Extron VIdeo matrix

VladaPUB

I am trying to program Extrom video matrix, and i have a problem with command to do that.

All I need is to pust two buttons on TP , and to put that to command.

Example:
push tp,1
push tp,2
send_string 'input 1 on output2'

If the Extron Device is using the SIS protocol:

PUSH[dvPanel,1]
{
SEND_STRING dvExtron,'1*2!' // route In1 to Out2 both Video and Audio
}

'!' is video adn audio
'%' is video only
'$' is audio only

Baud rate is 9800,N,8,1

To disconnect a route AFAIK it's

PUSH[dvPanel,2]
{
SEND_STRING dvExtron,'0*2!' // disconnect route to Out2, both video and audio
}

I have understand that, but how to push two buttons, and create from that one command ?

I mean , when I push button 3 and button 1 to create command '2*3!'

Marc Scheibein

I misunderstood, sorry.

DEFINE_VARIABLE
INTEGER nSource
INTEGER nDest

DEFINE_CALL 'SwitchExtron'(INTEGER In, INTEGER Out)
{
SEND_STRING dvExtron,"ITOA(In),'*',ITOA(Out),'!'"
}

DEFINE_PROGRAM
PUSH[dvPanel,3]
{
nSource = 2
}
PUSH[dvPanel,1]
{
nDest = 3
}
IF((nIn>0) AND (nOut>0))
{
CALL 'SwitchExtron'(nSource,nDest)
nSource = 0
nDest = 0
}

OK, this some kind of rudimental..... Depending on your experience and AMX platform there are a lot of solutions possible....

Very small experience, but all people from this forum helps me a lot. Thank you !

Assuming you have more than one input and more than one output:

PUSH [TP,1]  (* these are sources 1-8)
PUSH [TP,2]
PUSH [TP,3]
PUSH [TP,4]
PUSH [TP,5]
PUSH [TP,6]
PUSH [TP,7]
PUSH [TP,8]
{
  CurrSource = PUSH_CHANNEL
}

[TP,1] = (CurrSource = 1)  (* Let's light up the active source button *)
[TP,2] = (CurrSource = 2)
[TP,3] = (CurrSource = 3)
[TP,4] = (CurrSource = 4)
[TP,5] = (CurrSource = 5)
[TP,6] = (CurrSource = 6)
[TP,7] = (CurrSource = 7)
[TP,8] = (CurrSource = 8)

PUSH [TP,11]  (* once you select a source, then you can select where you want it to go *)
PUSH [TP,12]  (* these buttons are for destinations 1-8 *)
PUSH [TP,13]
PUSH [TP,14]
PUSH [TP,15]
PUSH [TP,16]
PUSH [TP,17]
PUSH [TP,18]
{
  CurrDest = PUSH_CHANNEL - 10

  SEND_STRING Extron,"ITOA(CurrSource),'*',ITOA(CurrDest),'!'"
}

  (* You get to figure out how you want to do code for the destination buttons.  :)  *)
