Applicable MSVPP commands
The table below lists the MSVPP commands that you may need to configure and control a
multi-player system. With the exception of
TCStart , which can only be an MSVPP command
(see the first NOTE, below), all of these commands can be also be accomplished using
the HTML pages, as shown in the “
Configuring LTC for Synchronized Multi-player
Operation “and “ Configuring Genlock for Synchronized Multi-player Operation “
examples on the pages that follow.
NOTE: When you have loaded a playlist with defined timecode parameters and you
then click the Play control ( ) to start the show, it has the same affect as issuing
the
TCStart command.
The commands sent to each player are the same, whether the show control computer is
connected to Remote port 1 or either LAN port.
NOTE: Click the blue links below to see the full command description in the
“Programming Guide“ section, including the complete command syntax,
variables, responses, and some examples.
Command Function
File management commands
LoadClip Load a clip into a specified channel or both channels.
— OR —
LoadPlaylist Load a playlist into a specified channel or both channels.
NOTE: The LoadClip and the LoadPlaylist commands both require a few seconds to complete
because of some initialization that must occur when a new file is selected. If you are using the media
player to repeatedly play a single file (such as in a theater) try using the
Loop command.
LTC commands
Tcgenerate hh:mm:ss:ff Set the player into LTC generate (master) mode and issues the LTC
hh:mm:ss:ff as a jam sync.
Tcreceive Set the player into LTC receive (slave) mode and loop the incoming LTC
to the LTC output.
GetTimecodeMode Check the status of the media player LTC mode: ‘Tcgenerate’ (master) or
‘Tcreceive’ (slave).
SetTimecodeOpMode Define the LTC operating mode as either ‘Chase’ (stay in sync) or
‘Trigger (respond to specific signal).
GetTimecodeOpMode Check the status of the media player when operating in TcReceive mode.
TcPlayAt <Chan> hh:mm:ss:ff Sets an LTC timestamp at which the loaded clip or playlist automatically
starts.
Tcstopat <Chan> hh:mm:ss:ff Sets an LTC timestamp at which the loaded clip or playlist automatically
stops. The display goes black after hh:mm:ss:ff.
TcStart Starts the LTC running (assumes the player is in LTC generate mode)
Genlock commands
SetGenlockMode <parameter> Set the media player genlock mode: master, ESGEN, MSGEN, NTSC,
PAL, or tri-level (HDTV).
GetGenlockMode Check the status of the media player genlock mode.
