OVERVIEW

The DV-HSW-21CEC is a 2x1 HDMI switcher supporting up to 4K x 2K @ 30Hz. The DV-MFSW-21CEC is a unique switcher and a must have for installations spanning new and legacy technology. This switcher has 1 HDMI input supporting resolutions up to 4K x 2K @ 30Hz and 1 VGA (HD-15) input supporting resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz. The HD-15 input is paired with a stereo audio input on a 3.5mm mini stereo connector. When selected, the analog video is converted to HDMI and the audio is embedded greatly simplifying connections and operations downstream. Both of the 2x1 switcher models feature 4-way control via simple front panel push buttons, screw terminal contact closures with LED feed-back, RS-232 serial control, and auto sense switching technology. In auto sense mode, the switcher will switch when the current video source being displayed is turned off either via keyboard function buttons or from signal loss. These options help in making these a perfect solution for any system.

CEC SUPPORT

The DV-HSW-21CEC and DV-MFSW-21CEC can automatically power-up displays that have CEC capability when a source is connected. They can also power the display off after the input signal is removed for 2 minutes. Most brands of displays need to have the CEC control enabled in the menu to allow this function to work, and of course not all displays support CEC.

Using this new CEC feature along with the auto-sense feature allows users to simply connect an input cable to a laptop or other source, and the unit will then switch to that input and turn the display on. Disconnecting the input will turn off the display after a 2-minute delay.

RS-232 SERIAL PROTOCOL

The DV-MFSW-21CEC and the DV-HSW-21CEC switcher may be configured or queried via the RS-232 serial connection.

Request/Response Format

All requests and responses will be entirely in ASCII. The requests can be in either upper or lower case.

All requests will have three characters command field followed by the data required for that specific request. All requests are terminated with a carriage return (0Dh), which will be referred to in this document as . All responses are terminated with a carriage return and a line feed (0Ah) which will be referred as .

Field Separators

Fields are separated by white space, that is any number of spaces or tabs as long as the entire command is less than 80 characters. A terminates the command. Below is an example describing a command.

CON

num

So the actual message would look like this:

CON 2<cr> 

Command Request Syntax:

This document uses the following notation when describing the syntax of a command request:

BOLD – identifies the command

lower case – identifies data to be entered which is described in the text following the syntax description

" " - entry defined within double quotes is to be entered exactly as shown
< > - entry defined within these brackets is required 

[ ] - entry defined within these brackets is optional 

{} - entry defined within curly brackets must be entered at least once | - a vertical bar denotes a logical choice of entry 

* - an asterisk following either [ ] brackets or curly brackets {} above denotes that data within either brackets or curly brackets may be entered multiple times. 

Acknowledging Receipt of Commands

Each request sent to the switcher will have by default two possible responses, an acknowledgement of a correct request or an error response. The acknowledge response will be:

Ok<cr><lf> 

Error Response

It is inevitable that errors occur in the requests sent to the switcher. If an invalid command is sent to the switcher, the switcher will respond with the message "ERR: unknown command". If an invalid parameter is sent to the switcher, the switcher will respond with the message "ERR:" followed by the valid syntax for the errored entry.

Example:

A connect request with an incorrect input number:

CON 3

The error response would be:

ERR: CON 3
