Provided under MIT license

Overview

The Tesira plugin provides device control over the Biamp Tesira family of DSPs with regards to the most commonly used and requested attriute and control types.

Compatibility

This plugin has been tested with both Crestron 3-Series and 4-Series processors. It implements all available essentials interfaces relevant to a device of this type. This includes but is not limited to AudioCodecBase, IHasDspPresets, IBasicVolumeWithFeedback, IRoutingWithFeedback and IDeviceInfoProvider. Documentation for which controls implement each interface will be documented in each relevant controls section. Additionally, every component implements IKeyed and all devices are added to the DeviceManager unpon instantiation.

Cloning Instructions

After forking this repository into your own GitHub space, you can create a new repository using this one as the template. Then you must install the necessary dependencies as indicated below.

Dependencies

The Essentials libraries are required. They referenced via nuget. You must have nuget.exe installed and in the PATH environment variable to use the following command. Nuget.exe is available at nuget.org.

Installing Dependencies

To install dependencies once nuget.exe is installed, run the following command from the root directory of your repository: nuget install .\packages.config -OutputDirectory .\packages -excludeVersion. To verify that the packages installed correctly, open the plugin solution in your repo and make sure that all references are found, then try and build it.

Feature Notes

Version 2.0.0+ now offers developers the opportunity to individually bridge each control rather than the entire DSP object. This should lead to more flexibility in development. In documentation below, all references to the original object type will be referred to as Legacy, while new object data will be referred to as Standalone

When utilizing a standalone object within a Eisc bridge, it is addressed utilizing first the name of the base device, followed by a pair of two hyphens, then the key of the component.

It is exceptionally important that all keys are unique. In a future version, it's likely that this naming convention will become more verbose, but as of now, to prevent key names from being ridiculously long, I've opted to trust users to police themselves.

For a parent device with a key of dsp-1 and a component with the key of Fader01, the Standalone component key is dsp-1--Fader01.

The only exception to this rule is for the Base Standalone object, which has a key suffix of DeviceInfo

Important to note this version of the plugin currently implements both eiscApi and EiscApiAdvanced as valid bridge types

"type": "eiscApiAdvanced"

Installation

This plugin is provided as a published nuget package for your convenience.

Place the *.cplz file in the /users/programxx/plugins folder, and restart your program.

Controls and Configs

DeviceInfo

This object is built by default with a Biamp Tesira DSP and provides a method to send hardware-specific data across the bridge to SIMPL

This data is only accessible by linking the device to the bridge. The component key is always DeviceInfo - therefore when a Biamp Tesira DSP with the key dsp-1 is instantiated, a DeviceInfo component with the key of dsp-1--DeviceInfo will be added to the DeviceManager and will be accessible to any Essentials Bridge.

This device will also allow a direct passthru connection to the device if necessary and a method by which to trigger control resubscription.

If you do not choose to bridge a Standalone object, limited data is available on the Legacy object.

This control implements Essentials interfaces IDeviceInfoProvider and IKeyed

Level / Mute

Controls objects with the attribute type of "level" or "mute" and subscribes to them as necessary.

This component only reports the level of the audio signal relative the the adjustable range

Within the Legacy object, this Join map represents a control that is part of an array of controls. Each join number = Join Map Number + fader bridgeIndex as defined by the config.

Within the Standalone object, this join map represents a single control as defined by the key in the bridge.

This Control implements Essentials interfaces IKeyed and IBasicVolumeWithFeedback

Presets

If you intend to ONLY do direct preset calling by string, this object is NOT required to recall presets. This activity is provided by the base level device object for the Tesira DSP. It is also provided by the Standalone object Presets. This config object is required regardless of control object if preset control iby index is required.

}

In the provided example config object, given a base object key of dsp-1, this control would have a standalone key of dsp-1--Presets.

Config Notes

label - Passed directly across the eisc as the Label value. presetName - the actual name of the preset as defined in biamp software presetID - the ID of the preset as defined in biamp software presetIndex - the index of the preset for the digital press recall

If a presetName is defined, you don't need a presetId and vice versa. One or the other will be fine. If you are utilizing the "select preset by name" methodology, no presets need be defined in config.

Dialer

VoIP Controls are tested

POTS Controls are added, but as of yet untested.

DTMF is automatically managed based on current hook state.

Within the Legacy object, this Join map represents a control that is part of an array of controls. Each join number = Join Map Number + (1 + (50 * (n- 1))), where n is the index of the dialer as defined by bridgeIndex.

For example, Incoming Call for Line 1 would be at join 3101, while the incoming call for Line 2 would be at join 3151.

Within the Standalone object, this join map represents a single control as defined by the key in the bridge.

This control implements Essentials interfaces AudioCodecBase and IKeyed

RoomCombiner

Controls Biamp Tesira RoomCombiner objects. Control of LevelOut, MuteOut, and group selection is supported.

MuteOut is not a subscribed control for this block. Polling is simulated on each trigger of the mute, but there is no unsolicited feedback for mute status.

In order to keep the types of joins similar to a standard fader object, the choice was made to not provide direct control for wall states in this component. If direct wall state control is required, utilize a State Control block.

Within the Legacy object, this Join map represents a control that is part of an array of controls. Each join number = Join Map Number + roomCombiner bridgeIndex as defined by the config.

Within the Standalone object, this join map represents a single control as defined by the key in the bridge.
