SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

8.1 What is ID3 TAG information?

ID3 TAG is a small piece of information physically memorised inside the MP3 file (at the
beginning or at the end, depending on the version). The ID3 TAG can contains such
information as the name of the item, the author, the genre, etc. This information can be
changed using suitable software called ID3 Editor. There are many programmes of this
kind, and it is almost impossible to say which is the best.

8.2 Relay command from ID3 TAG

With REPLAY you can activate an output contact of the relay in a bistable mode,
introducing a suitable command in the field TITLE 2 of the ID3 TAG of a file being
reproduced. If you put this command on a file which has been called up via palimpsest,
you can activate or deactivate the relay depending on the time. To activate this mode of
operation, you must use the parameter ORI3 (Output Relay from ID3) in the file config.txt,
according to the following table.
ORI3 (Output Relay from ID3)
0= relay contact closed with file in reproduction.
1= relay activation via control on field TIT2 of the ID3: #RELE_ON=contact
ORI3
closed; #RELE_OFF = contact open. With this setting, the state of the relay
is modified ONLY when the reproduction of a file containing one of the two
commands of this setting starts.
