Production Switchers

Linked to the "Protocol" item under the "Linear Editors" part of the "Interface List" for the Carbonite switcher is a pdf document named GVG100-Commands(4802DR-401-02).pdf.

The document claims the switcher can accept GVG100 commands using "LUA" commands via Telnet or serial connection but never defines "LUA" and provides only one sample command that I can not duplicate.

I can successfully Telnet into the switcher and get the GVG100> prompt, but I can't go any further. Can you please update the documentation to define what "LUA" is and provide at least a few example commands.

Page 3 provides a command 'example' of "05 01 CC 50 14 05". When I try this command at the GVG100> prompt I get an error returned. When I try "injectGVG100command(05 01 CC 50 14 05)" I get the same error. How exactly should I enter a command?

I have the 'Model 100 Video Switcher Serial Interface Protocol" manual so I know how to build the command blocks. I prefer to use the Telnet interface rather than the serial. I just need a few examples to get me going.

Hi Jeff 

your command should look like this

injectGVG100command("0501CC501405")

You will note the need for the quote marks and the lack of spaces. Otherwise your command is "correct". So you were correct but the syntax was not recognized and able to be parsed.

LUA is a light weight programming language. You can read more about it here:
