Kernel GPIODriver Name:
Kernel GPIO
Supported RML Commands:GPI Enable ['GE']GPI Set ['GI']GPO Set ['GO']
This driver can be used to control kernel-based GPIO interfaces,

inputs come first, followed by outputs.
Further information on kernel GPIO devices can be found at
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio/sysfs.txt
Livewire LWRP AudioDriver Name:
Livewire LWRP Audio
Supported RML Commands:Switch Take ['ST']
Livewire is a distributed audio router and control system, with the
components (called 'nodes') configured and controled via TCP/IP. More
information can be found at http://www.axiaaudio.com/.
This driver can be used to create and remove connections between audio
sources and destinations via Livewire Routing Protocol (LWRP).
Configuration is a matter of entering the IP address, password and base
output number for each node in
RDAdmin->ManageHosts->Switcher/GPIO->LivewireNodes.
The driver
will autodetect all other parameters from the nodes themselves. The
resulting constellation of nodes can be controled with the
'Switch Take' ['ST'] RML by specifying the
Livewire source stream number as the input
parameter and the base output number+the slot number-1 for the
output parameter.
Livewire LWRP GPIODriver Name:
Livewire LWRP GPIO
Supported RML Commands:GPI Enable ['GE']GPI Set ['GI']GPO Set ['GO']
Livewire is a distributed audio router and control system, with the
components (called 'nodes') configured and controled via TCP/IP. More
information can be found at http://www.axiaaudio.com/.
This driver can be used to control Livewire's GPIO subsystem by means of
the Livewire Routing Protocol (LWRP) with both physical as well as
'virtual' GPIO devices.
Only two items need to be specified in the configuration: the
IP address
of the device to control and the
'Layer, with
V specifying a virtual
GPIO device and D specifying an actual
physical one. The driver
will autodetect all other parameters (e.g. the number of input and
output lines) from the device itself.
Livewire Multicast GPIODriver Name:
Livewire Multicast GPIO
Supported RML Commands:GPI Enable ['GE']GPI Set ['GI']GPO Set ['GO']
Livewire is a distributed audio router and control system, with the
components (called 'nodes') configured and controled via TCP/IP. More
information can be found at http://www.axiaaudio.com/.
This driver provides the ability to access GPIO functions from Livewire-
enabled control surfaces for setups that lack a virtual GPIO device
--e.g. when interfacing audio directly to a Livewire node without
using a native Livewire software audio driver or audio adapter.
When configuring it, the IP Address
field should contain the address
of the local interface to which the Livewire network is attached, while
the Livewire GPIOs list should be
populated with the stream
number - GPIO line associations to be used.
Local Audio AdapterDriver Name:
Local Audio Adapter
Supported RML Commands:GPI Enable ['GE']GPI Set ['GI']GPO Set ['GO']Switch Add ['SA']Switch Add With Gain ['SX']Switch Remove ['SR']Switch Take ['ST']
It's possible to use one or more of the actual audio adapters as a
switcher device using this driver. Doing so makes it possible to
route audio directly from the adapter inputs to outputs, while at the
same time using it for audio capture/playout in the usual manner.
To configure it, set Card: to the
number of the audio adapter to use and the
Inputs: and
Outputs: fields to the
number of inputs and outputs on the card (as found in
RDADmin->ManageHosts->AudioResources.
Local GPIODriver Name:
Local GPIO
Supported RML Commands:GPI Enable ['GE']GPI Set ['GI']GPO Set ['GO']
This driver supports a variety of GPIO devices, including:
15 Pin Joystick PortUSB HID DevicesMeasurementComputing GPIO Cards15 Pin Joystick Port
Joystick support utilizes the Linux Input Device subsystem. Inputs
are active-low, and should be wired as follows:
15 Pin Joystick Port WiringPinSignal2Input 14Ground7Input 25Ground10Input 312Ground14Input 412Ground
In addition, you will need to connect 47 kohm resistors between the
following pins: 1-3, 6-8, 9-11 and 13-15. While not strictly needed
for the GPI portion of the interface to work, the kernel's analog
joystick driver will refuse to initialize the port if these resistors
(or a real joystick) are not present.
The device name of the joystick will be one of the
/dev/input/eventn
devices.
NOTE: There have been reports that some port models do not internally
connect pin 12 to ground. The symptom of this situation will be that
Inputs 1 and 2 work, but not Inputs 3 and 4. If this is the case,
connecting the ground for Inputs 3 and 4 to pins 04 or 05 should remedy
the problem.
MeasurementComputing GPIO Cards
The following MeasurementComputing cards are supported:
PCI-PDIS08PCI-PDIS16PCI-DIO24
The device name for the card should be
/dev/gpion.
PCI-PDIS08 and PCI-PDIS16
The Measurement Computing PCI-PDIS08 and PCI-PDIS16 boards
feature floating, opto-isolated inputs. The inputs are
not polarity sensitive and may be driven by either AC or
DC. The outputs are electro-mechanical relays with dry
contacts.
PCI-DIO24
The Measurement Computing PCI-DIO24 board features 24
bi-directional, TTL level signal lines, referenced to a
common ground. The driver can be
configured to use all of the lines as inputs or outputs
(mixing inputs and outputs on the same board is not supported).
When used as inputs, termination resistor packs should be
installed.
Logitek vGuestDriver Name:
Logitek vGuest
Supported RML Commands:GPI Enable ['GE']GPI Set ['GI']GPO Set ['GO']Set Display ['SD']Switch Take ['ST']
Before using the driver, the resources within the Logitek Audio Engine
system that you wish to control must be made available in a 'vGuest'
account within the Logitek 'Supervisor' system. Then, those same
resources must be mapped within the Rivendell driver. For the
'ST'
RML, the Logitek Engine Numbers and Device Numbers are mapped to
logical Rivendell Inputs and
Outputs within the
Configure Inputs
and Configure Outputs dialogs.
For the GPO RMLs, various Logitek
'switches' (by which we mean anything that can be turned on and off,
such as faders feeds, not just GPIO) are mapped to logical Rivendell
GPIO lines by means of their Logitek Engine, Device and Buss numbers.
Modbus TCPDriver Name:

Software Authority ProtocolDriver Name:
Software Authority Protocol
Supported RML Commands:GPI Enable ['GE']GPI Set ['GI']GPO Set ['GO']Switch Take ['ST']
Used to control devices (such as the Axia 'PathFinder' system)
by means of the 'Software Authority' protocol. Control is by
means of a TCP/IP connection (typically to port 9500) on the
controled system. The Card
parameter should be set to the 'Router Number' of the router
to be controlled.
Most parameters, including the number of inputs and outputs as
well as the endpoint names, are autodetected by the driver.
Starguide III Satellite ReceiverDriver Name:
StarGuide III
Supported RML Commands:Switch Take ['ST']
Control is done by means of an RS-232C connection to the
RS-232 port on the unit. The port should be configured on the
receiver to use a speed of 9600. Serial port parameters in RDAdmin
should be set to 9600 baud rate, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
and no terminator. Once configured, use RDAdmin to create inputs that
correspond to the StarGuide Provider and Source IDs available on the
selected DVB carrier. Provider and Source ID data is available from
the provider network.
Wegener Unity4000 DVB Satellite ReceiverDriver Name:
Wegener Unity 4000
Supported RML Commands:Switch Take ['ST']
Control is done by means of an RS-232C connection to one of the two
RS-232 ports on the unit. If possible, use serial port number one,
as the reciever uses a larger data buffer with that port. The
selected port should be configured in the reciever to be of type
"Terminal" with a speed of 19200. Serial port parameters should be
set to 19200 baud rate, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
and no terminator. Once configured, use RDAdmin to create inputs that
correspond to the DVB stream names available on the selected DVB
carrier.
Caution is needed when scheduling record events from the Unity4000, as
the unit is capable of outputting a given DVB stream to only a single
output at a time. Commanding a stream to an output will cause that
stream to be silently deselected from a previously selected output.
