Command Protocol Reference Guide
A - 7
As an example of a virtual channel group, consider in the following figure the
creation of the virtual channel group “Mics” made up of the entire collection
of individual microphone virtual channels in a room. Once the virtual channel
group “Mics” has been created, it is possible to configure and control all the
microphones at the same time by operating on the “Mics” virtual channel
group.
It is possible to have multiple virtual channel groups that include the same
virtual channels. Commands can be sent to the particular virtual channel
group will affect the members of the group and those members will respond
with the appropriate command acknowledgements.
SoundStructure Command Syntax
The description of the control protocol syntax in this section and elsewhere in
this document refers to Unicode characters in four-digit hex format, such as
002A which is the asterisk character in the Basic Latin code page. This is
consistent with references such as The Unicode Standard.
The control protocol consists of text-based, human-readable commands and
status messages. Binary data transfers are possible (for example, transferring
configuration files or sending meter data), but these transfers are initiated with
text-based, human readable commands. The commands use the UTF-8
encoding for characters.
Warning
Multiple virtual channel groups may include the same virtual channels, in other
words, a virtual channel can belong to more than one virtual channel group.
