Cascading Hubs Cascading Hubs Distributing Video - Using Cascade Kits To ensure that customers are satisfied with the operation of the UDM-1604C even as video resolutions increase, AMX recommends that ALL new installations of the UDM-1604C requiring cascade capability use kit FG1402-61K or kit FG1402-62K as an alternative to the cascade ports built into the UDM-1604C. These Cascade kits use Solecis Distribution Amplifiers (rather than the Cascade ports) to distribute Video.
Cascading Hubs Using Solecis Distribution Amplifiers to Distribute Video 1. Connect the video output from each source A/V device to the VIDEO INPUT connector on the Solecis Distribution Amplifier (DA). Each source A/V device should be connected to a Solecis (DA). 2. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT connectors on the Solecis DA to the VIDEO IN connectors on each UDM-1604C. The illustration in FIG. 104 shows all four video outputs on the Solecis DA connecting to Video Input A, on four UDM-1604C Hubs.

Cascading Hubs CASCADE IN/OUT Connectors The CASCADE IN and OUT connectors on the UDM-1604C require a UDM-EXP-01 50-Pin Hub Expansion Cable (FG-UDM-EXP01 - not included). The CASCADE IN and OUT connectors on the UDM-1604C are intended to be used for cascading audio only. From another UDM Hub To another UDM Hub FIG.
Cascading Hubs FIG.
Cascading Hubs Configuring the Master Hub The "Master" Hub refers to the first Hub in a cascaded chain. All other (downstream) hubs are considered to be "Target" (or "slave") Hubs. In a multi-Hub installation, the first UDM Hub in the chain must be configured through the Hub’s builtin WebConsole as a Master Hub. Subsequent Hubs in the chain should be configured as Target (or "slave") Hubs.
Cascading Hubs Configuring Cascaded Video Cascaded video sources are connected to the Master Hub and passed down to Target (or "slave") Hubs via the CASCADE OUT port (using the optional 50-pin CASCADE cable - FG-UDM-EXP01). Any video inputs that are checked as Cascade in the Inputs page will replace the available video inputs on the Target Hub.
Cascading Hubs Cascading Audio Audio is cascaded via the CASCADE ports on the rear panel. To cascade audio, the audio from each source should be connected to the audio inputs on the rear panel of the Master Hub. All downstream UDM Hubs receive audio via the CASCADE Connectors (using the optional 50-pin CASCADE cable FG-UDM-EXP01). FIG.
Cascading Hubs Configuring Cascaded Audio Any audio inputs that are checked as Cascade in the Inputs page will replace the available audio inputs on the Target Hub. Options in the Hub’s WebConsole (Inputs page), allow you to define which Video and Audio inputs on each UDM Hub are Local (connected directly to the Hub) and which are Cascaded from another Hub (FIG. 114). Click to specify which audio Inputs (A-D) are Cascaded from another UDM-1604C Hub Select the Type for each audio input FIG.

On the Master Hub, video Inputs "A" and "C" are selected to Cascade, via the Cascade options at the top of the Inputs page (FIG. 116): MASTER Hub (Inputs page) A B C D FIG.
Cascading Hubs Example 2 - Cascading Two Hubs In a cascaded two Hub system, there is a Master Hub, and two Target Hubs. Again, in this example assume that the Inputs on the Master Hub are named "A", "B", "C" and "D", and the inputs on the first Target Hub are named "E", "F", "G" and "H". Further assume that the Inputs on the second Target Hub have been named "I", "J", "K" and "L" (FIG. 118).

Endeleo IR Codes Endeleo IR Codes Overview The following is a list of IR Codes used by Endeleo in learning serial or IR controls for display devices. Note that several of the items in the following table are not represented in the Action drop-down menus for IR and Serial protocols (in the Web Configuration Interface). For example, “AV SELECT 1" is available in the Action drop-down menu (see “A/V Sel”), and needs no custom code reference.

UDM Hub Control Protocol UDM Hub Control Protocol Overview The information in this section applies to UDM-0404, UDM-1604 and UDM-1604C Hubs. The UDM Hub often forms part of a larger system where control of switching and management functions is provided by an external system (for example, AMX or Crestron controllers).
UDM Hub Control Protocol For example: BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP,3] // POWER TV { PUSH: { // SLIP command SEND_STRING UDM,"$C0" wait 2 SEND_STRING UDM,"87,$01,$01,$01,$02,21" wait 4 // SLIP command SEND_STRING UDM, "$C0" } } The waits used in the example above are not required.
UDM Hub Control Protocol The hub replies to all commands, and the reply format are also detailed in this document. For the switching command described above, the reply would be: Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5 Byte value 1 Status Port Input Selected Sub Input Input Type The reply packet starts with the command value, then a Status value (1 for success, other values are listed in section 6.0).
UDM Hub Control Protocol The following example shows SLIP encoding for a UDP packet, showing the start and end characters (192) and substitution of special sequences when the data includes the start and end characters: UDP data 17 03 192 SLIP data 192 17 03 219 220 69 219 69 219 25 221 25 192 Responses which are SLIP framed will require decoding at the host.
UDM Hub Control Protocol Handshaking Although UDP is not deterministic (there is no guarantee that a UDP packet will be delivered), using UDP greatly simplifies the stack processing in the hubs. To accommodate UDP, this protocol requires that the hubs send a completion reply on receipt (and completion) of any command. This is not a great restriction since some commands may not complete (selection of a disabled input for example) and status must be returned and decoded anyway.
UDM Hub Control Protocol Command Summary UDP Command 0 1 2 3 Connect 1 X Port Input Disconnect 6 X Port Cascade input select 9 X Input Lock Port 2 X Port Unlock port 3 X Port Query port 12 X Port Get port or input name 79 X Port Get receiver info 4 Type 88 X Port Send remote command 87 X Port Get remote serial buffer 89 X Port Terminator Start of string (data) Remote command 67 X Length of ID string Get hub or port ID 78 X Port Reset 99 X 156 Set Protocol
UDM Hub Control Protocol Input type can have the following values: Value Description 0 VGA 1 Composite (CVBS) 2 S-Video 3 Component analog (YPbPr) 4 TV (from TVM) Return Status: Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5 Byte value 1 Status Port Input Selected Sub Input Input Type Disconnect Port Disconnects the current input from the Port specified by the Port property, or if non-zero, from the port specified in the command.
UDM Hub Control Protocol Unlock Port Unlocks the port (or range of ports) specified by the Port property, or if non zero, the port specified in the command, so that selected inputs on that port may be changed. Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5 Byte value 3 User Defined Port User Defined User Defined User Defined Return Status: Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5 Byte value 3 User Defined Port User Defined User Defined User Defined Query Port Queries a particular port for connection and status information.
UDM Hub Control Protocol The parameter block contains at least the following - it may contain extra information, but if not defined here it can be ignored: Byte offset (from 4) Receiver information 0 Receiver type 1 Flags 2 Receiver version number - major 3 Receiver version number - minor Send Remote Command Sends a command to the Rx (which is normally sent on to the screen or other device connected to the Rx). Remote command specifies the type of action taken, with optional parameters.
UDM Hub Control Protocol Send IR Command To Connected Device Sends a control command out through the IR blaster or serial port connected to the remote receiver. This is translated in the receiver to the appropriate control protocol previously selected. The receiver must already be loaded with the right driver for the codes used, and the device being controlled must allow the necessary actions.
UDM Hub Control Protocol Get Remote Serial Buffer Returns the contents of the remote serial buffer. On receiving this command, the remote serial buffer is flushed and characters are acquired until the termination character is received. Once received a reply is sent as below. As a general case, this command would normally be issued before sending a remote serial command to retrieve information from the device connected to the receiver.
UDM Hub Control Protocol Reset Controller Resets the controller - reboots as though powered on - second 156 (inverted 99) in packet is to guard against accidental resets. Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5 Byte value 99 User Defined 156 User Defined User Defined User Defined Return status: Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5 Byte value 99 Status 156 User Defined User Defined User Defined Set Protocol Determines protocol settings for communications and operations.
Ascii / Hex Conversion Ascii / Hex Conversion Overview Devices are typically controlled either using ascii text strings or using the HEX equivalent. Control codes can be entered into the Endeleo hardware using ASCII, HEX or a combination of both. (Where certain ASCII codes are difficult to enter (e.g. carriage return).
