REMOTE Command Reference
For more information on transmission settings, refer to About the
REMOTE Connector (p. 44).
Overview of Commands
A command consists of an ASCII code sequence containing "stx,"
three uppercase letters of the alphabet, and a semicolon (";"). The
three letters of the alphabet indicate the command type. If the
command has an argument, a colon (":") is inserted between the two
letters of the alphabet and the argument. When multiple arguments
occur, they are separated by commas (",").
"stx" This is the ASCII code signal name (code number 02H
[hexadecimal]) and code that signals the command start.
":" This is the code used by the Presenter to separate the
command and its arguments.
";" This is the code used by the Presenter to signify the end of a
command.
Example 1) When transmitting the A-BUS channel select command -
> the ASCII code string stxSIA; is transmitted.
Example 2) When setting the SD section P in P horizontal placement
at 50%, vertical placement at 25%, and size at 50% -> the ASCII code
string stxSPI:50,70,95; is transmitted.
Commands Transmitted from
External Devices to the V-440HD
In the following, stx(02H), ACK(06H), and Xon(11H)/Xoff(13H) are
control codes.
SIA
A-BUS Channel Select
stxSIA:a;
a: Channel number (0: SD IN Channel 1, 1: SD IN Channel 2, 2: SD IN
Channel 3, 3: SD IN Channel 4)
This selects the A-BUS channels.
ACK is returned by the V-440HD upon proper reception of the
command.
SIB
B-BUS Channel Select
stxSIB:a;
a: Channel number (0: SD IN Channel 1, 1: SD IN Channel 2, 2: SD IN
Channel 3, 3: SD IN Channel 4)
This selects the B-BUS channels.
ACK is returned by the V-440HD upon proper reception of the
command.
STB
Video Fader (SD) Position
stxSTB:a;
a: Video fader (SD) position (0-255, 0: A-BUS, 255: B-BUS)
This sets the video fader (SD) position.
ACK is returned by the V-440HD upon proper reception of the
command.
STM TIME Knob (SD) Setting
stxSTM:a;
a: Time (0.0-4.0)
ACK is returned by the V-440HD upon proper reception of the
command.
SAT AUTO Button (SD) Setting
stxSAT:a;
a: Time (0.0-4.0)
This switches the A-BUS and B-BUS over the time set with the
number.
ACK is returned by the V-440HD upon proper reception of the
command.
STR TRANSITION Button (SD) Select
stxSTR:a;
a: TRANSITION button (SD) number (0:CUT, 1: MIX 2:WIPE 1, 3:
WIPE 2, 4: WIPE 3, 5: WIPE 4, 6: WIPE 5, 7: WIPE 6)
This selects the TRANSITION button (SD) for the effect used in
switching in the SD section.
ACK is returned by the V-440HD upon proper reception of the
command.
SPS SD Section P in P Effect ON
stxSPS:a;
a: P in P status (0-5 (0: OFF, 1-5: P in P PATTERN buttons (SD) 1-5
ON))
This selects the P in P PATTERN button 1-5 used for the P in P effect
in the SD section.
ACK is returned by the V-440HD upon proper reception of the
command.
SPI SD Section P in P Effect Setting
stxSPI:a,b,c;
a: P in P horizontal position (%)(-40 to 40)
b: P in P vertical position (%)(-40 to 40)
c: P in P size (%)(20 to 100)
This makes the settings for the P in P currently being displayed.
ACK is returned by the V-440HD upon proper reception of the
command.
SKS SD Section Key Composite ON
stxSKS:a;
a: Key composite status (0-4 (0: OFF, 1: White Key , 2: Black Key, 3:
Chroma Key 1, 4: Chroma Key 2))
This switches the SD section’s key composite effects on and off. It
also sets the type of key applied when the effect is switched on.
ACK is returned by the V-440HD upon proper reception of the
command.
