    EDID ( Extended Display Identification Data) is a data-structure, provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the Robe Media Server to “know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size and luminance data.

    The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels. The the ROBE Media Server is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input. Use a network cable category 5 (with four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the fixture to the network.

  • Page 10: Folder Organization

    RMS-Robe Media Server 9. Folder organization The library structure is reflected on the hard drive where all files for the library are stored. The whole library is contained within a special folder called ‘Media’. Inside the Media folder is a collection of folders (000,001...240) each named with a 3-digit number. Each folder following this convention represents a library folder and the 3-digit number represents the name of the folder.
