Extron electronic JMP 9600 Applicable MSVPP commands

Applicable MSVPP commands

The table below lists the MSVPP commands that you may need to congure 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 dened 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 Dene the LTC operating mode as either ‘Chase’ (stay in sync) or

‘Trigger (respond to specic 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)
