5.2 Reques t com mands Request commands can be sent from the RCS to the RCM or vice versa. The answer of a request com- mand does not include the status information. Command "R": Calling for Address Description: Request for an address. A RCS that is not provided with an address will send requests for an address at regular intervals. This [...]

Command "I": Calling for Information Description: This request is about the identity number of the device and the version of the firmware. Example: The message sent from the RCM to the RCS1 about the identity number is: Message <STX> <TYPE> <ADDRH> <ADDRL> <Body> <STATH> <STATL <CHKH> <CHKL&[...]

Command "a": interconnection digital input 2 to digital output 1 Description: Via the command a the RCM tells the RCS of class m to switch the signal of the second input ( DIGITAL IN 2 ) to the first digital output DIGITAL OUT 1 . The RCS executes the command and sends the acknowledge which informs via the status register about the auto s[...]

Command "t": interconnection digital input 1 to digital output 1 Description: Via this command the RCM tells the RCS of class m to switch the signal of the first input ( DIGITAL IN 1 ) to the first digital output DIGITAL OUT 1 . The RCS executes the command and sends the acknowledge which informs via the status register about the auto swi[...]

Command "b": interconnection digital input 2 to digital output 2 Description: Via this command the RCM tells the RCS of class m to switch the signal of the second in- put ( DIGITAL IN 2 ) to the second digital output DIGITAL OUT 2 . The RCS executes the command and sends the acknowledge which informs via the status register about the auto[...]

Command "s": interconnection digital input 1 to digital output 2 Description: Via this command the RCM tells the RCS of class m to switch the signal of the first input ( DIGITAL IN 1 ) to the second digital output DIGITAL OUT 2 . The RCS executes the command and sends the acknowledge which informs via the status register about the auto sw[...]

5.4 Enablin g / D isa bling auto switch The auto switch functionality allows H ERMES DXD to automatically connect an output to the other input if there is no longer a sync signal on the input previous connected to this output. This functionality pro- vides redundancy (inspite of a crash, there will be signal displayed on the projection modules), bu[...]

Command “k”: Disabling auto switch Description: Via this command the RCM tells the RCS of class m to disable auto switch The RCS executes the command and sends the acknowledge which informs via the status register about the auto switch status. Example: The command k is sent to the second RCS : Message <STX> <TYPE> <ADDRH> <[...]

5.4.1 Comma n d s referring to settings The connections of H ERMES DXD (which input is connected to which output) as well as the status of the auto switch functionality make up the settings of H ERMES DXD and can be saved and restored on the device. The native configuration (factory configuration) of H ERMES DXD is saved in the default settings . I[...]

Command “i”: save user settings Description: Via this command the RCM tells the RCS of class m to save the current configuration as user settings. These are the features to be saved: connection of DIGITAL OUTPUT 1 connection of DIGITAL OUTPUT 2 status of auto switch The RCS executes the command and sends the acknowledge which informs via the st[...]

Let's assume that the following routing is saved as user settings: DIGITAL OUTPUT 1 is connected to DIGITAL INPUT 2 DIGITAL OUTPUT 2 is connected to DIGITAL INPUT 1 Autoswitch enabled Let's further assume that there is a sync signal on DIGITAL INPUT 1 , and no sync signal on DIGITAL INPUT 2 . Therefore the actual configuration differs fro[...]

5.5 Readin g t he status register Although the information about the status register is sent back by the RCS as part of the acknowledge, it might be useful to ask it directly. Command “o”: read status register Description: Via this command the RCM tells the RCS of class m to read the status register. The RCS executes the command and sends the a[...]

5.6 Readin g t he product identification The entire product information "finger print" is saved in an EEPROM and can be read and evaluated. This information is a very useful diagnostic help for the Barco support technician. Command “v”: read product information Description: After having received this command, the RCS will send the des[...]

5.7 Error m e s s ages Three different kind of errors might occur:  The body is an invalid command  The checksum is not correct  The device cannot be addressed (it might be switched off…) The information sent back to the RCM about these errors does not include the status register Error Protocol "EP" Description: Via this answer[...]

Original message is sent back to the RCM Description: Via this answer the RCM recognizes that the desired RCS cannot be addressed (might be it has been switched off…) Example: The RCM has sent the following command: Message <STX> <TYPE> <ADDRH> <ADDRL> <Body> <STATH> <STATL <CHKH> <CHKL> <ETX&[...]

6 Broad c a s t addressing mode This chapter describes how all Remote Control Slaves of a class are addressed simultaneously.[...]

6.1 Structu r e of message The messages consists out of a RCS -independent and a RCS -dependent layer. The RCS -independent parts are interpreted the same by all types of devices. The RCS -dependent parts contain specific com- mands for a certain type of RCM : the message body. A message has the following structure: <STX> <TYPE> <ADD[...]

6.3 Comm a n ds for broadcast addressing In principle, all commands can be sent in broadcast addressing mode, however, some of the valid com- mands are not very useful to be sent to all of the RCS simultaneously. The following table lists the commands for reasonable broadcasting addressing. For H ERMES DXD it's the switching commands which are[...]
