Set (Tie) Connection Commands
The Set Connection Commands that follow are the programming equivalent of
the Tie Menus used from the FPC. Tie menus are described in Chapter 4.
Planes and Plane Maps
When looking at the rear panel of the Matrix 200, the planes
are counted from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Presently, six
planes (switching modules) are supported with hardware.
Planes 1, 2, and 3 are reserved for Red, Green, and Blue
modules. Planes 4 and 5 can have either sync or video
switching modules, depending on how the Matrix 200 was
configured at the factory. A Matrix, built with both a sync and
composite video switcher, will have the sync module in plane
4 and the composite video module in plane 5. Plane 6 is
reserved for stereo audio.
The Matrix 200 can access the planes independently, or in combinations, or in
groups. Commands can access the planes by using Plane Map bytes called
PlnMap0 and PlnMap1. (PlnMap1 is not used at this time.)
Examples below show the correlation between the planes and the bit numbers.
PlnMap0 to access the RGBS Switcher (planes 1, 2, 3 & 4)
Plane # n/a 7654321
Plane Use n/a n/u Audio Sync/ Sync/ Blue Green Red
Stereo Video Video hi-res hi-res hi-res
PlnMap Bit # 76543210
8F hex 10001111
PlnMap0 to access the Composite Video Switcher (plane 5)
Plane # n/a 7654321
Plane Use n/a n/u Audio Sync/ Sync/ Blue Green Red
Stereo Video Video hi-res hi-res hi-res
PlnMap Bit # 76543210
90 hex 10010000
PlnMap0 to access the Audio Switcher (plane 6)
Plane # n/a 7654321
Plane Use n/a n/u Audio Sync/ Sync/ Blue Green Red
Stereo Video Video hi-res hi-res hi-res
PlnMap Bit # 76543210
A0 hex 10100000
The plane number refers to the physical address of the I/O module.
