Programming AMX Controllers for a Kaleidescape System

Page 27

The number of lines to be displayed on the touch panel must be defined for every

SATP virtual device. Define the number of lines using a send_command to the

virtual device.

send_command KPLAYER6, 'lines 16'

The module allocates 16 lines for the touch panel. The lines command can be

resent at any time, which is helpful if the same virtual device is accessed by

different sized panels.

Keypad Setup

Keypad controls piggyback on the SATP virtual devices. The ID command for

keypad controls uses the same syntax as ID commands for SATP control.

send_command KPLAYER6, 'ID 06.01'//Music Player, Zone 1

After the lines are defined, the SATP interface functions as described in SATP setup

above. If the module is given a Preset ID, the keypad presets API is available.

send_command KPLAYER6, 'PRESET ID House'

//use the ”House” presets

This command instructs the module to use the tags House1 through House10 for

channels 121 through 130.

If a music collection is defined to step through, then the keypad music collection

API becomes available.

send_command KPLAYER6, 'COLLECTION 1 Genres'

Now the first set of collection browsing buttons steps through the Genre collection.

131 causes the first item in Genre collection to play (All music), 132 causes the next

item in Genre collection to play, and 133 causes the previous item in Genre

collection to play.

Calibrating the touch interface

If the OSD Video template is used, the touch panel must be calibrated to enable the

user to touch the video feed. This calibration must be performed IN ADDITION to

calibrating the AMX touch panel itself.

Once the system is functioning, press the Kaleidescape logo in the upper left corner

of the OSD touch panel to bring up the Kaleidescape menu. On a Premiere line

system, highlight System, select Status and then use the left/right arrows to select

System Setup. On Alto and Cinema One (2

generation), highlight System then select

Settings and then use the up/down arrows to select Advanced. From there, select the

Calibrate Touch Panel entry and follow the instructions.

Calibration information is stored in the player itself. Each zone used for OSD Video

control must be calibrated.
