Use of a Video Switch
Video Switch Example
A simple example of setup could be:
Controller sending:
xcommand UserInterface Presentation ExternalSource Add
ConnectorId: 3 Name: "Blu-ray" SourceIdentifier: bluray
Type: mediaplayer
xcommand UserInterface Presentation ExternalSource Add
ConnectorId: 3 Name: "Apple TV" SourceIdentifier: appletv
Type: mediaplayer
xcommand UserInterface Presentation ExternalSource Add
ConnectorId: 3 Name: "TV" SourceIdentifier: tv Type:
mediaplayer
The default state is NotReady (Fig. 1)
So the next step for an integrator would be to set them to ready
(Fig. 2).
xcommand UserInterface Presentation ExternalSource State Set
State: Ready SourceIdentifier: bluray
xcommand UserInterface Presentation ExternalSource State Set
State: Ready SourceIdentifier: appletv
xcommand UserInterface Presentation ExternalSource State Set
State: Ready SourceIdentifier: tv
If one of the sources is selected on the video switch the controller
should send a command accordingly:
xcommand UserInterface Presentation ExternalSource Select
SourceIdentifier: tv
If the switch is connected on the chosen connector it will start to
present (Fig. 3).
When a user selects another source, by clicking the other source
item in the share tray, the codec will send the following event:
*e UserInterface Presentation ExternalSource Selected
SourceIdentifier: "appletv"
The Controller should listen to this event and display the selected
source.
