  • Page 5: Introduction

    In this chapter you will find information aboutBlueLine features and functions. BlueLine Digital is a distributed audio system based on streaming over Ethernet. It is possible to send several channels (+ control) via Ethernet and with a very low latency. It can be a simple transmission point to point, or a complete multichannel system with control and management of alarm.

In this condition all receivers will pass to channel "0" and wil adjust the audio level to maximum. When the contact will be opened in the push-button or switch, the alarm condition will be disabled, returning all receiver to their initial state.

  • Page 35: Osc Protocol

    OSC PROTOCOL BlueLine Digital uses the OSC protocol for communication between devices. OSC ( Open Sound Control ) is a communication protocol that enables the communication of computers, musical instruments and other multimedia devices ( smart phone, tablet...) designed to share musical information in real time over a network.

    OSC FOR WORKING WITH PROPERTIES OSC protocol defines the transmission os messages or commands. But also can be used for reading and modification of device properties. After all, work with properties imply the transmission of commands: “Read command” or “Write command”...
  • Page 39 When a property changes, the device sends a number of notifications to the network, for controllers who are listening can update their values. These notifications are as follows: OSC Message multicast to IP 239.192.0.98 port 9001. This message path is formed as follows: /DEVICE_NAME:/ENTIRE_PATH OSC Message unicast to IP and ports that are registered as “listeners”.

  • Page 40: Overview Of The Blueline Protocol

    Common packets are always Unicast. The BlueLine Digital system allows grouping devices into zones. A zone is a set of devices that have the same logical behavior. For example: security zone, room zone.
  • Page 41 The addresses of BlueLine packets always have the following structure: /bl/[ZONE]/[MESSAGE] In the packet address the zone to which the message is intended is encoded. For a better understanding of the areas of the system, in to the master device can assign a name to each of existing areas.

  • Page 42: Packet Types In Bluline Protocol

    PACKET TYPES IN BLUELINE PROTOCOL There are several types of OSC packets depending the recipients that will be sending these packets. Unicast: -The packet is executed by a single device. The packet is sent to the IP address of the device. -For simplicity, the “zone”...

  • Page 43: Udp & Ip Protocols Configuration

    UDP AND IP PROTOCOLS CONFIGURATION All BlueLine messages are transmitted over UDP / IP. In the BL protocol the following IP Multicast addresses are used : 239.192.0.100: For the transmission of control messages 239.192.0. (101 + SOURCE): For the transmission of audio packets. Each SOURCE uses a different IP address.

  • Page 47: Basic Notions About Ip Protocol

    BASIC NOTIONS ABOUT IP PROTOCOL IP protocol is a software protocol which has not connection with network hardware (the main feature for network interlink). This protocol allows the network interlink independently from the hardware. IP addresses are 32 bit and divided in 2 fields: IP network identification and Host identification (from this network). IP adresses are represented in decimal format (4 octos separated by decimal dot) instead of to express as 32 bit number.
  • Page 48 The supply through Ethernet (PoE)(or Power Over Ethernet) allows to supplied the devices connected to the Ethernet network using the same cable4 that the used for data broadcast. The main advantage of PoE is the cost seving. It is no necessary to installa a separate electric line. It is very useful in zones with a difficult access due to that it is not necessary to installa an additional cable.
  • Page 49 IP protocol uses IP addresses in order to identify the source and the destiny ina datagram. But, the datagram travel inside a frame and it uses hardware addresses. By this reason, we need to use ARP protocol, to determinate the hardware address corresponding to IP address of the destinatary.The datagram is divided in two fields: - Head: It has the information that the protocol needs to offer the service - Data: It has the message itself.
