination of channels without affecting
the unselected channels.
For instance:
^HSZ.1 @3,4$
would map only the HDMI video from source 4 to zone 3. Audio would remain unchanged.
To map both the video and audio channels, add the HDMI video and HDMI audio channel numbers
together: 9 = 8 + 1, and use that as the channel number:
^HSZ.9 @2,@3,4$
This would map the HDMI video and HDMI audio channels from source ‘4’ to zones ‘2’ and ‘3’.
Which is the same as simply using: “
^HSZ @2@3,4$
”, without the channel.
There are two forms of the query response string, depending upon whether any channel breakaway
options are in affect.
