SPDIF Digital Audio?

Hello, What is the status of the 'Expansion Module' with regard to the SPDIF Digital Audio output? I have a project that will require a SPDIF Digital Audio connection. The physical connection can be either:TOSLINK optical or RCA 75 ohm. Also, is there anything special that has to be done in Bright Author to get the output to function? Thanks, Matt L.

    BrightAuthor doesn't currently use the expander.

    We would have to edit the autorun that brightauthor uses to force spdif out. So, we would use BrightAUthor normally, and then after publishing, edit the autorun.brs.

    In the initializevideozone function, the following line has been commented out:
       ' videoPlayer.SetAudioOutput(zone.audioOutput%)

    You can change it to and add a second l ine:
    videoPlayer.SetAudioOutput(1)
    videoPlayer.MapDigitalOutput(1)


    You need to be running 3.2.67 or later.

    Hello,

    I have tried the above change, but the Optical audio still doesn't work...  Any other suggestions?

    Thanks,

    What port is the audio coming from even after your changes?

    We can try a simple script and see if the audio is moved properly...

    Hello Lyndon,

    Currently, the HD1010 is receiving it's signal from the Video Module.  The video portion is being received without issue.  Not sure how to answer the rest of your question.  When will BrightAuthor support the expansion module?  We have 7 units that will have to be programmed by "admin assistants" and manual programming of the 'autorun' file will not be acceptable.  Please advive...

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Are you available later this afternoon, maybe around 3PM PST?

    I believe expander support will be added to BrightAuthor 2.1. I'll verify. That will be by the end of this quarter, if it makes it into 2.1.

    Does BrightAuthor v.2.2.0.39 support the expansion module? 

    Thanks,
