iRidium for Biamp Tesira

A set of tools to create control interfaces for equipment by Biamp.

The documentation was updated on 10.2.2023

Description

Biamp Systems is a manufacturer of digital systems to process and distribute sound. PA and sound systems can be created based on Biamp audio platform. Tesira is their main product family.

Tested equipment:

• Tesira DAN CI.

Connection

Configuration is created in the native Tesira app.

The first step to integrate TesiraFORTÉ platfrom with iRidi and other software is to create a Tesira configuration file that includes blocks of USB inputs and outputs. Blocks of USB inputs and outputs can be entered in I/O Blocks menu in the Object Toolbar.

You can find a detailed desciption of preliminary setting of equipment and creation of a configuration file in Tesira Forte Manual.

Work in iRidium

1 Add Biamp Tesira driver in the DEVICES tab to a created project.

2 Enter the driver connection settings:

• Log Level - the level of logging;
• Host - IP-address of the camera;
• Port - port (23 by default);
• Login / Password - login and password for access to equipment with a protected project;
• Wait for Connect (ms) - time to wait for connection;
• Wait for Data (ms) - time to wait for feedback from equipment;
• SSL - a type of encrypting;
• Driver Version - a version of the driver.

Setting Commands and Feedback Channels

To control equipment it is required to set Commands and Feedbacks. To send a command, drag'n'drop it on a graphic item and enter a value to send. To display feedback drag'n'drop a feedback channel on a graphic item and choose how to output or display a value.

Read more about work with graphic items in the "Types of graphic items" article.

Commands

Enter command settings:

• Name - the name of a command;
• Block - a type of block in the native app тип (it influences a list of attributes that will be displayed);
• Attribute Code - a type of command / feedback channel;
• Instance Tag - a unique name that a user enters or Tesira app generates when a block is created;
• Index 1 - index of a commad / feedback. Usually it is the number of input / room/ channel / output (if the channel type is output);
• Index 2 - index of a commad / feedback. Usually it is the number of ouput;
• Command - a command sent to equipment:
  • get - get (any value);
  • set - set (input values, depending on a command);
  • toggle - switch (any value);
  • subscribe - subscription to request of values from equipment (value of a request period in ms, by default it is 1000);
  • unsubscribe - cancel of request subscription (any value);
  • increment - a step of value increase (input values, depending on a command);
  • decrement - a step of value decrease (input values, depending on a command).

The table gives a detailed description of setting parameters:

Feedbacks

Enter settings for feedback channels:

• Name - the name of a feedback channel;
• Block - a list of control blocks;
• Attribute Code - the code of a control attribute;
• Instance Tag - a unique name that a user enters or that isgeneratedby Tesira app when a block is created;
• Index 1 - the index of a feedback channel. Usually it is the number of an input / room / output (if the type of channel is output);
• Index 2 - the index of a feedback channel. Usually it is the number of an output.
• Polling Interval (sec) - a request interval (0 - no request).
