Modero G4 Touch Panels - Configuration & Programming Manual

NOTE:

While not necessary, creating video windows with width, height, and origin being multiples of 16 is a good practice. If the width

and height are not multiples of 16, video could be cropped asymmetrically by the boundaries of the button.

NOTE:

The MXA-MPL only supports 2-channel stereo audio over HDMI.

Notes On Using the ^SDM and ^SLT Commands

Based on the user’s pages, the touch panel receiving video from an MXA-MPL will initiate that video feed as necessary, based on the

button receiving the video. However, if you are changing video resolution or mode, using the

^SDM

^SLT

commands may be

necessary to start and stop the video. To do so:
1.

Use the

^SDM

command first, with an empty URL value to stop the video.

If this does not work, use

^SDM

with the URL value of "169.254.11.12:5700".

If neither of these options, work, then and only then use

^SLT

to start and stop the video.

In early firmware versions,

^SLT-1,start

and

^SLT-1,stop

were used to start and stop video coming from the MXA-MP. These

commands are still available but using them is not recommended, as the stream is started and stopped automatically when a

button that contains MXA-MPL video fill is displayed, and stopped when it is no longer in view. Showing/hiding the button state

containing MXA-MPL video (e.g. via page flip, popup hide, or button state change) is the recommended way to start and stop MXA-

MPL video. However, if it becomes necessary to stop video while the button is displayed on screen (for example, if resolution needs

to be changed), then the

^SDM

command should be used to start and stop the video.

If a button containing MXA-MPL video must be left on screen, try the following options:

SEND_COMMAND 10001:1:0,"'^SDM-10,1,'"

(stops MXA-MPL video)

SEND_COMMAND 10001:1:0,"'^SLT-1,videomode=hdmi,640x480p@30'"

(changes MXA-MPL video resolution to 640x480 with a frame rate of 30fps)

SEND_COMMAND 10001:1:0,"'^SDM-10,1,udp://169.254.11.12:5700'"

(restarts MXA-MPL streaming)

NOTE:

When using the MXA-MPL for displaying live motion streams, make sure to use the supported resolutions with the video input

type. While the MXA-MPL is capable of supporting up to 60 Hz, the Modero X panels that use MXA-MPL only support 25-30 Hz.

Streaming Video, MXA-MP/MPL Commands

^SLT

(Cont.)

^SLT-1,videoinput=<on|off>

Note: It is highly recommended that the ^SDM commands be used to start and stop video from the MXA-MPL rather than the

commands below. The SDM command will issue the start/stop to the MXA-MPL, as well as starting/stopping the decoding side on

the panel. The "audiovideoenable" command above can be used to set the audio/video option that will be invoked in the

processing of the ^SDM command.

MXA-MPL Start stream. Tells the MXA-MPL to start streaming video or both audio and video (default=video, or the mode set by

the "audiovideoenable" subcommand above).

^SLT-1,start=<video,both>

MXA-MPL Stop stream. Tells the Breakout Box to stop streaming.

^SLT-1,stop

Query the value of any status field reported by the MXA-MP/L, such as version, serialNo, macAddress, inputInfo, streamInfo,

type. Response is a custom event as follows:

       CUSTOM.TYPE = EVENTID = 770
       CUSTOM.ID = ADDRESS = 0
       CUSTOM.FLAG = 0
       CUSTOM.VALUE1 = Message ID (echoed 'id' value from query)
       CUSTOM.VALUE2 = 0
       CUSTOM.VALUE3 = 0
       CUSTOM.TEXT = Value of the status field specified by 'statusField' in the query

?SLT-1,querystatus=<statusField>,[id]
