5.2 Macro Triggers
The JNIOR macros can be trigged a variety of ways.
1) A predefined message (Appendix C) can be sent by the Client (i.e. preshow
system) that will trigger a user configurable macro name (see the Configuration
Parameters section for the default settings and how to adjust). The predefined
macro name must correspond to a macro name in the macro file.
2) A specific macro name (as opposed to a predefined message) or macro number
can be sent by the Client and/or Cinema Server Client using the ‘run’ command.
The macro number is simply a sequential number assigned to the macro based on
its order (from top to bottom) as shown in the Macro View window.
NOTE: The “run macroname” command is typically sent using a RAW Ethernet
or RAW serial connection on the preshow system or cinema server. When using
this method, please make sure you have correctly configured the termination
strings on the JNIOR and sending device to match. On occasion, the termination
string may have to be added after the “run macroname” command if it is not
automatically added by the sending device.
3) A device can send the complete HEX string representing the JNIOR protocol
command for the ‘run macroname’ command. The HEX string is typically sent as
a RAW Ethernet connection to port 9200 on the JNIOR. This allows the user to
utilize this method without having to implement the actual JNIOR protocol on the
sending device. The HEX string can be created using the macro execution tool
described in section 6.2 of this manual.
4) The JNIOR digital inputs can be configured to trigger a specific macro when the
input goes ‘high’ (transitions from ‘off’ to ‘on’). See section 7.4 of this manual.
5) The switches on the JNIOR Control Panel can be defined to trigger a specific
macro. See the JNIOR Control Panel configuration instructions.
6) The INTEG JNIOR App for the iPad/iPhone or Android can send the “run
macroname” command.
7) For testing purposes, a “run macroname” (or macro number) can be sent as a via a
HyperTerminal connection (either via the serial port or Ethernet port). The macro
will then be executed. The proper Client or Cinema Server Client ‘method’
(serial or Ethernet) must be configured via the Registry Client key described in
section 6.1 of this manual.
