Verifying Signal Status

Instruction Manual – BCS Basic Control Structure Protocol
Fragmented Status
The system may also support fragmented status reporting. (To determine if your system supports
fragmented status reporting, see Appendix A which starts on page 25.) This feature must be enabled in
XNConnect. If reporting is not enabled, the status result will display empty parentheses: (
).
When fragmented status reporting is enabled, a fragmented status result is indicated by a (
# ).
The (
# ) or ( ) indicate that either no input is routed to an output or that the full definition of an input
is not connected to the same output.
For example, audio and video signals from Input 5 are routed to Output 9 on the audio-follow-video
level (L0) and the audio from Input 5 is also routed to Output 10 on the audio level (L2).
The results of checking status on Input 5 on the audio-follow-video level (L0) would be
“SL0I5T(
9 10# ).” This indicates that Output 9 is connected on all defined components
of Input 5 on Level 0 and that Output 10 is connected on some, but not all, of the components
of Input 5 on Level 0.
The results of checking the status of Output 10 on the audio-follow-video level (L0) would be
“SL0O10T(
# ).” This indicates that Output 10 is connected but not receiving all of the
components from an input (Input 5) on Level 0.
Fragmented Status Examples
BCS Command Response Explanation of Result
SL0I4T SL0I4T( 6# )
Input 4 is only sending part of the defined components for Level 0 to
Output 6
SL0O7T SL0O7( # )
Output 7 is receiving only part of the defined components from an
input on Level 0
or
The defined components are originating from different inputs, e.g.,
the video is coming from a different input than the audio
