Host Device Connection
Use a computer running the HyperTerminal or Extron DataViewer utility, or a control system
to make serial control of the transmitter and receiver possible. To connect directly to an
XTP T HDMI or XTP R HDMI, connect the computer to the XTP HDMI transmitter or receiver
through the front panel USB Config port.
SIS Programming Guide
Host-to-Device and Device-to-Host Communication
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the XTP T HDMI or the XTP R HDMI
determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the
host device. All responses from the transmitter or receiver to the host end with a carriage
return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string.
A string is one or more characters.
