Programming AMX Controllers for a Kaleidescape System
Page 26
The 1U Server receives the command and routes the command to the Music Player
(CPDID 06) over Ethernet. The Music Player identifies the Zone ID of the command
and plays back music in zone 3. The response is directed through the 1U Server and
the module sends feedback through the KPLAYER8 virtual device.
Command routing using serial number addressing
Every Kaleidescape component has a twelve-character alphanumeric serial
number. The serial number of a component can be found on the Components page
of the browser interface or the back of most components. The serial number is
located on the bottom of mini players. The serial number of movie players can also
be found on the Systems Summary page of the Onscreen Display.
Configuring the Kaleidescape Multiple Panel Include file when using serial number
addressing
In the example illustrated in figure 8, an AMX controller is connected to a
Kaleidescape Cinema One (2
nd
generation) by Ethernet. Because the AMX controller
is connected directly to the first Cinema One, this Cinema One uses the default
CPDID None. The AMX controller will use serial number addressing to
communicate with the second Cinema One. Each Cinema One has one music zone
controlled independently by adding Zone IDs.
Figure 8: Serial Number routing example
Within DEFINE_START, set each virtual device to control an individual movie or
music zone:
send_command KPLAYER1, 'ID #050300000201' //Family room
send_command KPLAYER2, 'ID #050300000130' //Theater
send_command KPLAYER5, 'ID #050300000201.01' //Family room SATP
send_command KPLAYER6, 'ID #050300000130.01' //Theater SATP
SATP setup
The module checks the ID command for a Zone ID to determine if a virtual device
should be handled as an SATP command instead of an OSD command. If the Zone
ID is set (nonzero), the command is assumed to be an SATP command.
send_command KPLAYER6, 'ID 06.01'//Music Player, Zone 1
