AVPROEDGE|MV41IP|2.1

Introduction

This driver has been designed to provide two-way control of AVPRO EDGE AC-MV-41, via TCP/IP. Ensure that the device is connected to the same network as the RTI processor and is accessible through its web interface. It is recommended that the device is set up with a static IP or reserved address on the router. Please make sure the device is correctly set up and working independently before integration with this driver.

Source Images

We have also provided a list of source images with this demo. To use these graphical images:

- Go to the default directory for Integration Designer files: My Documents\Integration Designer\Bitmap Libraries

- Create a new folder

- Place custom graphics in this new folder

Source images will appear as a new graphics library in the Bitmap Library Browser, identified by the name of the folder you have created. This custom library will appear each time you open Integration Designer.

Driver Setup Example

Select Layout Function

First, we need to enable layout switching for the user. To do this, assign the 'Select Layout' function to a button and set the layout parameter to match that button. Additionally, add feedback to indicate when a layout is active.

Select Input Function

After setting up layout selection, add buttons for input and tile selection. This allows the user to choose which input plays on each tile. If an input is assigned the analog parameter, it can only be used for audio switching.

Select Tile Function

The user can now load a layout and select an input. Pressing a tile will assign the selected input to that tile.

Select Audio Function

To let the user change the audio in multiview mode, add a button and assign the Switch Audio function. When the user presses this button, the audio switches to the selected input instead of assigning it to a tile.

Save Preset Function

There are two ways to save the current setup. The first is by using presets, which can be named in the config settings. Add two buttons: one to save the current setup to a preset, and one to recall it. After saving, the user can press the Recall Preset button to load the saved layout and input assignments.

Recall Preset Function

This button loads a saved preset, including the layout and input selections.

Save Default Function

The second method saves a default input selection for a layout. This selection will load automatically when the layout is selected. To use this, add the Save Default function to a button. When pressed, it saves the current input setup as the default for the active layout.

We also recommend checking the Integration Designer demo project, which shows how to set up the driver.

Troubleshooting

If the driver cannot control the AVPRO EDGE AC-MV-41 system, confirm the following:

The Ethernet switch used by the AVPRO EDGE AC-MV-41 system is correctly connected to the same network as the RTI processor.

The correct IP address is defined in the RTI driver properties for the AVPRO EDGE AC-MV-41 control interface.

Please be aware if you update to version 2.0

Due updating the Device description, the existing player sources should manually be renamed to Multiview.

Check all Audio Programming previously implemented if you are using tagging provided by the driver. This is due to four new sources for Zone 1-4 and changing the existing source to be called Multiview
