Supported Protocol Collect

Describes supported protocols.

Supported Protocol Collect

General

If the device supports one or several additional protocols, these protocol specific information have to be specified. The supported protocol collect currently does not have any XML attributes (XML node <Protocols>). Children of supported protocol collect are specified in table 69.

RDM Section

If the device supports the RDM protocol, this section defines the corresponding information (XML node <FTRDM>). The currently defined XML attributes of RDM are specified in table 70.

Table 70. RDM Attributes

XML Attribute NameValue TypeDescription
ManufacturerIDHexManufacturer ESTA ID
DeviceModelIDHexUnique device model ID

As children the FTRDM has a list of SoftwareVersionID.

SoftwareVersionID

General

For each supported software version add an XML node <SoftwareVersionID>. The currently defined XML attributes are specified in table 71.

Table 71. SoftwareVersionID

XML Attribute NameValue TypeDescription
ValueHexSoftware version ID

As children the SoftwareVersionID has a list of DMXPersonality.

DMXPersonality

To define the supported software versions add an XML node <DMXPersonality>. The currently defined XML attributes are specified in table 72.

Table 72. DMXPersonality

XML Attribute NameValue TypeDescription
ValueHexHex Value of the DMXPersonality
DMXModeNameLink to the DMX Mode that can be used with this software version.

The DMXPersonality does not have any children.

Art-Net Section

General

If the device supports the Art-Net protocol, this section defines the corresponding information (XML node <Art-Net>).

As children the Art-Net has a list of Maps.

To define a custom mapping between Art-Net values and DMX Stream values you can add an XML node <Map> as a child. The currently defined XML attributes are specified in table 73.

By default, it is assumed that all the values are mapped 1:1, so only when you differ from that you can add a custom map.

Map

Table 73. Map Attributes

XML Attribute NameValue TypeDescription
KeyUintValue of the Artnet value.
ValueUintValue of the DMX value.

Streaming ACN Section

General

If the device supports the Streaming ACN protocol, this section defines the corresponding information (XML node <sACN>).

As children the Streaming ACN has a list of Maps.

To define a custom mapping between Streaming ACN values and DMX Stream values you can add an XML node <Map> as a child. The currently defined XML attributes are specified in table 73.

By default, it is assumed that all the values are mapped 1:1, so only when you differ from that you can add a custom map.

Posi Stage Net Section

This section has not yet been defined (XML node <PosiStageNet>).

Open Sound Control Section

This is intentionally left empty. Future settings for custom OpenSoundControl behavior can be defined in later version. (XML node <OpenSoundControl>).

CITP Section

This section has not yet been defined (XML node <CITP>).
