To Configure a Room for the AMP Protocol

Set up a Room to use the AMP protocol to control server channels.

Note: When controlling the server from a remote device over ethernet, you must select the port as 3811 and then select the channel you want to send the commands to.
  1. Launch the Tria Config application.

    You may be prompted to allow the program to make changes on the computer, click Yes.

  2. Click the RS422 tab.


  3. Click Room X Configuration and select the room you want to configure. Later you will assign this room to a channel.
  4. In the RS422 Protocol area, select AMP over Ethernet.
  5. In the Edit Timing area, select a timing offset for when you are controlling the server from an external editor over serial.
    • Timecode Alignment — select the offset, in frames, of the timecode information that is sent to the editor during playout or record.
    • Source Alignment — select the offset, in frames, of the timecode information that is sent to the editor during playout.
    • Out Point Offset — select the offset, in fields, of the out-point timecode value that is sent to the editor during record.
  6. In the Video Edit Effect area, select which tracks get recorded when an external editor issues the Video Record command to the server.
    • Edit Video Track — only the video track is recorded.
  7. In the AMP Protocol Configuration area at the bottom of the window, select specific configurations for the protocol you are using.
    • Select Disable field timecode reporting to force the server to report timecode only once every video frame. If this option is not selected, the server reports timecode every field.
    • Select Allow overlapped commands to allow the server to accept overlapping commands.
    • Select Allow playlists control to allow a playlist to be cued and played from an external device just like a clip.
    • Select Inhibit file extensions (.mov and .mxf) in clip ids to hide file extensions in clip IDs.
    • Select the Protocol ID that you want to use (Abekas 6000, Sony BVW-75, or Generic DDR).
  8. Click on the Ch-X: list and select the room that you want to assign to the channel.
  9. Click Restart Tria. A confirmation dialog box is displayed.
  10. Click Restart Tria to restart the server application and services with the new setting.
  11. Click OK when the restart has completed to dismiss the window.
