LiveWire LWRP Audio
|
|
|
|
Driver Name: LiveWire LWRP Audio
|
|
|
|
Supported RML Commands:
|
|
Switch Take ('ST')
|
|
|
|
GENERAL NOTES:
|
|
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->LiveWire Nodes. 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 the base output number+the slot number-1 for the <output>
|
|
parameter.

GENERAL NOTES:
|
|
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 GPIO
|
|
|
|
Driver Name: LiveWire Multicast GPIO
|
|
|
|
Supported RML Commands:
|
|
GPI Enable ('GE')
|
|
GPI Set ('GI')
|
|
GPO Set ('GO')
|
|
|
|
GENERAL NOTES:
|
|
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.

Driver Name: Local Audio Adapter
|
|
|
|
Supported RML Commands:
|
|
Switch Take ('ST')
|
|
Switch Add ('SA')
|
|
Switch Remove ('SR')
|
|
Switch Add with Gain ('SX')
|
|
|
|
GENERAL NOTES:
|
|
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.
|

|
Driver Name: Logitek vGuest
|
|
|
|
Supported RML Commands:

|
GPI Enable ('GE')
|
|
GPI Set ('GI')
|
|
GPO Set ('GO')
|
|
Set Display ('SD')
|
|
Switch Take ('ST')
|
|
|
|
GENERAL NOTES:
|
|
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.

GENERAL NOTES:
|
|
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.

|
|
|
|
Supported RML Commands:
|
|
Switch Take ('ST')
|
|
|
|
GENERAL NOTES:
|
|
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 RECEIVER
|
|
|
|
Driver Name: Wegener Unity 4000
|
|
|
|
Supported RML Commands:
|
|
Switch Take ('ST')
|
|
|
|
GENERAL NOTES:
|
|
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.
