3. Reset button Press this button briefly to reset your PYKO. If you press it until the LED blinks (approximately 5 seconds), PYKO-out will be is reset to factory configuration, i.e. to ‘Stream Server’ mode with IP address 192.168.0.100., DHCP=OFF, and the UDP/TCP ports to the default UDP and TCP port values (40002 respectively 40004).
The PYKO-out back panel RJ45 network connector RJ45 for a network connection in 10/100 Mbps half-/full-duplex. Serial port RS232 interface on DB9 (see Appendix G, management of RS232 port). GPIO connectors These terminal blocks allow setup of external control and monitoring devices through configurable and protected General Purpose Inputs and Outputs.
Internal USB port PYKO-out has an internal USB port for storing audio files (.mp3) in order to play them on the output. To use this functionality, please insert a USB stick before powering the device up and connecting it to the network.
Depending on your needs, there are several ways of configuring and controlling PYKO-out. Configuration PYKO-out embeds a web server that enables you to control the PYKO through your favorite Internet browser. • Put your headphones on. At start-up, PYKO will announce its IP address over the headphones output –...
“40004”. These are also the values defined in the factory configuration. You may decide that Audio Manager is to control PYKO-out only in part. In this case, use the PYKO-out html pages to configure the device accordingly (cf. on-line help of the pages).
In EtherSound mode, the control of PYKO-out is done through EScontrol. Access to the web pages is no longer possible. To switch back to IP mode, PYKO-out needs to be reset (press the ‘Reset’ button for at least five seconds). PYKO-out will re-boot with the default factory settings.
‘2’to let level ‘1’ available for a stream coming from an alarm system. • In case the level ‘2’ stream disappears, PYKO-out will play a level ‘3’ stream. As soon as the level ‘2’ stream(s) is (are) available again, PYKO-out switches back to this level. Note: Certain functionalities such as for example the ‘Mute’...
If for some reason the decoding parameter should not correspond to the one of the audio stream received, PYKO-out will interpret that as an error and will not play the stream. PYKO-out will then switch to the audio stream of minor priority (Stream priority level n-1).

PYKO-out Professional IP Audio Endpoint APPENDIX A: FIRMWARE Digigram provides three PYKO-out compatible firmware applications (compound.bin). Firmware description The Play-out firmware is used for PA applications. The ‘Play-out extended’ firmware is used for “store and forward” broadcast applications. Firmware Play-out...
APPENDIX B: USING THE INTERNAL USB PORT These settings shall be executed by qualified personnel only! Tools required: • a #1 Pozidriv screwdriver • an ESD-preventive wrist strap Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage several components on the board. To avoid such damage in handling the board, take the following precautions: Bring the device and everything that contacts it to ground potential by providing a conductive surface and discharge paths.
PYKO-out Professional IP Audio Endpoint APPENDIX C: OUTPUT LEVEL SELECTION These settings shall be executed by qualified personnel only! Tools required: • a #1 Pozidriv screwdriver • an ESD-preventive wrist strap Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage several components on the board. To avoid such damage in...
Nominal output level Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 +4 dBu jumper on pins 1 & 2 +18 dBu jumper on pins 2 & 3 Jumper positionning This setting defines whether the nominal level of the analog signals is either +18 dBu or +4 dBu (“Professional”).
PCM, 16bit, MSB first, signed, 12 kHz mono Other formats Payload types 0, 8, 10, 11 and 14 are defined by the RTP standard. Digigram defines assignment for payload types 96 to 127 (dynamic payload types) in the above tables.
APPENDIX E: AUDIO CONNECTORS The audio inputs/outputs of PYKO-out come on a terminal block connector with two lines of three pins each (= two counterparts). Pinout Signal OUT 1- OUT 1+ OUT 2- OUT 2+...
General Purpose Outputs (GPOs) The PYKO-out GPOs are relay outputs. They feature two pins each and are all configured the same way. Pins 9 & 10 belong to GPO # 1, 11 & 12 to GPO # 2, 13 & 14 to GPO # 3, and 15 & 16 to GPO #°4.
PYKO-out provides an RS232 serial port on a male DB-9 connector on its back panel. This port can be used for remote control of PYKO-out through an external interface such as e.g. Vity, AMX or Crestron, or for tunneling purposes.
