Overview

Just Add Power models with stereo output ports can distribute audio to an analog audio distribution system. The stereo output on some models includes adjustable audio delay and volume control. Delay and volume can be adjusted through push-buttons on the bottom of the devices or through programming.

AVP Transmitters (and KVM Transmitters with the Dolby upgrade) have two additional audio input ports - mic input and line input - for embedding additional analog audio sources onto the HDMI signal. Control of the three audio signals - HDMI, mic, line - allows each signal to be turned on and off independently.

ST1 Sound Transceivers are audio-only endpoints in a Just Add Power system that can act as either an audio input or an audio output. They can be part of 2G and 3G systems.


Stereo Audio Delay

Some models with a stereo output port have the ability to delay the analog audio signal to match with a digital video signal.

Compatible Models

  • 218AVP
  • 418AVP
  • 515POE
  • 518AVP
  • 715POE
  • 718AVP
  • 718KVM (with Dolby upgrade)
  • 725POE
  • 749AVP
  • 749KVM (with Dolby upgrade)

Audio Delay Commands

Audio delay ranges from 0 ms (milliseconds) to 175 ms. Default is 0 ms.

All commands are case-sensitive. Variables are represented by $X. A6.x.x commands will work on justOS firmwares as well. justOS commands will NOT work on A6.x.x firmware.

Firmware A6.x.x
Name Command Variable Options Example Description
Read Current Delay AUD_DLY_READ_CURRENT (none) AUD_DLY_READ_CURRENT Read the current audio delay value on the device (0 to 25)
Increase Delay AUD_DLY_SLOW $X 0 to 25 AUD_DLY_SLOW 4 Increase delay compared to current value by 7ms * value (28 in example)
Decrease Delay AUD_DLY_FAST $X 0 to 25 AUD_DLY_FAST 6 Decrease delay compared to current value by 7ms * value (42 in example)
Set Delay AUD_DLY_SET_VALUE $X 0 to 25 AUD_DLY_SLOW 12 Set delay to 7ms * value (84 in example)
Save Delay Value AUD_DLY_SAVE_VAL (none) AUD_DLY_SAVE_VAL Save the current delay value to persist through reboot

 

justOS Firmware Bx.x.x
Name Command Variable Options Example Description
Set Delay POST /command/audio/stereo/delay $X 0 to 175 POST /command/audio/stereo/delay 175 Set delay to the value (175ms in example)
Save Delay Value (none) (none) (none) Setting the delay automatically saves

Stereo Audio Volume

Models with a stereo output port can make minor adjustments to the volume level of the analog output.

Compatible Models

  • 218AVP
  • 418AVP
  • 518AVP
  • 718AVP
  • 718KVM (with Dolby upgrade)
  • 749AVP
  • 749KVM (with Dolby upgrade)

Volume Commands

Volume adjustment ranges from -39dB to +6dB. Default is 0dB.

All commands are case-sensitive. Variables are represented by $X. A6.x.x commands will work on justOS firmwares as well. justOS commands will NOT work on A6.x.x firmware.

Firmware A6.x.x
Name Command Variable Options Example Description
Increase Volume vol_bth_up.sh (none) vol_bth_up.sh Increase volume compared to current value (1-31)
Decrease Volume vol_bth_dn.sh (none) vol_bth_dn.sh Decrease volume compared to current value (1-31)
Set Volume vol_bth_set.sh $X 1 (-39dB) to 31 (+6dB) in 1.5dB increments vol_bth_set.sh 31 Set volume to 31 (+6dB)
Mute Stereo Port vol_mute.sh (none) vol_mute.sh Mutes the stereo port. Persists until unmuted.
Unmute Stereo Port vol_unmute.sh (none) vol_unmute.sh Unmutes the stereo port. Volume returns to previous level.

 

justOS Firmwares Bx.x.x
Name Command Variable Options Example Description
Set Volume POST /command/audio/stereo/volume $X 0 (-39dB) to 11 (+6dB) in 5-6dB increments POST /command/audio/stereo/volume 10 Set volume. 10 is HDMI-level

Mic & Line Inputs

AVP Transmitters have two additional audio inputs: mic-input and line-input. The audio inputs are distributed over the network and are available to all Receivers watching that Transmitter.

Input Commands

HDMI, mic, and line audio inputs are enabled by default.

All commands are case-sensitive. Variables are represented by $X. A6.x.x commands will work on justOS firmwares as well. justOS commands will NOT work on A6.x.x firmware.

Firmware A6.x.x
Name Command Variable Options Example Description
Enable HDMI Audio dd_main_on.sh (none) dd_main_on.sh Enable audio transmission for HDMI input signal
Disable HDMI Audio dd_main_mute.sh (none) dd_main_mute.sh Disable audio transmission for HDMI input signal
Enable Line Audio dd_line_on.sh (none) dd_line_on.sh Enable the Line input port
Disable Line Audio dd_line_mute.sh (none) dd_line_mute.sh Disable the Line input port
Enable Mic Audio dd_mic_on.sh (none) dd_mic_on.sh Enable the Mic input port
Disable Mic Audio dd_mic_mute.sh (none) dd_mic_mute.sh Disable the Mic input port

 

The commands below for justOS only set the live status, and will not affect the on-boot status for the devices.

For the on-boot Settings commands, head to the 3G Device Settings article in the Audio section.
