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.
To add an Ember+ Device in Toolbox, go to <Device>/I/O Overview page. Click Add and select 52-7999 Ember GPI/GPO Connect.
You have now 50 GPIs and 50 GPOs and also control data for all assigned fader channels available to work with.
Note
The GPO node in the Ember+ tree is filtered. Only GPOs with a configured logic source are listed.
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.
Note
The Ember+ data are received and sent directly by the controller of the DSP Core for each mixing console. An interfacing PC is not necessary.
Note
The Ember+ implementation has been tested with the Ember+ Viewer and with VSM (Virtual Studio Manager).
Note
Ember+ runs on Port 9000 on all DHD devices.
Ember+ Audio Routing in DHD Devices
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.
Important
The I/O routing via Ember+ is available only for 52/XC2, 52/XS2, 52/XD2 cores (52-7420, 52-7423, 52-7410, 52-1810, 52-1830, 52-7456)
Ember+ Provider for DHDOS 52-8573
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.
