digital
in the form of: [source, destination]. Multiple routes
can be entered when they are separated by com-
mas, as in the following:
[161,241],[163,243],[165,245]
Pressing
Send takes the routes to the selected
console.
The entry example above routes the first three
mix-minus signals to the first three analog out-
puts on an RMX
digital console’s KSU card. If
routes are made between devices, then either the
universal signal ID form (e.g.,
D10.225
) or the
global number form must be used (e.g.,
65585
).
Both of these refer to the PGM 1 bus signals from
a console set as device 10.
UDP Commands
There is an alternate function to the Command
Client that allows UDP commands from peripher-
als like digital delivery systems or programming
automation systems to function like the Command
Client to remotely load session or macro files and
to take routes.
To command a VistaMax device using UDP com-
mands, the following line is entered into the
nqx.ini
file—in lieu of the previous command
line that allowed manual takes and file loading
from the Command Client:
VMCS_Port = 2002,U ;UDP protocol
The commanding device would then use stan-
dard UPD command protocol to load a session
file (again using the session or macro name with
suffix) and, by using the source and destination
structure that was shown above, be able to take
routes on any device that has the UDP entry line
in their
nqx.ini
file.
VMCC OPERATIONS ERRATA
The VMCC program released with the rev D ver-
sion of the 99-5000 CD-ROM is build 2044. The
following operational tips and function warnings
apply to this build. Each build of the VMCC soft-
ware includes a ReleaseNotes.txt file in the VMCC
folder (
C : \ P r o g r a m F i l e s \ H a r r i s
Corp\VistaMax Control Center
is the de-
fault path to the folder). The latest release build is
available for downloading from the Harris con-
sole FTP site (see page 5-1 for access details).

VMCC currently allows multiple files to be saved
with the same name. To avoid confusion, assign a
unique name for each new community.
Editing Card Complement on a Device
When editing the card complement on a device,
wait for the processing to complete or errors may
be introduced. Processing is complete once the
community text blinks.

VMCC does not limit the number of Telco chan-
nels that can be assigned. Do not set more than
six channels as Telco channels.
Signal Naming Conventions
VistaMax devices, like the BMX
d console, can
show a 10-character source name or session file
name in their displays. The displayed source names
may be either the In Room Name or the Commu-
nity Name plus other identifiers. The type of name
used is determined by which Tier Naming Con-
vention is set on each device in the community.
The Tier Naming Convention is set in the de-
vice edit pane, just above the Source Include List.
The default setting is Convention 1, which uses
the In Room names in all local and device publish
files. This is mainly used in smaller installations
