Remote Control : OASIS Protocol
23 - 519
OASIS Protocol
OASIS is a generic TCP/IP based protocol for integrating disparate digital audio consoles and controllers with
Merging’s Pyramix digital audio workstation. Although Pyramix supports several other protocols
OASIS is in a dif-
ferent league.
The Oasis Advantage
• Allows control surface mapping to faders, rotary encoders, keys, machine control functions etc.
• TCP/IP Network based
• High bandwidth
• Flexible connectivity from any unit to any other unit on a LAN/WAN
• Low delay transmission performance (provided there is adequate Network topology.)
• No additional hardware needed for a console/controller that has an Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) connection.
• Low cost and upgradeability of the Ethernet technologies
Overview of Pyramix Controls
Mixing:
The virtual Pyramix mixing console is fully exported over OASIS with a high degree of control precision.
Editing:
Everything that is available in the Pyramix menu is remote controllable
Machine Transport Control:
Internal Pyramix machine control and all connected machines (Sony P2, MMC) can be remote controlled over
OASIS in a unified protocol.
Multiple DAW Control:
• The virtual mixer power can be distributed on multiple mix engines
• The number of available Play/Record Tracks may be expanded seamlessly without limits over any number
of Pyramix engines
Export of useful information to the console:
• “Units of” parameters (%, dB, ms...)
• The range of each specific control
• The default value of controls
•Mixer strips/bus names
• Floating point number based (32 bits)
• Possibility of choosing between the DAW and/or the Console Automation engine
OASIS In Practice
OASIS allows:
• 384 channel I/O multi-track player/recorder and dubber (Pyramix V6.1)
• Access to all the editing and processing functionality of Pyramix
