Advanced Remote Control of MediaMatrix® Advanced Remote Control of MediaMatrix How to compile a viewfile using a control system By Joe Kurta, Systems Integration Specialist. Edited by Will Roland, Operations Manager. A. Introduction to Remote Control When implementing a large-scale MediaMatrix system that may encompass multiple Mainframes, the designer may find the need to implement tools that support remote control of MediaMatrix.
Hardware Setup Remote Computer MediaMatrix Computer TCP/IP Telnet Server CLAMM PAVCON Telnet Client TCP/IP via RATC RATC Server PADPU HARDWARE CONTROL Figure 1, MediaMatrix application components and their relationship to Telnet based computers. C. Hardware Setup Let's create a simple system for future examples. First, we must have a MediaMatrix4 frame-based audio system. This would have to be a Miniframe or Mainframe, as the X-Frame™ does not support TCP/IP communications.
Advanced Remote Control of MediaMatrix® E. Connecting using RATC™ Let's begin our remote control exercise by controlling the MediaMatrix frame using the RATC protocol. As we mentioned earlier, it is not possible to compile directly via RATC; however, this exercise will confirm that our Telnet Client is set up properly and will allow you to get more comfortable using Telnet and the RATC protocol. At the remote notebook computer: 1. On the Telnet Client, select Remote System (Connect | Remote System). 2.
Telnet Setup G. WinTD® Setup Start WinTD. It will ALWAYS start as a minimized window, but it can be configured for “hidden” operation. To restore the hidden WinTD window, start it again (the new instance will "unhide" the already running copy). First, we need to set up the server interface so the client can connect. From the pulldown menu, select Options | Configuration and open the WinTD Configuration dialog (Fig. 4). For this exercise, let's change the port to 1634.
Advanced Remote Control of MediaMatrix® You are now ready to test WinTD. At the notebook computer: 1. Run Telnet (if it isn't running already). 2. Connect to the MediaMatrix frame (IP=10.10.1.1) using port 1634. 3. When prompted, type in the user name and password you set up in WinTD. 4. Type "man," which stands for 'manual'. You should now see some basic help and other information about the Telnet application (see Fig. 7.). Fig.
