AV Distribution and Control using StreamNet StreamNet technology based products are designed to distribute audio, video and control data using standard networking technology. By embracing open standards, we have developed a system that leverages reliability, expandability and cost-effectiveness for customers.
SOFTWARE OVERVIEW Stardraw Software The Stardraw Control software must be obtained and licensed from the Stardraw website. It provides all the tools you need to design, develop, test and deploy sophisticated control applications. You will require two licenses: the Authoring License and the Machine License. The Authoring License for Stardraw Control 2010 includes a USB dongle.
Implementation The ClearOne StreamNet system is a networked Audio/Video streaming system. This makes it loosely defined as a switcher where the Audio/Video signals from a source “stream” to one or multiple destinations (Zone or Room). To interface StreamNet to a Stardraw controller, the programmer must perform the following steps: 1. Obtain the Licensed Stardraw Controller software from Stardraw. 2. Install the Stardraw Controller software on the PC or laptop that is to become the Stardraw designer. 3.
Select “Blank Project” and click “OK. Fill in the Project Name and Project Description.
After the application has loaded, you are presented the main screen showing a topology view with the Generic Control Computer element displayed. This project is not yet completed with the StreamNet information.
Navigate to and select the “Clearone StreamNet Stardraw Demo” file, then Open to import the demo software into the project. Navigate to and select the “Clearone StreamNet Stardraw Demo” file, then Open to import the demo software into the project. The demo project is displayed on the topology view.
CREATE AND DEFINE THE ID’S FOR STREAMNET The devices in the StreamNet network must be identified for use by the Stardraw controller. System Comm The System Comm (SC) device is the gateway to the StreamNet system for Stardraw. It is shown as “StreamNet SC” in the topology view diagram. It is identified by its static IP Address, so It could be any SpeakerLinX, MediaLinX or ControLinX in the network.
After the name has been entered it will be reflected in the topology view. Continue the process until all RC’s under the single SC are named. If there are fewer than sixteen RC’s, the surplus can be deleted by selecting, then clicking on the Delete (red X) button. Adding SC’s and RC’s If there are more than output devices in the StreamNet system, then an additional SC must be added and then RC’s for those outputs under that.
COMPLETE AND DEPLOY THE PROJECT After the design is done, it can then be generated and deployed to the machine on which is intended to run.
