Connecting to Axia nodes
Setting up your Axia nodes to receive and send GPI/O with PlayoutONE is simple to do with Data Controller.
- In Data Controller, click Settings > Integrations to add a new integration
- Set your Axia node IP address, port (default 93) and password (if not connecting to the local Axia IP Driver running on 127.0.0.1)
- You can now activate by toggling the on / off switch.
🔌 Catching GPI/O events
Now you can set up the GPI/O events from Axia that you wish to capture by clicking on the command matrix from the main toolbar.
From here you can enter the commands manually or use the Build button to open the builder which edits or creates the correct syntax for the event you want to capture.
🎚️ PlayoutONE talking to AXIA
If you would like PlayoutONE to talk to Axia, you can use one of the following commands.
Please note: AXIA_GPI and AXIA_GPO require a permanent connection to an Axia node.
You can set a permanent connection in Data Controller as described above.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| AXIA_GPI_ID gpi.pin.state.time | Sets the state of an Axia GPI. gpi(int) = Axia GPI to target id(int) = The Wheatstone ID in Data Controller to communicate with pin(int) = Specific pin to target : state(string) = ON (High), OFF (Low), PULSE time(int) = Time in milliseconds after pin has been switched ON (high) we should wait before turning pin OFF (low). Only used for PULSE. Sample: AXIA_GPI 1.3.ON |
| AXIA_GPO_ID gpo.pin.state | Sets the state of an Axia GPI. id(int) = The Wheatstone ID in Data Controller to communicate with gpi(int) = Axia GPI to target pin(int) = Specific pin to target : state(string) = ON (High), OFF (Low), PULSE time(int) = Time in milliseconds after pin has been switched ON (high) we should wait before turning pin OFF (low). Only used for PULSE. Sample: AXIA_GPO 1.3.PULSE.500 |
| AXIA_DST ip:port_dst_addr_pwd | Sets Destination in an XNode. ip:port(string) = xnode to connect to. The default port is 93 dst(int) = xnode destination number addr(string) = axia channel multicast address pwd(string) = xnode login password. If not provided the default password is used AXIA_DST 192.168.1.3:93_1_239.192.4.80 |
| AXIA_SRC ip:port_src_addr_pwd | Sets Source in an XNode. ip:port(string) = xnode to connect to. The default port is 93 dst(int) = xnode source number addr(string) = axia channel multicast address pwd(string) = xnode login password. If not provided the default password is used AXIA_SRC 192.168.1.3:93_5_239.192.4.80 |
