We have had numerous Crestron Integrators ask for helpful setup tips when trying to control the SE-1200MU switcher. We compiled some information in the form of a word document and also listed expanded information below to assist with proper setup. In addition, a link to the SE-1200MU Serial control (based on GVG100 protocol) documentation is available at the bottom of this article. We also have Crestron modules available, links at the bottom of this article.
PIN OUTS
1. Let’s start with the serial pin definition on the SE-1200MU for RS-232:
The 9 pin D-SUB connector has the following pin outs:
PIN2 :TX
PIN3: RX
PIN5: GND
Serial Interface Configuration:
2. Based on feedback from a previous Crestron programmers, the cable setup should be as follows:
A null modem cable is recommended and on the Crestron side it must be configured as follows:
19,200 baud rate
8 Data Bits
1 Stop Bit
ODD Parity
NO CARRIAGE RETURNS (Can cause commands to be intermittent)
(RTS enabled only with Crestron MP2E with a TSW-750 touch panel)
STRING STRUCTURE
3. Here are some example strings:
You can set the Preset bus using the C2 command
Set Preset Source to Input 1:
0×03, 0×00, 0xc2, 0×01
Alternatively, you can use the Push Button command
Command: 0×03, 0×00, 0xc6, 0×10 .. 0×18
To enable a background transition (from Program to Preset) do:
Command: 0×03, 0×00, 0xc6, 0×48
To do a Wipe (from Program to Preset) do:
Select Wipe: 0×03, 0×00, 0xc6, 0×0e
Do Auto Trans: 0×03, 0×00, 0xc6, 0×0b
To do the FTB, push button 0×1f needs to be set to ‘1’
Command: 0×03, 0×00, 0xc6, 0×1f
To set the FTB Rate, the Transition Rate command is used:
Command: 0×05, 0×00, 0xfd, 0×00, 0×09, 0×00
- sets to a 90 frame FTB rate
