You can control the V-160HD with 3rd party control systems via LAN or RS-232. The V-160HD also supports MIDI control. More information is in the Remote Control Guide, which is different than the Remote Connection Guide.

• LAN 
  • Wired V-160HD and control system via Ethernet
    • Create a 4-digit network password in the LAN Control menu to use this feature
• RS-232
  • Wired V-160HD and control system via RS-232
    • Note that the V-160HD has a 9-pin RS-232 port
       
• Some button commands are not included in the Remote Control Guide, please contact product support for a complete list.
• "stx" is not required when using TCP/IP control
• The V-160HD uses line feed (LF) returns instead of carriage return (CR)

 

The actual command set is MIDI SysEx, but you use two control commands as wrappers.

• Calculating the checksum is not required

The V-160HD requires a 4 digit numeric password, you can create one in the LAN Control menu. Depending on the control system, you may need to:

• Enter the password when you first connect
• Send the password as the first command once, followed by the actual command
• Send the password as the first command each time, followed by the actual command

 

Parameter Write:

• Example: Press and release the Cut button
  • DTH:0B001E,01;
    Presses and holds the Cut button
    • DTH is the wrapper command
    • 0B 00 1E is the CUT button SysEx command
    • 01 is the on value
  • To release the button, you will need another command:
  • DTH:0B001E,00;
    Releases the Cut button
    • Any momentary button needs to turned off with this 2nd command, otherwise, it's like holding down the button indefinitely
       
• Example: Select channel 3 on the PGM/A row of the Crosspoint
  • DTH:002100,02;
    Selects channel 3 on the PGM row of the Crosspoint
    • DTH is the wrapper command
    • 00 21 00 is the PGM Select SysEx command
    • 02 is the value for channel 3
      • The off/release command is not required, as the button stays on until another input select button is pressed, physically or remotely

 

Parameter Value Retrieve:

Example: Tally status of HDMI Input 3 on the crosspoint 

• If HDMI Input 3 is the PGM and/or PST selection, it will return a status value other than 0
• If HDMI Input 3 is not assigned to the crosspoint, the status value will always be 0
• Not the same as the tally light output, but may help control some third party tally systems

RQH:0C0002,000001;
Selects channel 3 on the PGM row of the Crosspoint

• RQH is the wrapper command
• 0C 00 02 is the address of the HDMI Input 3 Tally Status SysEx command
• 00 00 01 is the address size

The control system receives the status as DTH:0C0002,0X 

• If HDMI Input 3 is selected as Nothing, X=0, PGM, X=1, PST, X=2, PGM & PST, X=3
