Variables

# No continuous/settable parameters beyond discrete actions identified in source.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: no unsolicited notification events documented in source; all responses appear to be command-reply only

Macros

# Preset save/restore is covered under Actions (save_preset, restore_preset). No multi-step sequences described beyond that.

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: no safety warnings or interlock procedures found in source

Notes

  • All commands are case insensitive and must be terminated with <CR><LF>.
  • The device supports both RS-232 serial and Telnet (TCP) control with the same command set.
  • Video routing uses inputs in1–in8 and outputs out1–out8; in0 means power down the output.
  • Audio routing uses hdmi or arc as input sources and audioout1–audioout8 as outputs.
  • EDID preset values 1–8 copy from HDMI outputs; values 9–27 are fixed EDID tables with various resolution/audio/HDR combinations.
  • EDID preset values 21–27 are mentioned in parameter lists but not fully enumerated in the source (only values up to 20 are described in detail in some tables).
  • Three preset scene slots (1, 2, 3) for saving/restoring routing configurations.
  • CEC auto power-off delay default is 2 minutes, max 30 minutes; 0 = immediate.
  • Output HDCP follow mode mirrors the source's HDCP version automatically.
