91.6.1.8 Ember+ GPIO

Ember+ is a control protocol defined by the Lawo Group, allowing communication between two endpoints: a data provider (typically a device exposing a set of controllable parameters) and a consumer (typically a monitoring system).

The EMBER protocol is a sophisticated data exchange mechanism that has potential for controlling many functions across varied equipment types.
An EMBER controller connected to a piece of equipment that supports the protocol can display the properties of, and allow changes to all of the control parameters the equipment gives access to, without the controller needing prior knowledge of how the system operates or its configuration.
EMBER controller GUI’s can be customized to meet users needs, selecting the required controls, displaying and labelling them to make a user friendly layout.
Etere’s implementation of EMBER has so far been to meet our customer’s specific needs. 

Use EMBER+ GPIO

- IP: Set the IP of Ember+ device

- Port: Set the port of Ember+ device

- Pulse Time msec. : time interval when the GPI receives the signal

- Open/Close : Simulate opening and closure of EmBER+ device. Only for test purposes since the open signal is given from Radio Engine when goes onair.

ON/OFF : these are channel A and B labels that indicate il the channel is active or not. Their use case is primarily on debug or configuration.

Tabs CH-A, CHB

EGPI_FaderStartPlay_1 (String to send): GPI signal (input) given to mixer input which turns on and increases the fader cursor

EGPI_FaderStopPlay_1 (String to send): GPI signal (input) given to mixer input which turns off and decreases the fader cursor

EGPO_FaderStartPlay_1 (String to receive): GPI signal (output) sent by pressing mixer button to Radio Engine which skips the event currently in play and goes to the next event ready to A/B channel

notes: Fader is a device or control for varying the volume of sound
