Amb-OS Media AMR-100I, Operation Manual, Page: 10 / 52

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
File Reception
The AMR-100-I receives programs as audio files via the Internet and stored on an internal
hard drive. The audio files must either be scheduled to played out the audio ports or copied to
your automation system. Please see the Amb-OS User Interface to schedule and copy
programs. Download the Amb-OS User Interface manual at
www.amb-os.com/support.html .
After the file is successfully received, the station may play the file out the analog and digital
ports for a program to air or to record for later playback. The file also can be copied from the
receiver to an automation system through a local network at the station. The Amb-OS
Interface Utility does this for you. Download this program at
www.amb-os.com/support.html .
The AMR-100-I verifies the integrity of the received file and communicates back to the
uplink server to receive any missing packets or even reload a complete file. The
IP Address
Change section describes how to set up the AMR-100-I to a proper internal network address
and has the correct address to communicate with the uplink server. Files are automatically
deleted at some time after their air date, as specified by the program producer.
File Playback
Targets
General Description of Targets
The audio outputs are called “ Targets ” and there are only three types of targets. Each target
begins with the letter “T.”
1. The audio outputs are T1 and T2 (Target 1 and 2) and include the digital outputs (see the
digital output description). These can be addressed as separate mono left and right ports:
T1L, T1R, T2L and T2R. Without the “L” or “R” designations, the output is in stereo.
2. The receiver can create an Ethernet stream that can be decoded by another computer or
by an appliance dedicated to decoding streams. The Ethernet stream must have an IP
address and a port. T224.0.0.1:5004 means the target is IP address 224.0.0.1 and port
5004. Your network engineer must give you an IP address that allows for a multicast
stream on your local network.
3. A file can be recorded to allow a receiver to take a live program and record for later
playback. The name of the file must have a “T” before the name
(Trecordedprogram.MP2). TFOCUS_DAILY.MP2, where “T” means the target and
“FOCUSDAILY.MP2” would be the file name on the receiver.
