DXLINK
Sets the TX or RX to Extender Mode
(for a standalone, direct connection
from module to module) or Endpoint
Mode (for use in conjunction with a
switcher).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'DXLINK-<EXTENDER|ENDPOINT>'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRX,"'DXLINK-EXTENDER'"
?DXLINKIN_LINK_STATUS
Requests if an Endpoint is connected
to the DXLink Input Port.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'?DXLINKIN_LINK_STATUS'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dxTX,"'?DXLINKIN_LINK_STATUS'"
Returns a COMMAND string of the form:
DXLINKIN_LINK_STATUS-<DISCONNECTED|CONNECTED>
?DXLINKOUT_LINK_STATUS
Requests if an Endpoint is connected
to the DXLink Output Port.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'?DXLINKOUT_LINK_STATUS'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND dvRX,"'?DXLINKOUT_LINK_STATUS'"
Returns a COMMAND string of the form:
DXLINKOUT_LINK_STATUS-<DISCONNECTED|CONNECTED>
?DXLINKIN_QUALITY
Requests a value that represents the
quality of the signal between a
DXLink Input Port and an Endpoint.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'?DXLINKIN_QUALITY'"

DXLink cable quality is beyond the
threshold where overall performance
issues are likely to occur.
