Getting zone 2 audio status
It is possible to request the currently selected zone source’s audio input in zone 2.
Command
!ZAUDIN?<CR>
is used to find out the used audio input of currently selected zone source.
The response for this command is
!ZAUDIN(X)<CR>
, where
X
is the current zone 2 audio input. See
table of audio inputs for the translation of the number to actual audio input. This response
is sent
automatically whenever input selection changes if feedback level is 1 or higher.
Controlling feedback level
It is possible to set the feedback level from the external control interface with command
!VERB(X)<CR>
, where
X
is the wanted feedback level 0, 1 or 2.
Controlling OSD and OSD menu
There are two On Screen Display menus in the P200 controller. The Installer menu is intended to be
used by the installer and that menu should not be offered to the end user. The user menu (titled
“Menu”) is intended for the daily use of the user. When using a well-designed control interface, it
should not be necessary for the user to access the OSD menu. It is, however, possible to access and
use both of these menus by using the control interface.
Command
!MENU<CR>
is used to enter the“user menu.
Command
!ENTER<CR>
does the same as the “Ok” button in the installer IR remote.
Commands
!DIRU<CR>
,
!DIRD<CR>
,
!DIRL<CR>
,
!DIRR<CR>
and
!BACK<CR>
have the same
effect as the similar buttons in the installer IR remote.
Please note that there is no way for the control interface to know whether the system is in OSD menu
or not. In normal operation there should be no need for the user to access the On Screen Menu when
using a dedicated control interface.
Direct controlling of HDMI outputs
It is possible to control the HDMI outputs of the P200 controller directly using special control interface
commands. The controlling allows routing of any HDMI input directly to either one of the HDMI
outputs in bypass mode. Bypass mode means that there is no On Screen Display possibility. These
commands are not available for the HDMI output currently used as the main ouput. For selecting what
is shown on the main output, please use the source-commands.
The commands
!HDMIOUT1(X)
,
!HDMIOUT2(X)
,
!HDMIOUT3(X)
,
!HDMIOUT4(X)
,
!HDMIOUT5(X)
are used for selecting which input is shown on each output, where X is the number of the input, see
the list of video inputs for the values.
