D*AP8 MAP
7
Control concept
The communication between the X*AP RM
1
remote panel, the D*AP8 unit, setup and operating tools, is
based on TCP/IP over Ethernet.
The setup GUI utilizes web technology. At the time of editing this manual the functionality of the web GUI is
optimized for Firefox 45.x and higher.
The setup GUI can be complemented by other application programs running on MS Windows® XP,
W7, 8, 10 like the J.A. Application Manager J*AM.
An SNMP agent is also available on the device and may be explored via a SNMP monitoring system.
For 3
rd
party remote control Junger Audio highly recommends using the l-s-b EmBER+ protocol which is
widely distributed in the European broadcast industry where the user community is rapidly increasing
world wide. By the way, the X*AP RM
1
remote panel and the D*AP8 unit "talk" Ember natively.
Operating concept
Further below you will see that the setup GUI for the device is grouped into several parameter areas.
You can reach the parameters via a 3-tier navigation via tabs which may have sub tabs and sub tabs may
have page embedded tabs or extra soft buttons for groups of parameters.
Each function block (parameter area) has dedicated presets. The presets can be recalled at any time during
operation, either by manual intervention via the web technology based GUI, automatically by the internal
event manager or by external applications.
For all relevant settings an ON AIR and a PRESET part exists. I.e. you may either edit the parameters
ON AIR or offline for the respective function block of the D*AP8.
The presets of the D*AP8 MAP are persistent by nature. You are working directly on the preset memory, i.e.
you must not worry about storing such presets. The D*AP8 MAP does it for you.
Event concept
The D*AP8 MAP incorporates a sophisticated event management system.
Events may be combined to perform actions. The D*AP8 MAP offers these event types:
* Preset Events for System set-up, Interfaces, Routing, Audio Processing, Dolby related settings etc.
* I/O Events for GPOs
* Measurement Events for pre-configured measurement scenarios
These events may be combined with Actions which are fired by Triggers.
Triggers are defined by a logical combination (AND, OR, XOR) of two random trigger sources.
A trigger source may be GPIs, hotkeys of the X*AP RM
1
remote panel, network commands, parameters,
other active events, other active triggers (nested trigger), or device status information (e.g. sync lost).
