Ember+ Configuration

The Ember+ protocol is available in the DHD Firmware. The implementation was realised as controlled device – the so-called Ember+ provider.

The following functions are currently featured:

• Receiving 50 GPIs per mixing console via Ember+.
• Sending 50 GPOs per mixing console via Ember+.
• receiving and sending global labels, for example to change labels of DHD fader channels or send text messages to a TFT screen.
• Controlling fader levels.
• Audio Routing.

Ember+ Device in I/O Device window

To add an Ember+ Device in TB8, go to <Device>/I/O Overview page. Click Add and select 52-7999 Ember GPI/GPO Connect.

Virtual Ember+ I/O Device

You have now 50 GPIs and 50 GPOs and also control data for all assigned fader channels available to work with.

The data transmission is realised via TCP/IP. The DHD system has to be connected by suitable network technology with the controlling system – the Ember+-Consumer – in order to allow this TCP/IP data transmission.

DHD devices provide the possibility to perform I/O routings within the DSP cores via Ember+. The Routing option is provided as Routing node in Ember+. To enable this option, simply add the 52-7999 Ember GPI/GPO Connect in your <Device>/I/O Overview page. The routing matrix visible in the Ember+-tree will include only physical inputs and physical outputs. For routing other signals available on the TDM bus, the Ember+ implementation of the DHDOS/DHDOM needs to be used. There you can create individual routing matrices with much more I/O options.

Ember+ functionality is also provided in DHDOS/DHDOM, for example to set crosspoints in routing matrices created with the DHD Routing Software. See DHDOS Documentation and DHDOM Documentation for more information.
