Intercom Commands

George Krietsepis

Hi everybody,
any idea if there are any commands for making an intercom between some CV7 panels?
As I have already seen, there are only the panel "Master Volume" commands (^MUT and ^VOL ones), but if we don't have an audio switcher we also need to have the "Line IN" and "Mic Out Level" commands to control the proper panel levels from an other panel by sending commnads through an NI controller.

Thanks in advance,
George

there are no specific controls or commands for 'intercom' functions. the idea with these panels is that they are an open format. In other words, AMX gives you the mic and speakers and a bunch of buttons. it's up to you to create an implementation of them. Depending upon the complexity of your intercom system, yes, you'll more than likely need a matrix switcher and/or mic pres and or something to control gain/volume.

While that may seem strange, there are good reason not to pigeon-hole the panel into strictly intercom function. The mics and speaker can be used for a variety of uses.

I have used the mics in the panels for security, video/audio teleconferencing, paging systems and telephone. If the system was sort of pigeon-holed into strictly intercom, it would loose a lot of flexibilty.

has anybody been able to mute the mic out level? we made it to mute the other levels that have a mute button but not the mic out level that only has a level on the audio setup page...

Just as a follow up oin the intercom discussion. We just put in the 8400i panels in a home and the intercom function works very well. The client is very happy.

Did you try this?

Syntax:
"'^ICM-MUTEMIC,<state>'"
Variables:
0 - unmuted
1 - muted
Example:
SEND_COMMAND Panel, ?^ICM-MUTEMIC,1?
Sets the microphone to muted.
