INTRODUCTION
The HuddleVU system allows for multiple users to share and view their laptops, tablets, and smart phones
screens on a main display. Unlike conventional presentation systems, anyone participating can lead the
presentation at any given time at the push of a button. LED’s indicate which user is currently live and when
the system is busy.
HuddleVU creates the ideal environment for people to view and share ideas. The systems include all the
necessary video switching equipment, control hardware, display po wer control and color-coded captive HDMI
cables. It is a very simple yet effective system to quickly install and use.
There are two model styles available:
The HV-1000 single table box system employs a single FSR HV-T6 table box that allows 1 to
4 users to plug in and power their laptops or other input devices and simply push a button to
display their desktop information on the main display. Any user can switch to their own laptops,
tablets, and smartphones at any time simply by pushing their button on the T6 housing.
The individual HV systems accommodate from 3 to 7 users depending on the model. Each user
has their own FSR HV-T3 table box to plug into. Each table box contains a pullout HDMI cable
and an AC outlet. A single push of a button on each T3 is all that is needed to display the laptop
or iPad’s desktop information onto the main display. An HV-CTL Controller and up to two DVHSW-41 HDMI Switchers are included on all systems. The HV-CTL has a power switch, two
AC outlets to power the DV-HSW-41 HDMI Switchers and an additional AC outlet to power the
main display. The HV-CTL is the main termination point for the system components. When
four or less inputs are used the HV-CTL switching can be serially controlled by an external
control system.

OPERATION
Power up the system via the power switch located on the AC side of the HV-CTL Control Unit. The Green
LEDs on the Table Boxes (referred to as "TB" from this point on) will fl ash for approximately 3 seconds and
then turn off. The system is now in the IDLE state and is ready to accept switch inputs/presses from the table
boxes. Note that the monitor and HDMI switchers are not yet turned on and no switch inputs are honored
while the LEDs are fl ashing.
From the IDLE state, press any one of the available switches on any of the TB's to activate the system. The
monitor and HDMI switcher(s) will be immediately powered ON and all TB Green LEDs will fl ash for a
short time to indicate the system is powering up. Upon release of the selected switch, the selected switch’s
corresponding Green LED will fl ash at a fast rate for a short duration before turning steady green (to indicate
that particular selection was recognized). All other TB LEDs remain Red and the HDMI source from that
input is selected and is routed to the monitor. While the green LEDs of the selected input switch are fl ashing,
no other switch selections are honored. The unit is now in the ON state and is ready to accept additional
switch presses allowing the users to switch their source's program material to the monitor. (There is no
unconnected state for the HDMI switchers.)
Subsequent switch presses on any of the TB switches for less than 3 seconds will select that TB's source and
display it on the monitor. The Green LED will fl ash at a fast rate for a short duration to indicate the selection
was recognized, all other TB LEDs will go Red upon release of the switch. While the green LEDs of the
selected input switch are fl ashing, no other switch selections are honored. The unit remains in the ON state.
To return the system to the IDLE state: Press and hold any switch for a duration of greater than 3 seconds.
The monitor and HDMI switcher(s) will be switched OFF at the 3 second mark, all TB Red LEDs will fl ash
for a short time (approximately 3 seconds) and then all TB LEDs will be turned OFF indicating a return to the
IDLE state.

IT-SACWP SWITCHED WALL PLATE
The IT-SACWP wall plate provides convenient, remotely switched AC to power projectors, displays and
other AC powered devices via a low voltage hard wired control input. A great accessory to use with the
HuddleVU system.
The single gang, Decora style, 12 amp rated, switched AC outlet wires directly to a 15 amp branch circuit via
the input harness at the back of the unit. Connections to the branch circuit are made using the included wire
nuts.
The switching technology is relay based for reliable operation and minimal heat dissipation. Control
is accomplished via the fi xed 2 position screw terminal connector. A green LED is provided for visual
indication of the relay relay state. The unit requires a 12VDC @ 88mA input to operate the relay.
The unit includes 14 AWG solid wire 6" free length, (L, N, G) for AC input, wire nuts, white wall plate with
black AC outlet, LED relay state indicator and screw terminals for quick and easy control input wiring.

HUDDLEVU BEHAVIOR
Power up the system via the power switch located on the AC side of the HV-CTL Control Unit. The Green
LEDS on the Table Boxes (referred to as "TB" from this point on) will fl ash for approximately 3 seconds and
then turn off. The system is now in the IDLE state and is ready to accept switch inputs/presses from the table
boxes. Note that the monitor and HDMI switchers are not yet turned on and no switch inputs are honored
while the LEDs are fl ashing.
From the IDLE state, press any one of the available switches on any of the TB's to activate the system. The
monitor and HDMI Switcher(s) will be immediately powered ON and all TB Green LEDs will fl ash for a
short time to indicate the system is powering up. Upon release of the selected switch, the selected switch’s
corresponding Green LED will fl ash at a fast rate for a short duration before turning steady green (to indicate
that particular selection was recognized). All other TB LEDs remain Red and the HDMI source from that
input is selected and is routed to the monitor. While the green LEDs of the selected input switch are fl ashing,
no other switch selections are honored. The unit is now in the ON state and is ready to accept additional
switch presses allowing the users to switch their source's program material to the monitor. (There is no
unconnected state for the HDMI switchers.)
Subsequent switch presses on any of the TB switches for less than 3 seconds will select that TB's source and
display it on the monitor. The Green LED will fl ash at a fast rate for a short duration to indicate the selection
was recognized, all other TB LEDs will go Red upon release of the switch. While the green LEDs of the
selected input switch are fl ashing, no other switch selections are honored. The unit remains in the ON state.
To return the system to the IDLE state: Press and hold any switch for a duration of greater than 3 seconds.
The monitor and HDMI switcher(s) will be switched OFF at the 3 second mark, all TB Red LEDs will fl ash
Red for a short time (approximately 3 seconds) and then all TB LEDs will be turned off indicating a return to
the IDLE state.
LOCKING/UNLOCKING SWITCH INPUTS
The user may wish to lock a specifi ed switch input(s) from recognition. This may only be done via the
appropriate LOCK command issued via the serial interface available through User Serial Port 2. (See
command description below.)
Once a switch input is locked, the corresponding LED of locked input will fl ash RED for a short duration and
then go out signifying the switch input will no longer respond to presses. Any other switch inputs also locked
will also fl ash their corresponding LED RED in unison.
In the event the switch input that is locked is also the currently selected source input then the LED will
fl ash RED for a short duration as above but then return to the GREEN status, indicating the source remains
selected.
The user may restore switch input recognition of any locked input by issuing the UNLOCK command for the
specifi ed input. Any switch inputs remaining locked will fl ash RED for a short duration and the specifi ed
unlocked input’s LED will return to its lit status of RED, if not the currently selected input, or will remain
GREEN, indicating it remains as the currently selected source input.

The user may also LOCK or UNLOCK ALL inputs simultaneously.
POWERING THE MONITOR ON/OFF SERIALLY
The HV-CTL also allows the user to power the monitor ON/OFF via the serial interface (see command
description below).
The user may power the monitor ON via the serial PWR ON command. The behavior of the LEDs when the
monitor is powered ON or OFF is the same as that when it is powered on via the appropriate switch input
previously described. That is, when powered OFF, the HV-CTL LEDs will all fl ash RED for a short duration
and then all LEDs will be unlit, thereby indicating the monitor is powered OFF. When powered ON, the
HV-CTL LEDs will all fl ash GREEN for a short duration and then return to the status indicating the current
source input lit GREEN with all other inputs either RED or unlit (indicating the switch input is locked).

HUDDLE VU SERIAL COMMANDS
The HV-CTL supports a serial command interface that allows the user to confi gure the HV-CTL and to query
current status via User Serial Port 2. Some of the commands duplicate the functionality available via the
switch inputs, allowing the user to set the current source input and power the monitor ON or OFF. (See below
for a complete description of the available commands.)
HV-CTL REQUEST LIST QUICK REFERENCE
REQUESTDESCRIPTION
CONConnect specifi ed input to HDMI output.
HLPProvides help information for HV-CTL command set.
LOCKLock a specifi ed input from switch recognition.
PWRControls the state of the HV-CTL switched AC receptacles and AUX relay output.

REQUEST/RESPONSE FORMAT
All requests and responses are entirely in ASCII. The requests can be in either upper or lower case.
All requests/responses have a type fi eld followed by the data required for that specifi c request/response. All
requests are terminated with a carriage return (0Dh), which is referred to in this document as <cr> or with
a semi-colon character (;). The semi-colon permits the user to enter multiple commands in a single line of
ASCII text. All responses are terminated with a carriage return <cr> and a line feed (0Ah) which will be
referred as <lf> .
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 256 characters. A <cr> terminates the command. Below is an example describing a command.
EX 05 <cr>
So the actual message would look like this:
EX 05<cr>
COMMAND REQUEST SYNTAX:
This document uses the following notation when describing the syntax of a command request:
BOLD – identifi es the command
lower case – identifi es data to be entered which is described in the text following the syntax
description
" " - entry defi ned within double quotes is to be entered exactly as shown
< > - entry defi ned within these brackets is required
[ ] - entry defi ned within these brackets is optional
{ } - entry defi ned 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.
COMMAND REQUEST COMMENT FIELDS
The ASCII syntax of the request protocol accommodates the ability to optionally insert comments into the
Command Request. .Comments must be enclosed within the # character. The comments are ignored by the
Huddle-VU.
Example:
Below is an example of uncommented connection commands.
CON 1<cr>
LOCK 4<cr>
The above could have comments added as follows:
CON 1 # Laptop 1# <cr>
LOCK 4 #Limited access# <cr>
29
Huddle-VU
ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF COMMANDS
Each request sent to the HV-CTL have by default two possible responses, an acknowledgement of a correct
request or an error response. The acknowledge response will be:
Ok<cr> <lf>.
The HV-CTL may also be confi gured via command (see below) to suppress all responses. The user should
exercise care when confi guring no response as the user will obviously have no feedback as to the success of
the command.
ERROR RESPONSE
In the event an invalid command is sent to the HV-CTL, it will respond with the message "ERR: unknown
command". If an invalid parameter is sent to the HV-CTL, the unit 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 8<cr>
The error response would be:
ERR: CON <"1"|"2"|"3"|"4"|"5"|"6"|"7">|<"?"><cr>
Note that the returned error response may be expanded to a more detailed version by entering verbose mode.
This mode may be turned on by issuing a VRB Y command. The expected syntax for the command will be
returned, as above, and a description of each parameter.
For example, if verbose mode were turned on and the above command issued, the response would be:
ERR: CON <"1"|"2"|"3"|"4"|"5"|"6"|"7">|<"?"><cr>
Connect specifi ed program input
"1"|"2"|"3"|"4"|"5"|"6"|"7" Input to connect
"?" ? for inquiring currently confi gured source.
Huddle-VU
30
CONNECTION REQUEST
The CON request is used to connect an input to the monitor. Only one input can be connected at any one
time. The specifi ed input causes the HV-CTL to confi gure the 4x1 HDMI switchers appropriately.
CON<input_to_connect> | <"?"><cr>
Syntax:
CON < input_to_connect > | <"?"><cr>
Where:
CON Connection request header
input_to_connect = 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7.
"?" to query the current input setting.
Example:
To connect input 2 to the monitor:
CON 2<cr>
To query the currently connected input:
CON ?<cr>
31
Huddle-VU
HELP REQUEST
The user will be able to request a list of the valid commands with descriptions and formats. The format for
this request is as follows:
HLP[cmd]<cr>
HLP [cmd] <cr>
Syntax: HLP [cmd]<cr>
Where:
HLP Help Request header
cmd optional command identifi er
If the optional cmd is omitted, the HV-CTL will respond with the following text message:
CON Connect specifi ed input.
HLP Provides help information for HV-CTL command set.
LOCK Lock a specifi ed input from switch recognition.
PWR Controls the state of the HV-CTL switched AC receptacles and AUX relay output
RLY Controls the state of the HV-CTL switched AC receptacles and AUX relay output
RSP Request or decline a response.
SBR Confi gure serial bit rate of serial port 1 or 2.
STA Request status of currently connected input.
UNLOCK Unlock a specifi ed input for switch recognition.
VER Request current part # and version number.
VRB Turns on or off verbose command error reporting.
Entering HLP <cmd><cr>, where cmd is any valid HV-CTL command in the above list, will return specifi c
help syntax for the command requested. If the user would like more detailed help for a specifi c command
then it is necessary to turn on verbose mode using the VRB Y command syntax. This will enable returning a
description of the parameters of any specifi c command. The user may return to non-verbose mode by issuing
the VRB N command.
Specifi c command help is listed below.
CON <"1"|"2"|"3"|"4"|"5"|"6"|"7"> |<"?"><cr>
