Version 2.7, will work for firmware 2.7 or higher \n
CMX AVmode driver\n
Component and composite video switch together.
All audio types switch together.\n
If you need digital and analog audio to switch independently, please use the Advanced driver.\n
Driver setup PLEASE READ!\n
1. MUST use version 2.7.0 or higher CMX firmware
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, Audio selection and volume properties are READ ONLY states
4. The Max and Min volume limits should be configured to your preference (to avoid clipping)
5. To use volume control, connect the CMX room volume control to your volume endpoint
6. Make sure you fully connect all the "connections" used to both inputs AND outputs for VIDEO
7. Make sure you fully connect all the "connections" used to both inputs AND outputs for AUDIO
8. 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)
9. 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
10. If you want to save the current switch settings to flash as power on defaults, use this LUA command
This is RECOMMENDED if you are not using volume control (saves nominal volume as default).
sendrs232("CF7F\r")
sendrs232("CF7T\r")
11. The "Enable zone powerdown" property will automatically powerdown each output audio zone when not in use.
12. If desired, you can adjust the INPUT volume levels on the PROPERTIES page.
128 = Nominal volume (no adjustment)
196 = Volume boosted by 50%
64 = Volume attenuated by 50%
Make sure your output volume setting is nominal, and adjust each input volume setting so that each source
is roughly the same volume level.
13. C4 ramp speed sets how fast the Control4 ramp function executes (in ms)
14. Internal ramp speed sets how fast the CMX will move between volume levels. 3 is default, 0 slowest and 6 fastest.
\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
Save_state X: This will save the current input/output/volume settings to flash slot X. This useful for a
quick recall or doorbell/intercom mode.
Recall_state X: This will recall a previously saved state from flash slot X.
Send_serial: This will send a specified generic serial command.
