CMX44 driver \n
Supports independant audio and video switching.
CMX features not supported by this driver\n
Front panel and IR control will be locked out.
RS232 expansion port.
AVproxy does not support independant control of all signal types.
Component and composite video switch together.
All audio types switch together.\n
Driver setup PLEASE READ!\n
1. MUST use version 1.0 or higher CMX firmware (to support FP/IR lockout)
2. You must configure the digital audio input selection properties.
Coax/Toslink/or both for each input.
Coax = Coax input is converted to both outputs.
Toslink = Toslink input is converted to both outputs.
Both = Coax and Toslink are both routed to the outputs (no transcoding).
3. The Video, and Audio selection are READ ONLY states
4. Make sure you fully connect all the "connections" used to both inputs AND outputs for VIDEO
5. Make sure you fully connect all the "connections" used to both inputs AND outputs for AUDIO
6. C4 navigator does not understand digital audio conversion between coax and toslink
=> If using conversion, you may have to add a "bogus" connection to fool Nav
For example, if you are using COAX out but TOSLINK in, you may need to make a false connection
to add a toslink input (even though no physical cable is present)
7. You need to paste the following into the LUA command window (LUA tab), then click execute
ExecuteCommand("Configure_switch")
This will setup the CMX into the proper mode. This only needs to be done once.
8. You can also paste the following into in the LUA comman window, then click execute
ExecuteCommand("Read_status")
This will readback from the switch. Check the properties tab next and verify that
Readback config status = OK
9. If you want to save the current switch settings to flash as power on defaults, use this LUA command
sendrs232("CF7F\r")
sendrs232("CF7T\r")
10. The "Enable zone powerdown" property will automatically powerdown each output zone when not in use.
\n\n
Additional Commands\n
Read_status: This will poll the CMX to get the device status and update all properties.
Normally this is not needed since the FP and IR are locked, but can be a useful debug tool.
The Readback config status and Readback avsync status properties are set by this command.
They will transition from CurrentState => waiting => OK or ERROR or TIMEOUT.
OK means functioning properly. TIMEOUT means no response from CMX.
ERROR on config status means the device config is incorrect.
ERROR on avsync status probably means the FP/IR lockout was not engaged. \n
config_switch: You need to execute this action ONCE during setup to configure the switch in the correct mode from the driver. \n
