Introduction

This document explains how to integrate theMediasite Rich Media Recorder(RL Series) into anAudio/Visual (AV) controlled environment usingMediasite Control Interface Protocol (MCIP). Theintended audience for this document includes AV integrators and Sonic Foundry partners whoare integrating the Recorder into an AV controlled environment.

OverviewMCIP is a specification published by Sonic Foundry for developing modules that allow the RLSeries Recorder to be easily integrated into an AV controlled environment.

To use the Recorder in an AV controlled environment:

1. The Mediasite Communications Service on the Recorder must be started.2. A module for the Recorder must be developed and deployed. This module, which resides on

the AV controller, recognizes the Recorder and sets up communication with the Recorderover a serial interface.

3. A user interface to control the Recorder must be designed and deployed.4. Any additional control logic program that may be needed to link the user interface and the

module on the AV controller must be designed and deployed.5. The RL Series Recorder must be connected to an AV control system using a serial cable. The

RL Series Recorder communicates with the AV control system using serial communicationsover RS-232 protocol. Most AV control systems support a 9-pin female, D-sub connector anduse a null modem serial cable.

The level of development that needs to be done depends on which one of the following scenariosfor Recorder AV system integration is used. The scenarios are listed in increasing order ofdifficulty:

1. System integration using Sonic Foundrys Crestron certified control module for the MP2EMedia Processor with the sample user interface (for the TPS-5000 Touch Panel) or analternative user interface.

2. System integration using a control module for any AV control system (e.g. Crestron or AMX)with a user interface.

MCIP Recorder operations setMCIP allows the integration of the Recorder into any AV controlled system by providing a set ofoperations that enables the user to communicate to the Recorder over a RS-232 (serial)connection. MCIP supports the following Recorder operations:

Recorder controls

The following Recorder controls are available:


5/26


Enable/disable verbose status toggle: Enable or disable verbose status notifications. Whenenabled, the Recorder will send messages, asynchronously, to the control system as they

occur. When disabled, the control system must continuously poll the Recorder for its status.This feature is enabled by default.

Publish recorded presentation to CD: Publish the last presentation recorded with theRecorder to a CD.

Set audio record level: Set the audio record level. Select image preset: Select image preset settings from a list of profiles. Encode Video In: Send the Video input to Video Out Encode Image In: Send the Image input to Video Out Encode Image In with PiP: Send the Image input with video overlayed to Video Out Enable/disable Favor widescreen image capture toggle: Enable or disable favoring of

widescreen image capture.

Recorder feedback

The following feedback can be retrieved from the Recorder:

Slide count: The current image number for the presentation being recorded. Record time: The amount of time that has elapsed since user began recording presentation. Status: The current status of the Recorder Idle, Record, Busy, Publish. Message: The status of presentation being recorded Presentation Available, Presentation

Not Available.

Error (communication and control): Communication and control error messages from theRecorder.

Recorder model and version: The model and version of the Recorder. Current audio input level: The current audio input level into the recorder. Low audio warning indicator: A warning that audio input levels are too low. Audio record level: The audio level the recorder is set to record at. Recorder disk space: The amount of empty space left on the hard disk. Preset image settings: A list of preset image settings.

Recording new presentations

When preparing to record a new presentation, the following task can be done:

Select an encoding profile: Select an encoding profile from a list of encoding profiles on theRecorder.

Select a presentation template: Select a presentation template from a list of presentationtemplates on the Mediasite Server.


6/26


Todays Presentations Only: Open and select a scheduled presentation from a list ofpresentations scheduled for today only for recording and/or live broadcasting.

Presentation details: Display date and time in addition to id and title when opening ascheduled presentation.To record or publish a scheduled presentation, the Mediasite Server must be available. Formore information about the MCIP specification, please refer to Appendix 1: MCIP protocolspecification on page 13.

Scenarios for Recorder AV system integration

The two scenarios for Recorder AV system integration using MCIP are listed in increasing orderof difficulty:

1. Integration using Sonic Foundrys Crestron certified control module for the MP2E MediaProcessor with the sample user interface or an alternative user interface.

2. Integration using a control module for any AV control system with a user interface.Refer to the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com) or the AMX website (http://www.amx.com) to see the many alternative control systems and user interfaces available.

Scenario #1Using the Crestron Sample Control Module with the sample user interface or analternative user interface

The Recorder can be integrated into an AV controlled system using Sonic Foundrys Crestroncertified control module. The module can then be used with the sample user interface describedlater in this document or an alternative user interface. This scenario allows the Recorder to beintegrated with the least amount of effort.

Highlights

The highlights of this scenario are:

The programs are developed by Sonic Foundry and used to verify an implementation of theMCIP on the controller and the touch panel. Sonic Foundry provides no warranty for theseprograms.

The control module for the Crestron MP2E is certified by Crestron. The control module canalso be used on other 2-Series control systems from Crestron. However, this has not beentested.**

The sample user interface provided for the TPS-5000 Touch Panel has been certified byCrestron. The sample user interface implements all of the functions specified in MCIP. Theuser interface can be easily customized to change the look and feel or to accommodate asubset of the MCIP functionality using alternative Crestron touch panels and remote controls.

Software layers and hardware

Software layers for the control system and the hardware for in Scenario #1 are shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Software layers and hardware for Scenario #1

Crestron Sample Control Module with the sample user interface

If Sonic Foundrys Crestron certified control module for the MP2E Media Processor and thesample user interface for the Crestron TPS-5000 Touch Panel are both used, the development

needed to implement MCIP is already done.In this instance, the Mediasite Communications Service on the Recorder just needs to be started.

To integrate the Recorder using Sonic Foundrys sample Crestron control module and userinterface, the following hardware is needed:

Crestron TPS-5000 12 Inch Tilt Touch Panel Crestron MP2E Media Processor Crestron TPS-VID-1/TPS-VID-2 Video Card for TPS/Tilt Panel Crestron TPS-IMC Interface Module Crestron TPS-XVGA RGB Computer Interface Card for TPS/Tilt PanelCrestron Sample Control Module with an alternative Crestron user interface

Crestron provides many different user interfaces and remote controls that can be used with the

2. Any additional control logic program that may be needed to link the user interface and themodule on the AV controller must be designed and deployed.

Additionally, the hardware requirements will have to be adjusted as necessary for the alternativeuser interface.

Scenario #2Using control module for any AV control system with a user interface

The Recorder can be integrated into an AV controlled system using a control module for any AVcontrol system including Crestron or AMX control systems.

Highlights

The highlights of this scenario are:

The AV vendor or system integrator writes a control module based on the MCIPspecification.

A user interface is developed for a touch panel that works with the control system. In this scenario, certification of the control module is managed by the following persons:

o The AV control system vendor who develops the control module.o The AV integrator who develops the control module and works with the AV control

system vendor.

The AV vendor or system integrator decides how the user interface can be customized andfor which touch panels and remote controls it can be customized and supported.

The control logic, if any, that connects the user interface with the control system is providedby the AV vendor or system integrator.

Software layers and hardwareThe software layers for the control system and the hardware needed in Scenario #2 are shownbelow in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Software layers and hardware for Scenario #2

In this scenario, to integrate the Recorder into an AV controlled system:

1. The Mediasite Communications Service on the Recorder must be started.2. The module residing on the AV controller must be developed and deployed for the Recorder.3. A user interface to control the Recorder must be designed and deployed.4. Any additional control logic program that may be needed to link the user interface and the

module on the AV controller must be designed and deployed.

Crestron Control Module and sample user interfaceThe Recorder can be integrated into an AV controlled system with little effort when SonicFoundrys Crestron certified control module and sample user interface are used. This sampleimplementation demonstrates every function available in MCIP. Sonic Foundrys sampleCrestron control module and user interface package includes the following items:

13/26


Appendix 1: MCIP protocol specification

MCIP controls standard Recorder functions and provides true feedback from the Recorder usingRS-232 serial communications.

General notes

The control system should wait for a reply after sending each command. If a reply is not receivedwithin the default reply time-out interval of five seconds, after sending a command, thecommunication has timed out. The control system should allow the reply time-out to bemodified, in case of communication failures.

If a command (e.g. RECORD) causes the Recorder to perform some task that may take some time,then it will reply with STATUS RECBUSY until the task is completed. The control system caneither poll for this, or if using Verbose Status Mode, the Recorder will notify the control systemwhen waiting is over (e.g. for the RECORD case, this would be when the Recorder transitionsfrom RECBUSY to RECORD).

Commands are generally replied to instantly, and the wait mode will usually only occur whenprocessing control commands.

Hardware configurationBaud Rate: 9600Parity: NoneData Bits: 8Stop Bits: 1

Serial port pinout

The Recorder uses a standard PC COM port with the following configuration:

9-pin male connector:Pin 2 ReceivePin 3 TransmitPin 5 Ground

Note: A null modem cable must be used when connecting the Recorder to the control system forMCIP to work.

Basic protocol Printable ASCII characters for simple, standard functions Debugging for programmers/installers is made much simpler Commands should be short and clearly delineated Small amounts of data to be transferred
