1 General description

1.1 Protocol SDXI

The SDXI-U2 (Serial Data Exchange Interface) should allow interacting, controlling and

maintaining a variety of different devices. The serial interface was designed without any

higher protocol function like a handshake or something equal. This interface allows the

communication of embedded devices with a PC and/or among each other. Every device, a

PC or the embedded device is responsible for the correct receiving and interpreting of the

telegrams. This refers also to the timing-behaviour, this means that the devices must be able

to react and process to the telegrams during runtime, without validating the timing conditions,

which could lead to the loss of telegrams. A loss of a telegram can also cause a loss of data

because for some telegram a repetition of the telegram is not possible. If the external device

is fast enough and is controlled by an interrupt driven interface there should be no problem to

handle the telegrams.

1.2 Protocol Extension SDXI-U2 (ASCII Mode)

The SDXI protocol includes a second, higher level protocol interface called SDXI-U2

protocol, which allows the user to communicate and control the device with a simple terminal

program using an ASCII-based interface language.

This SDXI-U2 protocol provides a subset of the regular SDXI telegrams respectively SDXI

commands, to make the basic functions available for an easy access via various media

control devices like AMX, Crestron or something similar.

1.3 Serial Parameters

To select a user specific baud rate, you can select a different baud rate using the according

SDXI-U2 telegram. For detailed description, please refer to the manual.

Default parameters:

BAUDRATE: 9600

PARITY: NONE (fixed)

STOPBIT: 1 (fixed)

DATABITS: 8 (fixed)

1.4 Availability of Telegrams

The availability of each telegram depends on optional and device specific software modules

as well.

1.5 Note: Enabling Remote Control

To enable the remote control functionality, it is first necessary to enable the remote

interface of the device by sending a “Set Remote Interface” command to the device!

This command allows switching of the input

channels 1...6 of the digital automixer similar to a

talk station. The following states are available:

(VTS = virtual talk station)

1. ON: activates the input channel (Force On) and

sets the according logic output pin to high (e.g. for

an LED indicator).

2. OFF: deactivates the input channel (Force Off)

and sets the according logic output pin to low (e.g.

for an LED indicator).

3. REQUEST TO SPEAK: deactivates the input

channel (Force Off) and flashes the according

logic output pin with a frequency of 2 Hz (e.g. for

an LED indicator)

<ts> = channel number: 1…4

<st> = talks station state

0 = OFF

1 = ON

2 = REQUEST TO SPEAK (Logic Out

Pin toggles with 1 Hz)

optional:

0: Logic input pin is active

1: Logic input pin is not longer active

Note:

After sending this command, the input signals

“Force On” and “Force Off” for the according

channel are deactivated!
