Overview

This article addresses how to create Generic devices in Elan/Nice Home Management to control endpoint functions of Just Add Power:

• Video Wall
• Tiling Encoder - Video, Audio, and Layout control
• Warp Encoder - Rotate & Zoom control

This article is still a work in progress. All details collected here were done via Remote Support sessions with Elan/Nice Home Management programmers. If you have suggestions for how to improve it, please reach out to training@justaddpower.com
Thanks!

Procedure

1. Access the project
2. Under Input/Output, right-click on Communication Devices and create a new Communication Device.
3. Assign the IP Address for the device and Port 23.
   • For a Video Wall, the IP Address is for one of the Decoder in the wall. Create one Communication Device for each Decoder in the wall.
   • For a Tiling Encoder, enter the IP Address of the Encoder (not any of the four Decoders.)
   • For a Warp Transmitter, enter the IP Address of the Encoder (not the Decoder.)

   

4. Right-click on Generic Serial Devices and create a new Generic Serial Device.
5. Under the Communication Device dropdown, set it to the device created in Step 3.
   • If doing this for a Video Wall, you may need to create multiple devices as well.

   

6. Right-click on the new Serial Device and create a Serial Code for each function needed. Be sure to use the Terminator: Carriage Return for each code.

   

7. Create buttons on the interface to execute those commands.
8. Done!
