Extron electronic JMP 9600 manual Applicable Msvpp commands, LTC commands, Genlock commands

Applicable MSVPP commands

The table below lists the MSVPP commands that you may need to configure and control a multi-player system. With the exception of TCStart, which can only be an MSVPP command (see the first NOTE, below), all of these commands can be also be accomplished using

the HTML pages, as shown in the “Configuring LTC for Synchronized Multi-player Operation“and “Configuring Genlock for Synchronized Multi-player Operation“ examples on the pages that follow.

NOTE: When you have loaded a playlist with defined timecode parameters and you

then click the Play control () to start the show, it has the same affect as issuing the TCStart command.

The commands sent to each player are the same, whether the show control computer is connected to Remote port 1 or either LAN port.

NOTE: Click the blue links below to see the full command description in the

“Programming Guide“ section, including the complete command syntax,

variables, responses, and some examples.

Command	Function
File management commands
LoadClip	Load a clip into a specified channel or both channels.
— OR —
LoadPlaylist	Load a playlist into a specified channel or both channels.

NOTE: The LoadClip and the LoadPlaylist commands both require a few seconds to complete

because of some initialization that must occur when a new file is selected. If you are using the media player to repeatedly play a single file (such as in a theater) try using the Loop command.

LTC commands

Tcgenerate hh:mm:ss:ff	Set the player into LTC generate (master) mode and issues the LTC
	hh:mm:ss:ff as a jam sync.
Tcreceive	Set the player into LTC receive (slave) mode and loop the incoming LTC
	to the LTC output.
GetTimecodeMode	Check the status of the media player LTC mode: ‘Tcgenerate’ (master) or
	‘Tcreceive’ (slave).
SetTimecodeOpMode	Define the LTC operating mode as either ‘Chase’ (stay in sync) or
	‘Trigger (respond to specific signal).
GetTimecodeOpMode	Check the status of the media player when operating in TcReceive mode.
TcPlayAt <Chan> hh:mm:ss:ff Sets an LTC timestamp at which the loaded clip or playlist automatically
	starts.
Tcstopat <Chan> hh:mm:ss:ff Sets an LTC timestamp at which the loaded clip or playlist automatically
	stops. The display goes black after hh:mm:ss:ff.
TcStart	Starts the LTC running (assumes the player is in LTC generate mode)

Genlock commands

SetGenlockMode <parameter>	Set the media player genlock mode: master, ESGEN, MSGEN, NTSC,
	PAL, or tri-level (HDTV).
GetGenlockMode	Check the status of the media player genlock mode.
