Has anyone controlled the Crestron 4x1 HDMI Switcher manually not finding any documentation showing protocol. ?Any info would be appreciated

Protocol?

Manually would be using the front buttons or via the webpage it serves up.? Otherwise you need a Crestron system to talk to it.

How would I control from a RMC3, telnet? What would the commands be? ?I
 

Drop in the device from the Crestron Database.? DigitalMedia ->DM Midpoints

I just went through the same dilemma as you configuring one. For anyone looking at this, drop it into your program and then configure it the same as you would a TCP/IP Client e.g. rightclick and set the IP of the device there. No IP table to configure on the HD-MD4x1-4K-E.
 

It looks like this can be controlled via telnet but I can't figure it out.
you can make a talent connection and if you type help you get the following:

Welcome to TELNET.
>help
input <n> syncdetect <true/false>
frontpanel lock <true/false>
output <n> route
input <n> name
output <n> name
input <n> video hdcp active <true/false>
input <n> video hdcp support <true/false>
input <n> video hdcp state <int>
output <n> video hotplug state <true/false>
output <n> video hdcp disabled <true/false>
output <n> video output disabled <true/false>
output <n> video hdcp alwayson <true/false>
output <n> video cec error <true/false>
output <n> video cec sendmessage <int>
output <n> video hres <int>
output <n> video vres <int>
output <n> video refreshrate <int>
output <n> video aspectratio <int>
output <n> video deepcolormode <int>
output <n> video colorspacemode <int>
output <n> video hdcp state <int>
output autoroute <true/false>
output <n> sink manufacturer <string>
output <n> sink name <string>
output <n> sink serialnumber <string>



If you try any command it doesn't work, e.g.
>output 1 route 1
doesn't do anything...

If you switch it manually you get the following in terminal:

>event output 1 video output disabled false
event output 1 video output disabled false
event output 1 route 2


It looks like it can be controlled but Crestron support said no, has anybody figured it out?
 

Why are you trying to control it via telnet and not just drop the device module into the program??
 

Just put it on your program and enter the details, then setup a IPID with the same ID and the IP address is the switcher itself.
 

It would be great if there was a Crestron controller in the system but there isn't so I have to control it from a third party control system.
 

There is a Crestron Device module for it. Are you saying you want to control it from a third party control system instead of a Crestron processor? If so good luck with that.?
 

lol, that is what I am saying.
I don't "want" to, I "have" to because people who design systems don't listen to the people who have to make them work.

"I don't 'want' to, I 'have' to because people who design systems don't listen to the people who have to make them work"

Sounds like you might need to tell the people that *sell* the systems they need to add a QM-RMC to the project free of charge since the people that design aren't doing due diligence...

This sounds like one of the cases where it doesn't matter how much "free" programming time you throw at it.? :)

An RMC3 would cost them less than it would to pay you for the time it will take to make it work properly.
 

But labor is free, right?

Only if you are salary. Lol......?

Wireshark the thing with a crestron processor, FFS.
 

I've figured it out, all commands start with the word "conf"

So to switch..
"conf output 1 route 2\n"

Thanks to those who posted helpful comments.

Wow - good find!

To add to that, you can also use the word 'show' at the start of most commands to query the current state of the switcher.

Example:

show input 1 name
Returned string: event input 1 name PC

Example:

show output 1 route
Returned string:?event output 1 route 1
