Audac R2 Multimedia Digital Audio Matrix

This driver is for the Audac R2 Multimedia Digital Audio Matrix using Serial or TCP/IP connectivity. Firmware in the unit during driver development was v4.00.

This driver was developed using the R2 and has been tested for Serial and TCP/IP.

Revision History

The Initial release of the driver

Connection Settings

Network (TCP)

The TCP/IP connection on the Audac R2 matrix should be connected to the Ethernet Network.

The Audac R2 matrix IP address can be set to static using a terminal program or Web interface. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.191.

The Audac R2 matrix uses port 5001 as default for TCP/IP (telnet) communication.

RS-232 Connection

The Serial (RS-232) connection on the R2 matrix should be connected with a straight through cable to the XP processor serial adapter.

The Audac R2 matrix uses a baud rate of 19200 as default for serial (RS232) communication.

R2 I/O Configuration

The R2 matrix has a number of possible inputs (direct, priority, wall panel, and fiber) and outputs (direct and wall panel). The system does not need to include all inputs or outputs. This driver was developed to allow for multiple types of configurations. Select the last input or output used for each type. If a particular input or output type is not in use on the system, select ‘None.’

Input and Output Names

Enter input and output names preferred for use in the driver commands, variables, and events. All visible fields should be named. There are four inputs that will be automatically included in every system; Off, Sine Generator, White Noise Generator, and Pink Noise Generator. However, these four inputs will not be listed with the ‘Input Names -Text Only’ variables.

Input Auto Programming Tags (Apex Only)

To ensure auto tagging for all possible inputs on the system, each possible input (in use on the system or not) has a unique input tag number. Please follow the key below for proper tagging for all inputs used on the system.

Direct Inputs 1 – 8 Input 1 – Input 8

S/PDIF Input Input 9

Priority Input 1 & 2 Input 10 & Input 11

Wall Panel Inputs 1 – 8 Input 15 – Input 22

Fiber Inputs 1 – 8 Input 23 – Input 30

Saving Options

Select Auto Save to set driver to automatically save current zone (output) settings (input, volume, bass, treble, scene, etc.). Enter Auto Save Delay to set the length (in seconds) of the delay from last action to saving the settings.

R2 Driver Commands

Set Volume, Set Mute, Set Zone Input

Each of these commands may be used for individual zones or for all zones. When configuring the command, select ‘Set All’ from ‘Adjustment Destination’ and ‘All Zones’ from ‘Output (Zone)’ parameters. That will adjust all zone as you designate as well as setting the ‘Master’ value for that variable.

Fiber Settings (Multiple Device Systems)

This set of commands is designed for Multiple Device Systems and will only be used on those systems. Please refer to the R2 User Manual for more information on setting up a Multiple Device System. The commands in this drive are designed to work similarly to Audac’s web interface.
