16.24 Creating Rules
Codec 'rules' configure events based on specific codec actions. A range of default rules are
preprogrammed into the codec to facilitate activation of the most common events required by
broadcast engineers. Typically rules are based on a change in the state of a physical
CONTROL
PORT GPIO , or a WheatNet-IP logic IO, or a codec program being connected or disconnected.
There are three categories of rules:
1. Codec level rules: Rules based on programs or codec hardware and software I/O states,
e.g. Connect or disconnect a program when an input is toggled, or synchronize a local
input to a remote relay.
2. Program level rules: Rules based on codec behaviors at the program level, e.g. Connect
and disconnect program A when an input is toggled, or synchronize a local input to a
remote relay.
3. Stream level rules: Rules based on codec behaviors at the stream level, e.g. Synchronize
a local input to a remote relay.
There are three ways to create rules in the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI:
1. Rules panel : Configure codec level rules related to programs and/or hardware and
software I/O states.
2. Program Manager panel : Configure program level rules early in the Program Manager
panel wizard.
3. Program Manager panel : Configure stream level rules for each audio stream as you
proceed through the Program Manager panel wizard.
Important Notes:
· Rules can only be created with the Web-GUI while the codec is disconnected.
· Program and stream level rules configured in the Program Manager panel are only
active when the program is loaded.
· Bridge-IT codecs only support a single mono or stereo IP audio stream and therefore
Program level rules and Stream level rules are essentially identical.
Following is a summary of how codec, program and stream level rules are displayed in the Rules
panel when configured.
Enabling Data
Data is disabled by default and must be enabled to allow contact closure operation and
transmission of RS232 data. Select Enable Auxiliary Data when creating a program in the
Program Manager panel to enable RS232 data and activate rules employing relay reflection over
a connection. It is also possible to enable data using the front panel of the codec:
