or,
Where:
@
zone
= One (or more) zones to be mapped.
in
= Source to map to given zone(s).
‘SZ’ Examples
The ‘SZ’ command in its simplest form:
^SZ @1,2$
maps the source 2 to the zone 1, to source 2. You can also map multiple zones using a single command.
For instance:
^SZ @1,@3,@5,7$
maps the source 7 to zones 1, 3, and 5. The commas between the zones are optional:
^SZ @1@3@5,7$
is the same as the previous command.
You can also use the ‘:’ to define a range of zones:
^SZ @3:12,5$
this will set zone 3 through 12 to source 5.
‘SZ’ Query Examples
To make parsing the response strings easier, only one response string is sent per zone. Or, in the case of
channel breakaways, only one response string per channel is returned. The response string is sent as a
fixed length string using leading zeroes.
You can request the mapping of multiple zones, with one command, and still only one response string
per zone will be returned, for instance:
^SZ @1@3@4?
could return:
^+$
<-
Indicates no errors in the command
^=SZ @001,002$
<-
Source 2 mapped to zone 1
^=SZ @003,006$
<-
Source 6 mapped to zone 3
^=SZ @004,005$
<-
Source 5 mapped to zone 4
‘HSZ’ Set Zone(s) -- HDMI Switch
This is the command used to map HDMI sources to any number of HDMI zones on the Zektor Switch.
This command also allows breaking away the HDMI audio and video paths.
The zones for the HDMI switch are:
1-16
= Depending upon model.
The source numbers for the switch, depend upon the switch’s model number, and the Extended I/O set-
ting.
For a full listing of source numbers see: “
The Default (Native) Source Numbering
” on page 31, and
“
The Extended I/O mode
” on page 37.
The different forms of the ‘HSZ’ command are:
^HSZ @
zone
,@

,

Map all channels of an source, to a zone or zones.
