ALTINEX AP445-401 Manuel D’Utilisation

400-0422-001

There are controls available for the following 
picture properties: color, contrast, brightness, 
hue and sharpness. Pressing one of these 
buttons will make that property the active 
control. Then, use the + and – buttons to adjust 
the image. 

For example, press the BRIGHT button to make 
the brightness setting the active function. Then 
use the plus and minus buttons to increase or 
decrease the brightness level as necessary.

The  output resolution is controlled using the 
OUTPUT MODE button. Each time the button is 
pressed, the next resolution is

selected. 

Repeatedly pressing the button will cycle 
through all the available resolutions.

The audio gain is controlled just like the video 
picture adjustments. First, press the AUDIO 
button on the panel. Then, use the plus and 
minus buttons to adjust the volume.

The  AP445-401 has many advanced remote 
control capabilities, which are accessible through 
standard RS-232 communication. The actual 
controlling can be accomplished through a 
computer control system or any other device 
capable of sending RS-232 commands.

The RS-232 commands, for the AP445-401, are 
in a simple ASCII character format.

1.

Square brackets “[  ]” are part of the 

command.

2.

Use uppercase letters for all commands.

After processing a command, an [OK] or [ERR]
will be returned as feedback if "F" is included at 
the end of a command string.

Commands ending in "S" will be saved into 
memory. Commands not ending in "S" will still 
be executed but will not be restored when the 
system is reset or powered off then on.

The default unit ID is zero, but may be set to a 
value from 0 to 99. In single unit operation, 
commands may be sent without the unit 
identifier. Unit ID 0 should be used for single 
unit operation. 

If multiple AP445-401’s  are connected to the 
same communication port, the units may be 
controlled two ways. In order to control all the 
units the same, commands may be sent without 
the unit identifier. Commands sent without the 
unit identifier will be executed by all 
AP445-401’s.

Individual control is accomplished by first 
assigning each unit a unique ID number. Then 
each unit may be controlled individually by 
including the unit identifier at the end of each 
command string.
