INTRODUCTION

This Blackbird™ device can be controlled by a computer using an RS-232 serial connection

and by issuing commands using RS-232 control software.

CONNECTION

This device includes four 3-pin Euroblock Terminal. Use one of these terminals to construct

an RS-232 cable, which can be used to connect your PC to the matrix or HDBaseT™

receivers to allow for RS-232 control. If your PC lacks a DB-9 serial port, you will need to

use a USB to Serial adapter cable (available separately P/N 3726).

The following images show how to create and connect an RS-232 cable. Refer to the full

User's Manual

for connection details.

RS-232 COMMANDS

The following guidelines apply to the RS-232 control commands.

1. The brackets [ and ] in the commands are for clarity purposes to make the variable

more obvious. Do not type these symbols when typing the commands.

2. Other than the brackets, type in all commands exactly as they appear, including any

spaces. These commands are case sensitive and require the trailing exclamation

point (!) as part of the command.

3. Disconnect all HDBaseT™ receivers from the matrix/transmitter prior to performing

any of the upgrade commands.
