IP Control??

Have a job coming up where we're using a heap of the HD2000's that are being controlled via an AMX control system. Our current solution just uses relays to make contact closeures on the jammer ports.

Is there a way to control the HD2000 over IP?

  You could send UDP commands over the network, but not TCP commands. You can send strings via UDP.

  What UDP port I have to use, and do you have list for the the command protocol/strings?

  can you send me an email at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:support@brightsign.biz">support@brightsign.biz</a><!-- e -->, and explain what you're trying to do? You can use any udp port you want. You just need to set the port in the interactive playlist.
  
  
  
  You can use an interactive playlist to accept different strings and each string to play a different file.
  
  
  
  I have a control script I can send you that has some basic control commands like play, play clear, stop, stop clear, loop, and search. But, depending on what you want to do, the interactive playlist might work for you as well.

  Ok,
  
  
  
  I sent you a modified autorun that accepts udp commands as events on the hd2000. It also allows you to send a string after a file plays. The attached autoplay.csv accomplishes what you described.
  
  
  
  1. The unit starts up and goes to a black screen
  
  2. If the string "loop" is sent, it plays attract.mpg, which loops indefinitely unless it gets another command.
  
  3. if the string "main" is sent, then main.mpg plays. At the end of which, it sends "PLYEND" and goes back to playing attract.mpg
  
  4. if the string "stop" is sent, then the unit clears screen.
  
  
  
  There is no standby mode as the unit is always powered up. All you can do is stop playback, or use some other mechanism for cutting power to the unit.
  
  
  
  The autoplay.csv file has port values you can change, and a destination IP address you can change, for when the unit sends a reply after playing main.
