• Hold the HDMI audio switch up until the LED lights (about 1 second) to enable embedded audio on the associated HDMI connector.
• Hold the HDMI audio switch down (until the LED turns off (about 1 second) to disable embedded audio on the associated HDMI connector.

The switch returns to the middle position after it has been released so the device can continue to be controlled through SIS commands.

EDID

The XTP FT HD 4K can record and save EDID in a user memory location on the transmitter. EDID can come from the loop-through display on the transmitter. For EDID management, use the XTP System Configuration Software (see EDID Minder on page 26).

NOTE: In matrix applications, EDID on the transmitter is assigned by the matrix switcher using the XTP System Configuration Software.

Audio Output Overview

By default, the XTP FT HD 4K prioritizes embedded digital audio over analog audio to send over the XTP communication. Use SIS commands (see SIS Configuration and Control on page 13) or the XTP System Configuration Software (see Configuration Software on page 18) to manually select the audio input.

NOTES:

• To pass analog audio without video to a display connected to the HDMI output connector on a connected receiver, the transmitter sends a black video signal to simulate one of the following video signals:
• 720p @ 50 Hz
• 720p @ 60 Hz (default)
  • 1080p @ 60 Hz
• To set the black video signal, see the Black video signal SIS commands on page 15 or Transmitter device settings on page 24.

SIS Configuration and Control

This section contains SIS communication details and SIS commands and responses when the host device is connected directly to an XTP FT HD 4K. Topics in this section include the following:

• Host Device Connection
  • SIS Overview
  • Command and Response Table

Host Device Connection

Use a connected computer running the Extron DataViewer utility to send and receive SIS commands and responses. To connect directly to an XTP FT HD 4K, connect the computer to the front panel USB configuration connector (see figure 7, B on page 10).

SIS Overview

Host and Device Communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the XTP FT HD 4K determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the transmitter to the host device end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ←), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Error Responses

If the transmitter determines a command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host. The following error codes may apply to either device:

$$ E 0 1 = \text { Invalid input number } \quad E 1 4 = \text { Not valid for this configuration } $$

$$ E 1 \emptyset = \text { Invalid command } E 1 7 = \text { Invalid command for signal type } $$

$$ E 1 2 = \text { Invalid port number } E 2 2 = \text { Busy } $$

$$ E 1 3 = \text { Invalid parameter } $$

Using the Command and Response Tables for SIS Commands

The command and response tables for SIS commands list the commands that the transmitter recognizes as valid, the responses returned to the host, a description of the command function or results of executing the command, and some examples of commands in ASCII.

NOTE: Uppercase and lowercase text are interchangeable unless otherwise stated.

Symbol Definitions

The table below shows the hexadecimal equivalent of ASCII characters used in the command and response tables. Hexadecimal values contain two digits. The following symbols are commonly used throughout the command and response tables.
