DRS
2006 Auto Device Control
Here is another additional module we developed for radio/TV stations. With this module you can remote control any audio/video device which supports a remote control over a RS232 port. But that's not all. You can program totally time based operations on multiple ports. For example you can switch a "Vertical Interval Switcher" over Com 1 and then start a video machine over Com 2.
This module works independent from the DRS 2006 system and lets you define your own devices. This could be anything which can be remote controlled over the RS232 interface. Give your device a name, set the options like port, baudrate, databits, stopbits, parity etc. (read the device manual) and then you can enter command sets just as you like to. Give the command a name like "Play" and then enter the command string like "OPL" or "123,64,32,23". All command strings can also be found in the manual of your audio/video device. Then you save these settings and program all actions totally time based. This works just like the DRS 2006 Autoplay Manager. Here we do not play sounds. Here we are using the com ports to send commands to any audio/video device. All commands can be strings, characters or decimal values, so all known formats can be used. It supports STX and ETX commands without any additional programming. Just one click! Automate your entire order of events.
Important: Set your Windows(r) clock format to hh:mm:ss before using the full automation! |
