Notes
Command format: [COMMAND] [DATA]; — space separated, must end with ;.
EDID changes trigger a soft-reboot; minimum 5 second delay before issuing next command after EDID set.
Response SB5688 01; indicates UNKNOWN Command.
ActiveSource returns 16-character bitstring (01=active, 00=inactive) — does not validate signal format.
Memory addresses 0x00-0x0F map to locations 1-16.

Known Gaps
- "number of inputs/outputs not explicitly stated; based on 16-memory-address system suggests 8x8"
- "no unsolicited event documentation found in source"
- "no explicit multi-step sequences documented in source"
- "no safety warnings or interlock procedures in source"
- "input/output port count not explicitly stated"
- "device model number in responses (SB5688) may indicate a different series ID"
