Hello,
I'm looking for automation cues for USL JSD60 processor with a Barco Alchemy ICMP: it seems that it doesn't work with the common sintax jsd60.sys.fader\t700\r or jsd60.sys.fader\09700\0D.

Thanks!

jsd60.sys.fader\09700\0D

should work on TCP port 10001. You should try to send the commands to the JSD60 from a notebook, using a terminal to the IP and port you have configured in Communicator/ICMP automation device setup to adress the JSD60. Note, the JSD60 must be connected to one of the lower right ethernet ports on the Barco projector cinema controller board (just as your Communicator computer) - not one of the two LAN1/2 ICMP ethernet ports. The ICMP Gigabit ethernet ports are for ingest only.

The projector IP, Notebook IP and JSD60 IP need to be in the same network, e.g. 192.168.100.2 for projector CCB, 192.168.100.3 for JSD60, 192.168.100.10 for the Communicator computer/notebook.

If you're not familiar with sending TCP commands, the easiest way is using "telnet".

Telnet is available on many platforms, but under most recent Windows versions you need to install it.

Make sure your computer is in the same network as your USL processor and Alchemy ICMP. You should be able to "ping" the IP of both the ICMP and the processor.

Opening a connection is as easy as typing the following on the command line (e.g. CMD DOS box in Windows):

telnet <ip address of processor> 10001

If the connection times out or the connection is refused, something is wrong with your network configuration.

Thank you!
Anyway I'm quite familiar with these commands, but this time it was hard to find the solution. The syntax you suggested worked well only for format selection and mute/unmute, but for volume control I had to add a \ at the beginning of each command.
