Specifications

This has little use internally to a station, but it becomes valuable to a live program, because
the head-end of the program, does not know what port a receiver is connected to for airing.
The program producer will communicate to the station what TMAP port they will use. They
may, for example, say they will be using TMAP2 for their program and the station will map
that to the physical port they want to use for the program. If the station wants that program to
come out T1, then they would map TMAP2 to T1. However, another station uses a mono
feed and wants the same program to come out T2R. That station would map TMAP2 to T2R.
When the program is sent, each station would get the same program out the ports they
assigned. Please see the AMR-100 Manual to see how to program the ports.
Digital Ports
The digital ports are part of the analog targets and cannot be addressed separately from the
analog ports. Whatever is played on T1 also is played on the digital outputs (AES-EBU,
SPDIF, Optical) of T1. All of the outputs on a target (digital and analog) are always the
same. If two different programs are played out a target on the left and the right, the digital
output ports also have the different programs playing out the left and the right. The following
illustrates this.
Program 1: Adventures in Odyssey
Program 2: Grace to You
Program 1 is sent out T1L and Program 2 is sent out T1R
Program 1 is summed as mono and sent out T1L
Program 2 is summed as mono and sent out T1R
T1L has the summed audio of Adventures in Odyssey program
T1R has the summed audio of Grace to You program
The analog T1L has Adventures in Odyssey on the left channel as does the AES-EBU, SPDIF
and Optical output ports as assigned to T1.
The analog T1R has Grace to You on the right channel as does the same AES-EBU, SPDIF
and Optical outputs ports assigned to T1.
If you have an AES-EBU input to your board and both channels go to air on a stereo station,
the left channel of your station will have Adventures in Odyssey summed to mono and the
right channel will have Grace to You summed to mono.
Playlist
The AMR-100 has a playlist that controls when files are played and what can trigger a file
playback. It also works with live feeds to insert spots and produce relay closures. The playlist
is managed by the AMB-OS program that transfers programs. Please see the documentation
that came with that program.
Triggers
Triggers initiate an action on the AMR-100 receiver. An input closure can be used to start a
file playing and another input closure can cause the file to stop playing. Wiring a switch to a
start button on the board can be wired to input closure #1. A trigger can be set up to play a
file whenever that button is pressed. Thus, if Insight for Living is assigned to play when input
closure #1 is pressed, whenever that switch is pressed, Insight for Living is played.
A series of programs can be assigned to an input closure. For example, if you played 10
programs during the day, all of them could be assigned to play when that switch is pressed.
By putting the programs in the order they play, each one would play in the order they are
