Direct Volume Level Control: The MUSE also contains a
set of UDP commands that you can directly set
parameters such as the volume level via UDP directly
without restrictions.
For example, to directly change volume, simply change
the two hex bytes highlighted in RED ( byte #9 and #10)
to the HEX value of the number that you wish to set.
Valid volume numbers range from 01 to 99 in increments
of 1.
XML Status Monitoring: When control commands are
issued to the MUSE, quite often, real-time status
feedback is needed by the control system. Real-time
status monitoring can be done by an external control
system by reading the status.xml file available on the
pre-amp processor web server. Many modern 3
rd
party
control systems have means of reading and parsing xml
files. The XML file can be found at this address on the
pre-amp processor:
FORMAT: http:// IP ADDRESS/status.xml
EXAMPLE: http://192.168.1.245/status.xml
The XML format contains three levels of information: 1)
Identifies the brand, 2) Identifies the model, and 3)
Provides the Type of unit and the Data for the unit.
The example below illustrates the format of the possible
data values for each object in the XML file:
<ACURUS>
<PROD>
<TYPE>TYPE NAME</TYPE>
<DATA1>DATA VALUE 1</DATA1>
<DATA2>DATA VALUE 2</DATA2>
…
<DATA3>DATA VALUE 3</DATA3>
</PROD>
</ACURUS>
