15 TSL, Andromeda, Encoda and Kalypso
TSL, Andromeda, Encoda and Kalypso are third-party devices that supply Kaleido with tally information and dynamic text for UMDs, Text Labels and Tallies.
The interface between Kaleido and third-party devices is managed using Miranda's iControl system. Each such device is addressed by Kaleido using its MirandaLongID, which is an address within the iControl protocol. This address must be installed manually on the Kaleido by the user.
The address can be found using the iNavigator application, which is part of iControl, once the device is installed on the network.
All components in a Kaleido layout that obtain information from a third-party device require the Service ID of that device to be entered at their configuration panel. The Service ID is either the Miranda LongID, or an alias that points to the LongID. An alias is a user-selected term that is easier to remember and enter than the LongID.
To install a device's LongID (and preferably an alias) on the Kaleido-K2, proceed as follows:
- First, get the service's Long ID:
- From your Kaleido-K2's desktop, double click on the icon "My Computer".
- Navigate to "C:\iControl\Startup\" and open the file "Kaleido.log" using the Notepad (right click on the "Kaleido.log" file and select "Notepad" from the "Open With" menu).
- Within Notepad, press "Ctrl-F" or select "Find..." from the Edit menu and in the "Find What" section enter "serviceAdded called for ID:".
Each entry found will give you the Miranda Long ID of an iControl service found on the network. Continue looking through the file until you find the Long ID of your TSL, Andromeda or Encoda.The Long ID of a TSL should have the following form:10.9.8.7_COM1_TSLThe Long ID of an Andromeda should have the following form:10.9.8.7_COM1_UMD_00_SLOTXX_MODULEIDXXXXThe Long ID of an Encoda should have the following form:10.9.8.7_COM1_ENCODAThe Long ID of a Kalypso should have the following form:10.9.8.7_COM1_KALYPSO- Find the file C:\Icontrol\Startup\KG2Config.xml on the Kaleido frame and open it in Notepad. The service for the third-party device will be added in the section <OtherServices>, which will look like this:
<OtherServices><!-- Use the same syntax as above to find services other than Kaleido Services --><!-- AlphaNumeric Label is permitted here, example below:--><Service ServiceLabel="service1" id="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" /> --></OtherServices>- Supported third-party devices will then be added into this section as per the indicated format. See the Installation Guide for more detailed instructions on installing and connecting to third-party devices.
TSL (supplies dynamic text for UMDs and Text Labels, and Tally statuses)<Service ServiceLabel="TSL" id="192.168.1.2_COMX_TSL" />Where:
- TSL (within the quotes) is the alias (and could be any user-selected name);
- 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of the TSL (as found using iNavigator);
- X in COMX_TSL is the COM port number assigned to the TSL service during the installation.
Andromeda (Phillips) (supplies dynamic text for UMDs and Text Labels, and Tally statuses).<Service ServiceLabel="PHIL" id="10.3.4.9_COM1_UMD_00_SLOTXX_MODULEIDXXXX" />Where:- PHIL (within the quotes) is the alias (and could be any user-selected name);
- 10.3.4.9 is the IP address of the Kaleido (use the actual IP address of your Kaleido),
- COM1 must be replaced by COM2 if you have configured the system to use the COM2 port,
- The remainder of the text is exactly as shown
Encoda (supplies dynamic text for UMDs and Text Labels)<Service ServiceLabel="ENC" id="192.145.10.2_COMX_ENCODA" />Where:- ENC (within the quotes) is the alias (and could be any user-selected name);
- 192.145.10.2 is the IP address of the Encoda (as found using iNavigator);
- X in COMX_ENCODA is the COM port number assigned to the Encoda service during the installation.
Kalypso (supplies dynamic text for UMDs and Text Labels, and Tally statuses).<Service ServiceLabel="KAL" id="10.5.4.8_COM1_KALYPSO" />Where:- KAL (within the quotes) is the alias (and could be any user-selected name);
- 10.5.4.8 is the IP address of the Kalypso (as found using iNavigator);
- COM1 must be replaced by COM2 if you have configured the system to use the COM2 port,
- The remainder of the text is exactly as shown
If all four of these services are installed (as an example), the "Other Services" section becomes:<OtherServices><!-- Use the same syntax as above to find services other than Kaleido Services --><!-- AlphaNumeric Label is permitted here, example below:--><Service ServiceLabel="service1" id="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" /> --><Service ServiceLabel="TSL" id="192.168.1.2_COM4_TSL" /><Service ServiceLabel="PHIL" id="10.3.4.9_COM1_UMD_00_SLOTXX_MODULEIDXXXX" /><Service ServiceLabel="ENC" id="192.145.10.2_COMX_ENCODA" /><Service ServiceLabel="KAL" id="10.5.4.8_COM1_KALYPSO" /></OtherServices>Now, you may enter the alias TSL, PHIL, ENC or KAL as the ServiceID in configuration panels for UMDs and Text Labels to identify one of these third-party devices as the source of their dynamic text.
You may choose any convenient name for the alias; for example, the Phillips alias could be Dyn:
<Service ServiceLabel="Dyn" id="10.3.4.9_COM1_UMD_00_SLOTXX_MODULEIDXXXX" />
