Panasonic AV-HSW10 Control Spec

Summary

The Panasonic AV-HSW10 is a Compact Live Switcher controllable over TCP and UDP via a custom text-based protocol. Commands use <STX>/<ETX> delimited strings with colon-separated parameters. TCP is used for control commands and queries; UDP carries unsolicited status update notifications (bus selection changes) and TSL Protocol 5.0 tally/name data. Up to 20 simultaneous TCP connections are supported.

Transport

protocols:
  - tcp
  - udp
addressing:
  port: 62000
  base_url: null  # N/A - direct TCP socket, not HTTP
  notes: >
    Factory-default TCP receive port 62000, UDP destination port 65000.
    Both changeable from device MENU. Factory-default IP 192.168.0.8,
    subnet 255.255.255.0.
udp:
  destination_port: 65000
  notes: >
    UDP used for unsolicited update notifications (ABSC command, sent 3x
    at 16 ms intervals on change) and TSL Protocol 5.0 tally/name data.
auth:
  type: none  # inferred: no auth procedure in source

Traits

traits:
  - routable    # inferred: crosspoint/bus switching commands (SBUS, QBSC)
  - queryable   # inferred: multiple query commands (QBSC, QBST, QSNM, QKRS, QTIM, QBTI, QPAT, QPNP)
  - levelable   # inferred: transition time, PinP size/position/border parameters

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no multi-step macro sequences described in source

Safety

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

Notes

• Command format: <STX> (0x02) + 4-char command + colon-separated parameters + <ETX> (0x03).
• Minimum command interval: 16 ms. Sending faster may cause errors.
• TCP connections timeout after 20 seconds of inactivity (no command sent within 20 s of the previous one).
• Maximum 20 simultaneous TCP connections.
• Factory-default IP: 192.168.0.8, subnet: 255.255.255.0. All network settings changeable from device MENU.
• Factory-default TCP port: 62000, UDP destination port: 65000 — both changeable from MENU.
• Setting IN1 source name changes both SDI IN1 and HDMI IN1 names simultaneously.
• ABSC over UDP is the only documented unsolicited notification (besides TSL 5.0 tally data).
• For KEY2 and FTB transitions, MIX is always used even if WIPE is specified.
• TSL 5.0 uses binary encoding (little-endian), distinct from the text-based TCP/UDP command protocol.
