Show Control Overview
In an Emphasis Control System, the Facepanel acts as a translator of the show control
protocol (ETC MIDI, MIDI Show Control, MIDI Notes, SMPTE time code). These protocols
are translated to “EMIDI” and “ESMPTE”. This simply indicates the protocol that has been
translated for network transmission.
You can use EMIDI and ESMPTE ID values to establish “transmission lines” within your
system. In a single Emphasis Control System, with one Facepanel and one Emphasis
Server, the transmission lines are easy to map. In an Emphasis Control System with
multiple Facepanels and Emphasis Servers, you can map from a Facepanel from one
system ID to the Emphasis Server on another system ID.
You can also use the EMIDI and ESMPTE ID values to create broadcast areas within a
multiple Emphasis Control System. For example, to have SMPTE time code input on a
Facepanel with an ESMPTE ID of “21” broadcast to multiple servers, set the ESMPTE
Receive value on those servers to “21” (see SMPTE, page 192 ). All servers with an
ESMPTE Receive value of “21” will be able to “hear” the incoming SMPTE.
N o t e :
MIDI In/Out is standard on all Express, Expression/Insight 2x/3/ECS variations.
SMPTE is available as a factory upgrade for Expression/Insight 2x/3/ECS facepanels
only. SMPTE is not supported on Express facepanels.
Verify your Facepanel has the SMPTE upgrade installed before using it with SMPTE time
code.
