Input Management

There are two groups for input management : In (for Input) and Bk (for Backup).

Caution: input settings depends on mode. When in Mix mode, changing Backup source will not have any impact. In the other way, when not in Mix mode, setting Mix Level for Analog Input will not have any effect. Moreover, some presets may have their setting forced !

For more details, see the following commands:

• Backup Mode
• Bk.Mode (Off, Backup or Priority)
• Bk.Src (Array of 4 inputs, each may be Analog, Digital, PCI or IP)
• Bk.FadeIn (0 to 5 sec)
• Bk.FadeOut (0 to 5 sec)
• Mix Mode (cards only)
• In.MixMode (0 or 1)

SOUND4IP Links

A single command file may reconfigure a complete IP network.

We recommend, for simplicity reasons, to pre-configure all the Links using the Sound4 Remote Control software, and to manage only routing and activation via the L&S.

Decoders, Encoders and Links may be named for ease-of-use. Once defined, the name may be used to identify the entity.

Main commands are:

• Decoder
• IP.dec.enable (0 or 1)
• IP.dec.Source (Decoder Source, may be any IP Link)
• Encoder
• IP.enc.enable (0 or 1)
• IP.enc.bitrate (depends on codec)
• IP.enc.codec (Linear, LD, LD Low Lat)
• Links (examples with Link 1)
• IP.lk1.enable (0 or 1)
• IP.lk1.source (encoder or another link)
• IP.lk1.mode (RX, TX or Duplex)

Emergency Player (box only)

• EPlayer.Play Start playing
• EPlayer.Stop Stop playing
• EPlayer.current Get/Set currently playing song name
• EPlayer.autostart Enable/Disable AutoStart

Issues

12.0dBr Preset name

On an IMPACT and a PULSE, when Preset « MPX Power Target » is max (12.0 dBr), Preset name shown in caption is displayed « –.- dBr - PRESETNAME ». For example « 12.0 dBr - Rock » is displayed « –.- dBr - Rock ». But the real name of the preset is « 12.0 dBr - Rock ».

To use Preset in Link&Share, full name of the preset must be use.

For example to set a preset OnAir: PRESET.ONAIR=12.0 dBr - Rock

"PRESET.ONAIR=Rock" will not work
