Chapter 3 : OPERATING MODE
The device can be used in two different switching modes.
• The SEAMLESS MODE, allows switching seamlessly, fading* and titling* between the "reference" COMPUTER input
and the others inputs. These ones are scaled to the same format as the "reference" COMPUTER format.
NOTE:
NOTE:
The inputs, which can be used as the "reference" Computer input, are the Input # 1 and # 8.
The "reference" Computer is not scaled.
• The FAST SWITCHING MODE allows selecting an output format corresponding to your application. All video inputs
are scaled to the selected format. The switching between two inputs will go through a fade colored transition. The output
rate can be selected between 60 Hz, 75 Hz or can be synchronized onto one of the video input frame rate in order to
improve the motion picture. In this case, the output frame rate will be 50 Hz if the input is in PAL or SECAM, and 59.94
Hz if the input is in NTSC.
3-1. SETTINGS
c We recommend resetting the device to all of its default values, with the LCD menu (CONTROL > Default value
> yes) before proceeding.
d Select a switching mode with the LCD menu (SWITCHING > fast switching or seamless). Please see the
Switching mode table below.
e Select the Auto settings function with the LCD menu (INPUT > Auto settings). This function will detect
automatically the source type connected to the inputs of the device. Sometimes, the auto setting may not detect the
source type: in this case select manually the source type with the LCD menu (INPUT > Input type).
f If you have selected the fast switching mode: select one of the output formats with the LCD menu (OUTPUT >
output format).
NOTE
: For fixed pixels display device (DMD, LCD, PLASMA…), always select the output format corresponding
to the native resolution of your display device. Thus, the display device will not have to scale the image and
the result will be better.
NOTE:
In SEAMLESS mode, the output format is the same as the "reference" computer format.

APPENDIX A: PROGRAMMER'S GUIDE
A-1: INTRODUCTION
If you need to use your own Software Control program
from a PC or WORKSTATION with an RS-232 port, the
device allows communication through an ASCII code
protocol.
The device treats any character that it receives on the RS232 as a possible command but only accepts legal
commands. There is no starting/ending code needed in a
command string.
A command can be a single character typed on a keyboard
and does not require any special character before or after
it. (It is not necessary to press "ENTER" on the
keyboard). A command can be preceded by a value (See
chapter A-2).
When the device receives a valid command, it will
execute the command. Then it will send back the status of
the parameters that have changed due to this command.
If the command cannot be executed (value out of range,
no signal on the selected input), the device will just sends
back the current status of the corresponding parameters.
If the command is invalid, an error response will be
returned to the control device. All responses returned to
the control device end with a carriage return <CR> and a
line feed <LF> signaling the end of the response character
string (see chapter A-3).
A-2: COMMANDS STRUCTURE
ANNEXE A: GUIDE DE PROGRAMMATION
A-1: INTRODUCTION
Si vous souhaitez utiliser votre propre logiciel de
contrôle avec votre PC, MAC ou Station de Travail par
un port RS-232, l'appareil peut communiquer par
simple émission / réception de caractères ASCII.
L'appareil traite tous les caractères reçus sur son port
RS-232 comme des commandes possibles; seules
certaines commandes sont reconnues et acceptées.
Une commande est constituée d'un ou deux caractères
sans code de contrôle ni avant, ni après. Il n'est pas
nécessaire d'appuyer sur "ENTER" du clavier. Une
commande peut être précédée d'une valeur (voir
chapitre A-2).
Lorsque l'appareil reçoit une commande valide, il
exécute cette commande puis renvoie à l'appareil de
contrôle l'état de tous les paramètres qui ont été
modifiés suite à l'envoie de cette commande.
Si la commande n’est pas reconnue (valeur en dehors
de la plage, pas de signal sur l'entrée sélectionnée),
l'appareil renvoie uniquement les états des paramètres
correspondants.
Si la commande est invalide, une réponse d'erreur sera
retournée à l'appareil de contrôle. Toute réponse faite
à l’unité de contrôle se termine par un retour à la ligne
et par un saut de ligne (CR / LF) signalant la fin de la
commande de réponse. (Voir chapitre: A-3)
A-2: STRUCTURE D'UNE COMMANDE
.
Commands are usually composed of a numerical value
followed by the command character. The characters used
without any numerical value return the current setting of
the command.
Command = Value (optional) + Character.
Examples / Exemples:
Command / Commande
Value/ Valeur Character / Caractère
