jsd100.sys.mute\t1\r

1

Sets or reads the current mute status of the JSD-100. If the supplied
parameter is 1, the system is muted. If the supplied parameter is 0,
the system is unmated. If no parameter is supplied, the mute status
of the system remains unchanged. The command always returns
the current mute status of the system. If the command includes a
parameter, the new mute status is returned. If no parameter is
supplied, the current mute status is returned.

jsd100.sys.sleep\t120\r

120

Sets or reads the sleep timer. If no parameter is provided, the JSD-
100 returns the number of minutes until it will go to sleep. This
timer is reset to the sleep timeout value on output audio presence,
format change, or fader level change. If a parameter is provided,
the sleep timer is set to the specified number of minutes. If there is
output audio, a format change, or a fader level change, the sleep
timer is set to its timeout value. If the parameter to this command
is non-zero and the system is sleeping, the system will wake up.


DCS Configuration
A Digital Cinema Server is normally configured to send commands to the JSD-100 over Ethernet or RS-232 at
appropriate times during content play out. The user needs to configure macros to send commands to the JSD-100.
Servers vary in how control characters (such as tab and carriage return) are entered. The table below lists a few
servers and how control characters are entered. Consult the Knowledge Base on the USL website for updates to
this list.

Control Code Entry

Dolby

Automation commands are currently only supported over RS-232, not Ethernet. In Show
Manager, on the "serial automation" system page, there is a "termination" field where you
can put byte codes to be added to the end of each command. By default the system
includes "\0A" (line feed) in this field, but you can change it "\0D" (carriage return) or any
other sequence. This will terminate each automation string. To insert a tab in an
automation string, use “\09”.

Doremi

Use "\r" to send a carriage return at the end of a string defined for a raw device. Use “\t”
to inset a tab in an automation string. Use “\w” to insert a short wait in a command.

GDC

GDC directly supports commands for the JSD-100.
