The remainder of this appendix explains the operation of each command
including data byte breakdown, responses and possible error codes.
CMD0 (30h) — Send Status
The Host asks the Matrix for its status settings.
Format:CMD0, SCMD, Cks1, Cks2, EOT
Where: SCMD = 080h send status bytes
81h-8Fh reserved
Response: SCMD = 080h — send status bytes
Format:30h, 80h, Erc, StsB1, StsB2, StsB3, Cks1, Cks2, EOT
Status Bytes (StsB1-3) are described below.
Status Byte 1: 76543210
Bit usage: 1 Prg Seq Slv Ver Gnlk Batt Pwr
Where: StsB1, Bit 0 Power On/Off status — 0 = powered on;
1 = powered off
StsB1, Bit 1 Backup battery status — 0 = battery okay;
1 = battery low
StsB1, Bit 2 Genlock Signal — 0 = detected; 1 = not detected
StsB1, Bit 3 Vertical interval switching — 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled
