EDGEDEVICE.INI
This file, maintained using VMCC, configures
edge devices (console or rack-mount source or
source/destination selector panels) that receive
their information from the RMX
digital Server. An
edgedevice.ini
file example, for a single VM-
SSD selector panel, is shown below:

Although edge devices are typically served by a
VistaMax frame, they can be served by a console,
as shown above. This is typically only done when
the controlled destinations are the console’s KSU
card outputs. As shown, a dual selector panel (VM-
SSD) is configured so that the left buttons (identi-
fied as Button_1_1 thru 6) are hot source keys to
control the source for destination 1 (signal 243:
the KSU B analog output). The right hand but-
tons are conversely set as six destination selectors
(Button_2_1 thru 6) for signals 245 - 255: the
KSU C and D analog outputs and the four KSU
digital outputs).
Each destination covered by the edge device has
an included signal list (identified by the Include_1
and the Include_2 entries). Again, all of these en-
tries are set using the VMCC program, covered later
in this chapter and in Appendix A.
LOCAL_PUBLISH.CFG
This file, again created by VMCC following the
parameter entries entered into the program, lists
all of the sources and destinations on the console
by their In Room Names. It further identifies
whether the signal is hidden or not and whether it
is stereo linked. The following example of a
local_publish.cfg
file shows just a portion
of the KSU card audio signals:
;AudioSrc Card#: 46
src=161,MM1L
src=162,MM1R
src=163,MM2L
src=164,MM2R
src=165,{MM3,166
src=166,{MM3R
src=167,{MM4,168
src=168,{MM4R
;
;AudioDst Card#: 46
dst=241,KSU A ALG,242
dst=242,{NA1R
dst=243,KSU B ALG,244
dst=244,{NA2R
dst=245,KSU C ALG,246
dst=246,{NA3R
dst=247,KSU D ALG,248
dst=248,{NA4R
Each line identifies one signal as either a source
(
src=
) or a destination (
dst=
), along with two
characteristics: whether the signal is hidden and
whether it is mono or stereo. For example, the first
source shown:
src=161,MM1L
, identifies signal
161 as the left mix-minus signal for Telco 1. It is a
mono signal since the next entry (
src=162,MM1R
)
is not linked to the previous entry by a
,162
at
the end of the entry. Both signal 161 and 162 are
available and are not hidden (an open bracket, {,
placed in front of the name hides that signal from
