Inline 3808

Make/Model	Device Version	Connection Type
Inline/IN3808 or IN3808DS	1.0	Serial

Description:

This driver controls the Inline 3808 Matrix switcher. This driver only switches audio and video together, it does not switch them separately. It will automatically configure the switch to matrix mode and rearrange groups so that audio and video switch together.

Quirks and Limitations:

The driver requires factory default settings. After a factory reset, the baud rate can be set to something higher than the default (1200), following the RS232 protocol steps for doing so, and changing the connection settings during install.

Connection Details

The parameters are 1200 baud, 8 bits, one stop bit, no parity, no handshaking. During the connect stage, the driver will automatically configure the Inline for Matrix Mode, and set all video and audio connections to group 1.

Driver Fields

This section lists the fields that the driver makes available, their types, minimum and maximum values, etc...
Name
Type
R/W
Description/Limits
Output1
String
R/W
Read or set the input for Output1. Valid values are Blank, or Input1 to Input8.
Output2
String
R/W
Read or set the input for Output2. Valid values are Blank, or Input1 to Input8.
Output3
String
R/W
Read or set the input for Output3. Valid values are Blank, or Input1 to Input8.
Output4
String
R/W
Read or set the input for Output4. Valid values are Blank, or Input1 to Input8.
Command
String
W
Sends a command to the device. Only certain commands are supported, as listed below.
Command Field
This field allows a command to be sent directly to the device. This should be used with care, as the wrong command may leave the device in a unresponsive state and you'll have to factory reset it again. If you choose to, you can use it to send unsupported RS232 commands, however the command must normally return an “OK” or else a rejected value error will occur.
The following are the commands that are directly supported by this field. Write the following values in bold to accomplish the desired results.
Command
Description
MUTEx0 (That's a zero, not an “o”)
Un-mute for output x. So in other words, cause sound to come out again. The x can be 1, 2, 3, or 4. So MUTE20 will un-mute output 2.
MUTEx1
Mute output x. So sound will cease on that output. So MUTE41 will mute Output 4.
VOLx+
Increase the volume for output x. So, VOL2+ will increase the volume on output 2.
VOLx-
Decrease the volume on output x. So, VOL3- will decrease the volume for output 3.
