CFG File Reference
The System Setup Files
The System Setup Files
Overview
The DAL Channel Manager D-Series Master Automation System is built around a real-time
Operating System. The system start up executable file resides in the BIN directory.
Important Note on Uppercase vs Lowercase file names: For System Setup files V4 and
higher system use lower case file names instead of upper case (as used in V3 systems).
To enhance readability in this document, System Setup file names are presented in
UpperCase.
Files Used for System Setup
Channel Manager D-Series configuration and setup is implemented through configuration
and table files.
Configuration Files: Key files (.CFG files) are configured at the time of installation to enable
communication with all the associated devices via LAN, GPI, or serial connection and cannot
be edited while the automation executable is running. Changes made to configuration files on
one automation CPU are not copied across to the second machine. These files typically
reside in the DATA directory.
Table Files: A set of mapped tables (.TBL files) allows local configuration of the system,
such as specific timing or source machine control. These files typically reside in the TABLES
directory.



Table files contain two types of data as shown in blue or black type when editing
under automation control.
•
Those in blue type can be edited while the automation is running and the
change is recognized as soon as the table is saved.
•
Those in black type can only be edited while the automation is not running,
since these changes have greater impact on the system operation.
The format of each table file is critical and characters must not be added or deleted to
each field structure when editing.
Edited tables are automatically copied across to the other automation machine.
About Shadow Files: The SHADOW directory incorporates key shadow files (for example,
SHADOW.80). When the operating system is running, changes to all current schedules, as
run, and tables are recorded in the shadow files. That way all this information is held in RAM
and can be restored on reboot if necessary.

•
The modification of password control.
Warning: Do NOT change the system configuration files and/or table files without first
consulting Automation Support. Changing the system configuration files or table files
without supervision can result in system failure and loss of data.
Before Editing System Setup Files
Before you make any changes to the system configuration and/or table files, make sure that:



The computer you are working on is in Standby mode (not Main).
Your User Category gives you the authority to make the changes.
You have backed up all vital files.
While most configuration files contain the same data on both machines,
SYSTEM.CFG and DEVICE.CFG (only in V3) contain computer-specific information
and cannot be exchanged between automation CPUs.
It is strongly recommended to contact Automation Support for assistance with these
procedures.

About the Configuration Files
System configuration files are used to set up hardware, including serial, device, and network
communications. The settings tell the D-Series Master Automation System which devices are
being controlled, and may include information for specific servers or specific operational
requirements. These files can be edited only at the DOS level in a text editor.
How to Read the Configuration Files
Configuration files contain entries (parameters) for controlling each peripheral, separated into
paragraphs that start with a comment field (indicated by a ! in the first position of the first
line). In general:



The comment field usually contains the name of the device.
Some comment fields also contain information included to help the operator
understand what is being controlled. This information is not used by the system to
control the device.
Comment fields that begin with !REM indicate the parameter is “commented out.” Its
information is not required for system operation, so the entry is ignored.
Remark Lines in .CFG Files
Entries, which are not active, may be made in the .cfg File and used as REMARKS. Insert an
‘!’ (exclamation point) at the start of a line to designate the line as information only
(REMARK). Remark lines may occur on a line by themselves or following a data item.
Side Note for INI Files: In an .INI file, a ‘;’ (semicolon) is inserted at the start of a line to
designate the line as information only (REMARK).
About IRQ Selection
IRQ selection is determined by the IRQs that the motherboard in the computer allows. Some
serial and network cards used with the D-Series Automation System allow a limited IRQ
selection.
A good rule of thumb is:
SER card 1
IRQ 10
Network card 1
IRQ 5
SER card 2
IRQ 10 Daisy-chain
Network card 2
IRQ 7
SER card 3
IRQ 11
Network card 3
IRQ 9
SER card 4
IRQ 11 Daisy chain

More than one SETTING=VALUE specification may occur on a single line, where
each is separated by white space.
Comments/Remarks start with an exclamation mark (!) and end with one at the end
of the line. They may occur on a line by themselves or following a data item.

BLANK_INGEST_SOM
(Default: TIME_OF_DAY)
This parameter sets the default SOM when it is blank and is used for bus machine
controls.
D-MAS supports true time recordings with time-of-day SOM on record buses. A true
time recording with a time-of-day SOM is scheduled as a true time recording with the
BUS_SOM field left blank (or unconfigured). If the “Bus machine default to main flag”
field is set to “Y” in the bus.tbl specification table the main SOM must be blank as
well.
Use this parameter to enable the true time recording with time-of-day SOM feature.
To enable it, set BLANK_INGEST_SOM to TIME_OF_DAY, or to disable it, set
BLANK_INGEST_SOM to ZERO. If BLANK_INGEST_SOM is not present, the
default value of TIME_OF_DAY is used and the true time recording with time-of-day
SOM feature is enabled.
Note: Previously, if the BUS_SOM field was blank or unconfigured and the “Bus
machine default to main flag” field was set to “N”, the ingest SOM would be
00:00:00:00. With the implementation of BLANK_INGEST_SOM, it is necessary to
explicitly specify an SOM of 00:00:00:00 if this SOM is desired and the new
system.cfg keyword BLANK_INGEST_SOM is not specified or set to TIME_OF_DAY.

BREAK_INFO_RIPPLE={Y, N}
Enable (Y) / Disable (N) the Break Information Ripple function.
Break information events are very similar to comment events (in both layout and
behavior). They have three fields: comment 1, comment 2 and duration. This
Duration is not the break information event’s duration (because, like a comment
event, it is treated as a zero duration event), but the required collective duration of
the sequence of commercial break events following it.
Inserting a commercial break event (CTRL-SHIFT-INSERT) into a schedule causes a
slightly different set of ripple rules to be used. The start time of the first non-break
event after the break sequence is defined to be the end time of the event prior to the
break information event added to the duration given in the break information event.
Valid in Systems: A5500, A6500, A7500, A8500, A8600
BREAK_TIMING = {Y, N}
(Default: N)
The system can control the duration of each break to be that set by a break
information event.
When Y, the duration given in a break information event is taken to be the exact
duration of the break:
•
If there is a gap before the next event, the last frame of the break is held onair.
•
If there is an overlap, the next event is taken when the break information
event time expires, even though this is before the on-air event finishes.
Note: For a break event whose actual duration is longer than the scheduled break
time, the extended time will not be included as break time.

event is overdue.
•
When enabled (Y), this parameter must be set the same on both automation
computers, and any edit computers on which you wish to display the break
timing information.

CA_INCLUDE_BUS_DELAY={Y/N}
(Default: N)
Include (Y) / Exclude (N) any bus delay. This maintains compatibility with other sites
whose system architecture may not require the start time to reflect any bus delay.
About Constructing CA Commands: When constructing CA commands, bus delay
is added to event start times provided:
•
event has valid numeric time (as opposed to, e.g., default event’s blank time)
•
CA_INCLUDE_BUS_DELAY is enabled.
•
Both start and tension commands are affected.
•
For the sake of consistency, this is done for all interface types that refer to
event dates/times, although only ESS is relevant here.
Valid in Systems: A7500v5, DAISv5.11
CA_LOOKAHEAD={Y/N}
(Default= N)
This parameter is used to support for sending CA commands for events further than
the next one.
•
Enable (Y): Always send the preroll commands at the (event time) - (pre-roll
time). This effectively makes D-MAS send CA controls for every event
subject to lookahead logic.
•
Disable (N): (Default) Only send the pre-roll for the next event once the
current event has gone to air, so if the next event's duration is less than the
pre-roll, then the next event gets its pre-roll too late.

Example Implementation:
•
For the automation computers (main and backup), set
“cpu_type=automation” and “cpu_number=1” for the main, “cpu_number=2”
for the backup.
•
For the schedule server computers, set “cpu_type=server”, and set
“cpu_number=1” for the first schedule server, “cpu_number=2” for the
second, etc.

DEKOCAST_BLANK_PAGE
(Default: 1)
Specifies the blank page number for the DekoCast. If the DEKOCAST
COMPATIBILITY option is enabled for the corresponding Chyron MAX!> machine,
the automation system erases the source’s on-air display in the manner supported by
the DekoCast, (i.e. by loading and displaying a blank page).
The automation system loads the blank page using the same “read page” command
sequence that it uses to load a scheduled page.
The default Action ID on scene “000” is 1, giving a blank page ID of “0001” (assuming
the ID length for the device in Machine.tbl is set to 4).

sequence for the scheduled page. The value specified for this parameter is measured
in system ticks (hundredths-of-a-second).
To ensure that the DekoCast finishes loading the blank page before the event ends,
the automation system issues the “read page” command sequence as part of the
preroll and start controls. To ensure that the DekoCast finishes displaying the
(previously-loaded) scheduled page before it loads the blank page, the automation

Time to Next Event = Max(T + W, S) + [4 Frames]
Where,
 “T” is the transition lead time; it is the maximum of the main source
transition lead time and a possible DVE transition lead time.
 “W” is the switcher latency for the main source.
 “S” is the maximum of the preroll time + source latency over all main and
delayed over sources. For the case of delayed over sources, this value
is reduced by the time offset of the sub-event.
•
The additional [4 Frames] is required to give sufficient time for D-MAS to
process all follow buses when the manual take is initiated for a Master event.
•
The behavior of the manual take is the same, regardless of how it is initiated.
A manual take initiated from an automation control panel, a direct access
panel, or a digital input associated with the D-MAS I/O pool will all behave in
the same manner.

DIAG_LOG_DIR
(Default: LOG)
This parameter specifies the location of the logging file directory. If this keyword is
absent from SYSTEM.CFG the diagnostic logging directory defaults to “LOG” as in
previous versions of the system.
DIAG_LOG_DIR can be a full pathname to the diagnostic logging file directory
(beginning with a drive letter), or if the drive letter is omitted, the path is taken relative
to the directory from which the automation system is run. In either case the pathname
must fulfill the following criteria:
•
The directory must end in a backslash. When inserting a string for
DIAG_LOG_DIR in SYSTEM.CFG, backslash characters must be escaped,
but only count as one cha-racter towards the limit of 40
•
The length must be no more than 40 characters (including the trailing
backslash and the drive name)
•
The directory path must not include “..”
If the chosen diagnostic logging directory fails any of these criteria the automation
system will fail to start. If the automation system cannot create the directory it will
also fail.
IMPORTANT: This parameter should never need to be changed from its default
value.

DISK_LOG_MAX_FILES={0, 1, 2,…1000}
(Default: 500)
The number of log files to scan in the the diagnostic log directory. This scan
determines which files are older than T_DISK_LOG_LIFE days and deletes those
files.
•
The default value for this parameter is 500.
•
However, if the number of files in the log directory exceed the specified
DISK_LOG_MAX_FILES files, then not all the files will be scanned, and thus
they will not be deleted when they expire.
The Rule of Thumb for setting this parameter:
DISK_LOG_MAX_FILES =
((DISK_LOG_DAILY_LIMIT/DISK_LOG_FILE_LIMIT)*(T_DISK_LOG_LIFE+2) + a bit
more. This ensures all old files are included in the directory scan and are
appropriately deleted.

DIVA_METASOURCE=(Y, N) {Default= Y)
When D-AIS requests the DIVA archive manager to archive/restore a clip from/to a
server (e.g. an AMP server or a SeaChange MediaCluster), it uses the HOST_NAME
or one of the NODE_NAMEs value in the location table to specify the server, based
on the system.cfg parameter DIVA_METASOURCE.
When this parameter is set to:
•
‘Y’: D-AIS should always use the HOST_NAME value for the server location
regardless which node the interface is connected to.
•
‘N’ : use the node name (HOST_NAME or one of the NODE_NAMEs) that
the interface is currently connected to.
AMP Note: The DIVA archive manager can optionally be configured to use the
HOST_NAME value as the metasource for the AMP server to do load balancing and
failover between the AMP server nodes.
SeaChange Note: Since each cluster (“MetaSource”) can perform at most a limited
number of archive and restore operations, the SYSTEM.CFG parameter
SEACHANGE_ARCHIVE_LIMIT specifies the maximum number of archive or restore
operations per SeaChange MediaCluster (not per SeaChange MediaCluster node)

ETS_MAX_CHANNELS_PER_MESG
(Default: 0)
This parameter is used to limit the number of channels in an event trigger message.
When it is set to a non-positive value or a value larger than 9, the maximum number
of channels per message will be 9 as before.
Note: This parameter is used to work-around a bug in the Cisco SIM system which
incorrectly processes an event trigger message when its binary data contains a 0x04
byte. To work-around the bug, this parameter should be set to 1, 2, or 3 so that the
message size (in hex) in the binary data does not contains the 0x04 byte; the
ETS_SOURCE_ID parameter in system.cfg, which is also in the binary data, should
be set to a value whose hex format does not contains the 0x04 byte.

The XML Event Status server uses a TCP/IP socket to communicate with clients.
This parameter is used to setup the server port number. It is alos used to override the
default TCP port for the XML Event Status over IP enhancement.
Valid in Systems: A7400v4, A7500v4, A8000, A8100v4,
EVT_STATUS_SESSION_TIMEOUT
(Default: 0)
This parameter sets the timeout in seconds for an XML Event Status session. It
enables a mechanism used for detecting dead XML Event Status connections and to
disconnect them, making room for new connections.
•
0 (default), disables the timeout mechanism.
•
A positive number enables this mechanism.
•
The recommended timeout is 60 seconds.
If enabled, a client must send a valid message to automation within TTO seconds of
the previous message sent, in order to maintain its connection. As it is likely that
neither a subscription nor a un-subscription message will need to be sent to
automation within every TTO second period, the new XML keep-alive message may
be sent. The form of the XML keep-alive message is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dmasMsg>
<keepAliveMsg />
</dmasMsg>
These messages, or other subscription messages, must arrive at automation within
TTO seconds of each other or else automation will consider the connection to be
dead, and will terminate the session. It is recommended that the client send
messages within TTO - 5 seconds to prevent automation from prematurely
terminating a session due to transient network glitches.
Valid in Systems: A7500v4, A8000, A8100v4,
EVTZ9525_WAIT_RESPONSE={Y, N}
(Default: Y)
If Y, the Evertz9525 interface, when a request is timeout, automation resends the
request. If the re-send fails, automation raises a com-failure alarm.
If N, the Evertz9525 interface handles, when a request is timeout, automation
assumes that the request succeed and does not re-send the request or raise comfailure alarm.

FLEXICART_ADD_SEGMENTS={Y, N}
(Default: N)
Specifies the mode (Legacy or Optional) of how the system handles multi-segment
tapes (with standard Sony barcode).
Setting this parameter to:
•
N, selects the recommended optional mode of operation. In this mode the
database content for a Flexicart includes an entry for each individual
segment of a multi-segment tape, there is only an entry for the tape. This
mode of operation is correct for D-AIS version 3 and D-AQS as they support
querying of the segment data against the database MATERIAL_SEGMENT
table.
•
Y, selects the legacy mode of operation. In this mode each segment is added
to the database and the tape is not. In some cases the legacy mode of
operation may be desired. In particular this might be desired if the segment
data for tapes in Flexicarts has not been added to the database. Contact
Automation support for assistance.
Valid in Systems: D-AISv3, DAQS
FLEXICART_MEDIAID_ONLY={Y,N}
(Default: N)
This parameter modifies how D-AIS performs D-FCS database queries (i.e., FlexiCart
tape inventory queries) as required to implement Sony Code 2 of 5 Media ID only
Barcodes. The effect of this parameter is restricted to the v3.xx.xx mode of operation
for FlexiCart tape inventory queries.
•
N: (Default) Preserves the existing behaviour. The default mode of operation
is defined by the following:
 The LAMMS interface is disabled by setting the SYSTEM.CFG
parameter LAMMS_ENABLE=N (the default setting).
 The v1.xx.xx. compatibility mode is disabled by setting the
SYSTEM.CFG parameter FLEXICART_ADD_SEGMENTS=N (also the
default setting).
•
Y: Causes D-AIS to treat FlexiCart tapes with Sony format (2 of 5) barcodes
as equivalent to tapes with code 39 (3 of 9) barcodes. Specifically, this
setting cause D-AIS to:
 Ignore the (material) timing information (SOM, duration, and title) that
appears on Sony format (2 of 5) barcodes;
 Ignore the (segment) timing information (if any) that appears in the user
bits for multi-segment tapes;

 Treat the ID that appears on Sony format (2 of 5) barcodes as if they
were media IDs appearing on code 39 (3 of 9) barcodes, meaning it will
add to the corresponding FlexiCart location’s inventory all material
assigned to that media ID in the D-AIS database (DALdb).
Note: In other modes of operation (i.e., LAMMS or v1.xx.xx compatibility mode), DAIS ignores the setting specified for the new FLEXICART_MEDIAID_ONLY
parameter.

Specifies how the automation system should interpret the situation where the
FlexiCart contains the tape specified in the event, but the FlexiCart control system
(D-FCS) is unable to return the SOM, duration, and abbreviated title for the item ID
specified in the event, because either: D-FCS was unable to retrieve this information
from the user bits. - OR - The user bits lack any such information.
N, causes the automation system to treat this situation as an item availability
error.
Y causes the automation system to treat this situation as indicating the item is
available (i.e., not an item availability error).

This Imagestore IS-750 & LGK-3901 device is enhanced to support new “Preload
Image” (“R7”) protocol command. It is sent to the device at “Cue” time (when “Ready”
control is requested) if requested material is changed. “Load Image” (“R0”) command
is sent to the device at “Start” time to take preloaded material to air.
Imagestore 2: The Imagestore 2 doesn’t support “YA” tally, so the device interface
can’t continue working with the layer because there is no information about preload
finishing.

The device automation assumes the addresses are listed in the order preferred for
the connection. It attempts to connect to the master automation using the first
address in the list, then the second, and so on.
The 4 addresses typically are:
•
the addresses of master automation computer 1 on the Info LAN
•
the addresses of master automation computer 2 on the Info LAN
•
the addresses of master automation computer 1 on the Real-Time LAN
•
the addresses of master automation computer 2 on the Real-Time LAN
The active device automation computer (of each device automation system) makes a
schedule server connection to the active master automation computer. This
connection is used for schedule download and status upload. Up to 4 IP addresses
can be specified, so the device automation know the address of both master
automation computers on two different LANs. This allows a connection to be made
event if one of the master automation computers fails or one of the LANs fails.

MAX_PENDING_OPS
(Default: 0)
This parameter governs the maximum number of pending schedule server client
media management (rename, delete, etc) commands which can be performed at
once.
This defaults to 0, but should be increased if an installation’s workflow requires that
more than a single rename or delete request be processed at once.
Valid in Systems: A7500v4, A7500v5, A7800v4
MAX_REPLICATION_LAG={‘ss’}
(Default: 3 seconds)
This parameter defines the maximum lag (in seconds) allowed for a replication
executed on the slave node to be considered up-to-date. This value defaults to 3
(seconds), which will also be the minimum value accepted by D-AIS. (See also
UPDATE_TIME_PERIOD.)
•
If configured to less than 3, D-AIS will assume 3 seconds as the replication
lag with the exception being 0.
•
If configured to 0, D-AIS falls back to the former behavior and no lag is
considered.
About the Standby Replication Controller status display:
On the MySQL slave servers (Standby Replication Controller and Query Interfaces)
under the (Status) branch of the Active/Standby Replication Controller pair there is a
sub-item called Replication Status where the user can see information about the
status of the replication of the Standby Replication Controller. The Status field
depends on the values of the Lag field and the MAX_REPLICATION_LAG field and
can take one of the following values according to the combination of these fields:

•
A higher value for this parameter result in more memory usage and network
activity.
•
Lower values reduce resource consumption, but there is the possibility of
having an incomplete list of events in error (although only the events furthest
from being aired would be omitted).

MUTEX_DEADLOCK_DETECTION_TIMEOUT (sec, default=0)
An optional timeout has been added to (most of) DMAS mutexes. Whenever it
expires, DMAS raises an alarm or makes a core dump. There is no deadlock
resolution mechanism, just detection. After raising an alarm, DMAS goes back to
trying to lock the mutex.
This feature is controlled by this system.cfg parameter.
•
If zero, the old behavior is in effect.
•
Otherwise, this timeout is applied to all C_MUTEX-based locks.
To enable the core dump functionality, use the
CORE_DUMP_ON_MUTEX_PROBLEM (boolean, default=N) system.cfg parameter

The internal DMAS diagnostic tool is extended with mutex statistic logging. DMAS
uses PTHREAD library to implement multithread functionality which is accessed via
wrapper API. This wrapper functionality is extended to implement statistic gathering
for mutex lock operations. Each thread in DMAS (“task”) has its own internal ID which
is used to get task name, and set of mutexes it can lock (“mutex type”).
Following data is tracked during mutex lock acquisition:
•
Thread ID/Name
•
Mutex Type
•
Total duration of lock operations (in nanoseconds)
•
Sum of lock durations squared (in 10-15 sec2)
•
Number of lock operations
•
Maximum lock duration for this Task in measured period (in nanoseconds)
This data is written to the log files periodically to avoid clogging log files.
To avoid potential system overloading two level of logging is supported to regulate
amount of output information. Logging is done by CLOCK task at logging level 2. This
logging function periodically dumps acquired data to the log file.
Note: See also CLOCK task parameter in Logging.TBL.

ALL
All packets are compressed.
TEST
The maximum packet size is sent always. This extremely
inefficient method is used to test the fragmentation and
reassembly software. It should never be used at a site.
•
If the store size is sufficiently large, then store update messages do not fit
within a single Ethernet frame, and 2 messages must be used. Compression
allows most of these to fit into one frame.
•
The system can handle network messages that do not fit into a single
Ethernet packet using IP fragmentation and re-assembly. It can also
compress network messages to minimize the requirement for IP
fragmentation or to reduce network traffic at the expense of some CPU
utilization.

(Default: N)
Enable (Y) / Disable D-AIS performing conditional precueing. (i.e. a tape will be
precued if and only if deemed to require precueing. )
If enabled, D-AIS will not precue a tape that has been successfully precued unless
something occurs that could leave the tape in a state that requires precueing,
namely:
•
The tape is rewound (manually or otherwise).
•
The tape is removed from (and later re-inserted in) the FlexiCart.
•
The tape is in a VTR and an operator switches that VTR to local mode.
Note 1: Simply moving a tape from one bin to another (or from a VTR to a bin)
without closing and re-opening the FlexiCart door has the effect of removing the tape
from the FlexiCart and re-inserting it as far as the FlexiCart (and hence D-FCS) is
concerned.
Note 2: As is the case with the other precueing parameters identified above, the
setting for this parameter can be specified in either the system configuration file

PROFILE_DB_MONITOR_CHANGES= {Y,N}
(Default: Y)
Enable (Y) / Disable (N) change notification. This notification indicates whether or not
D-AIS should have the Profile notify it of changes to its item database.
By default (Y), D-AIS ask the Profile to notify it when items (movies) have been
changed. On receiving this notification, D-AIS queries the Profile for the list of movies
added/deleted that triggered the notification. This enables D-AIS to keep its item
database consistent with the contents of the Profile.

PROFILE_DB_UPDATE_PERIOD={‘ss’}
(Default: 5 seconds)
When the Profile interface notices a new item is created or an existing item is
modified, it will put the item into a list instead of querying it right away.
This parameter is used for configuring the period that a Profile interface should check
the list. When checking the list, it will query those items that are older than the period
and update the database accordingly. This is to avoid querying newly created items
too soon and to reduce the number of queries and database updates when an item is
changed repeatedly. (See also PROFILE_DB_UPDATE_RETRIES.)
Valid in Systems: D-AIS
PROFILE_DB_UPDATE_RETRIES
(Default: 3 times)
When the Profile interface notices a new item is created or an existing item is
modified, it will put the item into a list instead of querying it right away.
This parameter is used for configuring the maximum number of retries in case of
querying failure. After the maximum retries, the changed item is ignored, instead of
being added to the database with zero SOM and duration. (See also

PURGE_FAILS_IF_LOCATED_ON_EXCLUDED={Y/N} (Default: Y)
This option controls the DAIS behavior when purged material is located in the
excluded location. It allows the system to take into account locations that are
excluded from purge intentionally through configuration.
•
If set to 'Y', DAIS will fail the purge operation if purged material is located on
an excluded location. Regardless of fail, DAIS will continue to purge material
from other locations. This is the current behavior and this is default value of
new option.
When this configuration option is enabled, if the ID requested to be purged is
found to exist in an excluded location, D-AIS continues to attempt to delete
the ID from other locations and the Purge operation is not considered to have
failed. When the Purge operation completes the ID is not deleted from the
LOCATION_ASSIGNMENT table entry for the disabled location or other
tables.
•
If set to 'N', DAIS reports on the purge success status in cases of material
existing on an excluded location. So despite success of the purge action,
material will remain on the excluded location.
In both cases DAIS will not delete material from db completely if material exists on at
least one location.

default receive socket memory size is used.
Set the parameter on the master automation based on the number of buses (e.g.
100K per 100 buses; tis will avoid any “missing info” issues. It is not necessary to
configure it on a device automation system since most of the information messages
are from device automation systems to the master automation.
About Increasing the Maximum Limit: The RTM_SOCKET_RCVMEM parameter
value is limited by the maximum receive socket memory size in DALinux, which is
current set to 130K. In order to set the parameter to a value larger than 130K, the

SELF_MONITOR_CORE_DUMP (ms, default=-1):
The self-diagnostic task is expanded to allow detection of CPU underutilization
observed after one of the freezes. These symptoms are assumed to be caused by
deadlocking. Now DMAS is able to report such issues and optionally produce core
dumps.
If negative, only log messages will be generated. If nonnegative, a core dump will be
generated if the low CPU load issue is encountered after <DMAS startup time>+<this
value>.
This feature will help with collecting detailed DMAS state info (in the form of core
dumps) for the deadlock-inducing class of freezes.
Usage example 1: collecting statistics:
•
Apply basic self-monitor settings as before. Add:
SELF_MONITOR_POLL_INTERVAL_LOW = 1000
SELF_MONITOR_LOAD_THRESHOLD_LOW = 1000
SELF_MONITOR_THREADS = "SWR, SWR_LOW, BUP"
SELF_MONITOR_CORE_DUMP = -1
•
Output for both normal conditions, and post-freeze low-load conditions
should be collected.
Usage example 2: collecting core dumps:
•
Start with the above settings on Active; apply them to Backup, as well.
•
Change the Backup settings:
SELF_MONITOR_LOAD_THRESHOLD_LOW = <based on #1>
SELF_MONITOR_CORE_DUMP = 60000
•
Restart DMAS on Backup, applying these settings.
•
Before the core dump delay expires, perform TOC.
Valid in Systems: A8100v5.06, A8600v5.06
SELF_MONITOR_DELAY_THRESHOLD (ms, default 1000):
If, for some reason (e.g., due to the system-level issues mentioned in section 3), the
monitor will be unable to update thread data for at least this period of time, it will be
reported.
•
Recommended Value: delay threshold should be at least a few times higher
than the poll interval.

SELF_MONITOR_LOAD_THRESHOLD (%, default 80):
Threads with CPU load above this value (over the last update period) will be
reported.
•
Recommended Value: load threshold highly depends on system
specifications and the expected problem scenario. For example, detecting
two spinning threads would require a threshold of, e.g., 40–45% on a singlecore system, but 80–90% on a dual-core machine

SELF_MONITOR_LOAD_THRESHOLD_LOW (in 0.1% units, default=0):
The self-diagnostic task has been expanded to allow detection of CPU
underutilization observed after one of the freezes. These symptoms are assumed to
be caused by deadlocking. Now DMAS is able to report such issues and optionally
produce core dumps.
If the total CPU load of selected threads (over the last update period) is below this
value, it will be reported (with or without generating the core dump).
This feature will help with collecting detailed DMAS state info (in the form of core
dumps) for the deadlock-inducing class of freezes.
Usage example 1: collecting statistics:
•
Apply basic self-monitor settings as before. Add:
SELF_MONITOR_POLL_INTERVAL_LOW = 1000
SELF_MONITOR_LOAD_THRESHOLD_LOW = 1000
SELF_MONITOR_THREADS = "SWR, SWR_LOW, BUP"

•
Change the Backup settings:
SELF_MONITOR_LOAD_THRESHOLD_LOW = <based on #1>

Valid in Systems: A8100v5.06, A8600v5.06
SELF_MONITOR_POLL_INTERVAL (ms, default 0)
The delay between successive timing polls (all threads per single poll). The value of 0
disables the monitor.
•
Recommended Value: The poll interval should be small enough to capture
the initial period of CPU overloading before the potential system-level freeze;
values on the order of a frame length (~30ms) are recommended
•
When SELF_MONITOR_POLL_INTERVAL is zero or missing, the new
feature will not be available, and the self-monitor task will not start at all. This
can be tested with the help of DALterm’s diagnostic debugger by using the
“stat thread SELF_MONITOR” command.

Decreasing the number of simultaneous schedule server connections frees
memory that can be used for cache items. Each connection saves
approximately 200KB of memory (or 320 cache items).
•
This value should only be decreased on Master automation (not Schedule
Server CPUs) and set to an appropriate value sufficient for all connections
that are critical to normal operations.
Note: Device automation CPUs have limit of 6 client connections, and if more are
required then schedule servers should be used. If the setting of variable
SSVR_NUM_CONNECTIONS is omitted from the system.cfg files then this limit can
be exceeded. SSVR_NUM_CONNECTIONS=6 should therefore be added to all
device controller system.cfg files to ensure the client connection limit is maintained.

SSVR_PORT
(Default: 0)
Specifies the port of the schedule server. As a client to the schedule-server, the CA
computer sends connection request to schedule server on this port.
Valid in Systems: CAIF
SSYNC_SRV_NUM_BUF
(Default: 100)
When the schedule of a primary bus changes, a change notification message is
buffered in the memory. The SSYNC server task sends those buffered messages
when it has chance. Use this parameter to define the maximum number of buffers the
system will allocate for the notifications. The size of each buffer is about 2k.
When used with DRSS, SSYNC_SRV_NUM_BUF defines the max amount of
notifications which should be stored before sending them to DRSS. If events are
copied to fast, it is possible that the rate of insertion can exceed the rate of sending
(because the priority of SSync task is low). In this case buffers can be overflowed
and sync errors occur.
It is strongly recommended to set SSYNC_SRV_NUM_BUF value to at least 1000
(as by default). (SSYNC_SRV_NUM_BUF=1000)

SSYNC_SRV_NUM_BUF=1000 should be safe and reliable for most situations
(except copying of several hundreds of events at a time). SSync buffers does not
require a big amount of memory, so even values above 10000 are possible for heavy

This parameter defines the period (in seconds) that the server expects the client to
poll. If the client doesn’t send the poll message in time, the server closes the
connection.
Valid in Systems: A7500v4
SSYNC_SRV_PORT

Valid in Systems: A7500v4
STACK_THRESHOLD ={‘integer i | 0 <= i <= 100’}
(Default: 5)
Threshold (in %) for stack overflow system warnings. If the idle task finds the stack
has used more than (100-STACK_THRESHOLD)% of the space allocated to it, a
message is written to the diagnostic log. The first time this is found to have happen,
an alarm is raised.
Suggested Setting: Lower the threshold to 80% or less (STACK_THRESHOLD = 20
or higher), so that any potential trouble is more noticeable. (At 95%, the messages
should be genuinely exceptional conditions.) To do this, add the following line to you
system.cfg file:
STACK_THRESHOLD = 20
This value for STACK_THRESHOLD should rarely (if ever) be used at customer

SUPRESS_LGK3901_ITEM_QUERY= {Y, N}
This keyword controls whether item query will be performed for LGK-3901 devices
controlled using either the Imagestore or the Intuition driver.
•
If the value of this parameter is set to Y, D-MAS will not perform item
availability checking for LGK-3901 devices controlled using either the
Imagestore or the Intuition serial driver.
•
If the value of this parameter is set to N, or if it is not present in the
system.cfg configuration file, D-MAS will continue to perform item availability
checking for LGK-3901 devices as it does currently.
Note: The determination of whether the controlled device is an LGK-3901 requires
retrieving information from the device. Although this happens shortly after D-MAS
initially establishes communication with the device, there is still time for the query
item tasks to queue a small number of item queries. D-MAS will perform these
queries as expected; after the controlled device has been found to be an LGK-3901,
the query task will no longer request queries.

Allowable Maximum: 50
•
As the number of buses increases, reduce this value as it creates a high
loading on the system. For example, in a 28 channel system this value is set
to 15. If this value is set too high system instability occur, such as unreliable
switching, etc.

Enable (Y) / Disable Transition Duration function.
•
If Y, then the fade rate parameters in the system specification table file
SYSTEM.TBL (T_FADE_SLOW, T_FADE_MEDIUM, and T_FADE_FAST)
are interpreted as the total duration of the transition rather than the speed
fading up or down. For example, a 3 second V-fade fades down for 1.5 s and
up for 1.5 s, while a 3 second E-fade fades down for 3 seconds and then cuts
up. This interpretation is consistent with the behavior of most television
master control switchers (e.g. Master-21/2100, Saturn, Tx220).
•
If N, then the fade times are interpreted as the time to fade in one direction
(so a V-fade will take twice as long as an E or F-fade).
Warning: Setting USE_TRANS_DURATION=N on an automation system
controlling one of the television master control switchers causes transitions to
occur with the wrong timing.

ALARM.CFG
Alarms are configured in the alarm configuration file (ALARM.CFG), which resides in the
DATA directory. This file must be present (but it can be empty). This file has a format similar
to the port configuration file (PORT.CFG). Each line in the file corresponds to a single alarm
point. Each line begins with a keyword that identifies the alarm, followed by one or more
parameter settings. The following parameters are supported:



Alarms are configurable through Alarm.CFG. This includes Alarm conditions, such
as:
•
whether setting or clearing the alarm is logged or even signaled to the
operator,
•
what alarm is raised on the supervisory computer,
•
how many alarm points are associated with the alarm on the supervisory
system.
If any flag indicates an alarm should be logged or displayed, alarms occurring on the
standby computer are sent to the main computer.
If the number of alarm points on the supervisory system is 0 for an alarm, the
supervisory system is NOT notified.
Automation consists of two types of alarms: static alarms and dynamic alarms.


Static alarms are always present and can always be configured in ALARM.CFG.
Dynamic alarms are only present if the controlling subsystem is in use (e.g. MUX
alarms are only present and configurable if a MUX is con-figured in PORT.CFG).
About Broadcast Video Server Alarm Prefixes
All alarms beginning with the prefix:
•
ALRM_BVS_CUE (all [play] cue failure alarms).
•
ALRM_BVS_INIT (all record cue failure alarms).
•
ALRM_BVS_DELETE (all cache delete failure alarms).
•
ALRM_BVS_VERIFY (all recording verification alarms).
•
ALRM_BVS_REJECT (all recording rejection alarms).
To View all Available Options
The option -alarminfo (for V3 Systems), --list-alarms (for V4 Systems) results in the
listing of all the static alarms and all potential dynamic alarms. This should be used as a
guide only. Presence in the list of dynamic alarms does not indicate validity in ALARM.CFG,
however absence in the list does indicate invalidity in ALARM.CFG.
For the authoritative list of valid alarms (alarms that can appear in ALARM.CFG) the Alarm
Test diagnostics should be consulted ([F9] > Maintenance > Alarm Test). This diagnostic
contains all valid alarms.

ALRM_CUE_FAIL_NEXIO_ODT
DMAS raises a new “Cue Fail (Not Ready to Play)” alarm. Timeline processing
periodically attempts to Cue the clip multiple times (approximately once per second)
in accordance with existing rules.
Support is added for suppressing Cue request for NEXIO clips with a "Not Ready To
Play" attribute in order to prevent playback failure. This enhancement affects both the
Nexio ODT and DCAL interfaces.
Setting the “Not Ready to Play” flag prevents a cue both for ODT serial interface and
for Nexio DCAL. DMAS treats the “Not Ready to Play” condition as being similar to
the “Does not exist” condition. In other words, automation raises alarm and stops Cue
sequence. After standard delays, timeline processing continues attempts to Cue the
clip again. The Cue sequence is repeated until such time as the clip is no longer
reported as “Not Ready to Play” and can be Cued or other existing rules and
procedures apply when the clip is normally expected to play at the start of the event.
Nexio DCAL: Automation checks Nexio Special ID Attributes prior to a cue request
for Nexio DCAL. If the “Not Ready to Play” flag is set, Nexio DCAL Plugin stops the
cue sequence and sets the status of the current timeline event to “FAILURE”. D-MAS
raises the “DCAL Device Cue Fail” alarm.
Note: The Cue request does not repeat after “Cue Fail” alarm on Nexio
DCAL. Timeline processing does not update the requested cue array after
cue failure and a new cue request is not sent. This issue will be addressed
under a separate defect case.

This alarm is raised when the amount of free disk space is approximately between
1000 KB and 200 KB. The alarm text and logging messages specify the disk is
almost full explicitly to more accurately reflect the usage of the alarm.

This alarm is raised if the number of free kilobytes is 200 KB or less. The reason the
ALRM_NUM_DISK_FULL alarm is raised when there is 200 KB or less free and not
when there is 0 KB free is because DALinux begins to report disk full errors on some
write operations when there is approximately 200 KB or less free due to reserved
disk space.

CA_SYS.CFG
The CA interface system contains a pair of CA interface computers, main and backup. The
CA interface computer acts as the interface between the DAL automation system and the
external CA computers. Each external system deals with one or more types of CA data.


ca data types:
•
Data types are case insensitive (“PAD” is the same as “pad”)
•
Data types less than 3 characters in length can be entered in the schedule
without creating a data error
•
CA subevents destined for the UMS are configured identically to SDDS. UMS
specific subevents are supported are: Channel Request: Program Type
Label Request and Audio Encoder Request. (Currently there is no CA_IF that
supports the UMS interface).
To avoid the requirement for duplicate data entry and to provide new features,
CA_SYS.CFG and CA_CODE.TBL replace CA_Type.CFG as of CAIF v3.10.04.
Valid in Systems: CAIF
Standard Format
CA_SYS.CFG is a required file that specifies the names, types, and socket addresses (IP
address + port number) for each of the CA systems that are connected. Each record has the
form:
NAME TYPE=type SOCKET=system_1_addresses SOCKET=system_2_addresses
PASSWORD=password
Parameters
Parameter
Description
NAME
The name is arbitrary and is the identifier for this system. Each line must
have a unique name.
This name appears in the CA_CODE.TBL file to specify which system
processes the given type.
TYPE
The type must be one of SPI, SDDS, or UMS.
SOCKET
There may be 1 or 2 SOCKET=value items corresponding to the 1 or 2
systems that are used. These correspond to main and backup CA systems.
Each SOCKET=value item may specify 1 or 2 socket addresses that must
be for the same system via different networks. The format is A.B.C.D:P
where P is the port number and A.B.C.D is the IP address. A vertical bar
separates the two addresses. An example is:
SOCKET=172.17.100.3:9999|192.168.4.3:9998
Normally the same port is used for all networks.

The DEVICE.CFG file configures the hardware installed on the computer that runs the
system (e.g. COM ports, Graphics Display, Timecode Card, Serial Control Cards, Network
Interface Cards, GPI Chassis, etc.). It is typically customized for each computer, whether it’s
an Automation, Edit, Display, or Supervisory.
Because of TCP_IP protocol, the DEVICE.CFG files must be different on all systems. This file
consists of one or more lines.


TYPE
Card_type, such as PCI, PRO10, 3C509, SMCE16, or NI5210
Type of network card. Must be PCI for this version of software.
Note: PCI cards are plug-and-play, so the IRQ, IO_ADDR,
MEM_ADDR, and MEM_SIZE are ignored.
INDEX
For PCI Cards only (TYPE=PCI).
PCI cards require an INDEX keyword to select from one of several
PCI network cards. The values may be 0, 1, 2,… to select the nth PCI
network card counting from the ISA slots (in reverse order from the
PCI slot numbering).
For example, if there were PRO 100 cards in PCI slots 1 and 4, the
one in slot 4 would be index 0 and the one in slot 1 would be index 1.
IO_ADDR
For ISA cards only.
The IO_Port_Value such as IO_ADDR=0x300
MEM_ADDR
For SMCE16 type cards only (TYPE=SMCE16).
The base_of_shared_memory such as MEM_ADDR=0xCC000
The SMC diagnostics (EZSTART.EXE) show this as the segment
address (0xCC00) instead of the full address (0xCC000) and that the
full address must be given, consistent with the existing NI5210.
SMC cards are ISA cards.

Description
NUM_BUF
To gain additional free buffers, reduce from 32 to 16 the number of
buffers reserved by the Ethernet cards for DMA. Do this by specifying
NUM_BUF=16 on each of the NETWORK lines in DEVICE.CFG. For 3
cards this gains an extra 48 buffers in the free pool.
Note: This should address the situation that occasionally happens
where the free buffer count goes to zero.

!REALTIME LAN
NETWORK_3 ENABLE=N NET_IP=192.168.200.1 IRQ=9 TYPE=PCI INDEX=2

A7410 must contain network lines in the V2 format with the following items:
ENABLE=Y NET_IP=192.168.1.101 (for example) TYPE=PCI (for example) INDEX=0 (for
example). Network cards of other types (non-PCI) require different information.
A8200/A8400 v3.56.00: To allow for netcue trigger messages to be sent from D-MAS
automation to a network connected device via UDP packets an additional NETWORK# entry
(e.g. NETWORK4) must be configured in DEVICE.CFG. This entry specifies ENABLE=Y and
identifies the physical network card. <<Note: A8400 supports up to 4 network cards, which
should be sufficient to allow a separate LAN to be used for the interface to the external
NetCue system.>>
UIO-80_

would map to Klotz input 1.
N_INPUTS
The number of inputs that this D-KIF is responsible for (this is not
the number of inputs this particular automation CPU is responsible
for).
IN_DA_OFS
This indicates where this particular device (or master) automation
starts its subset of inputs that it is responsible for. This is an offset
into the Klotz Inputs, not the automation inputs. This value MUST
be less than the total number of Klotz inputs (N_INPUTS). If this is
not specified, this defaults to 0.
N_DA_INPUTS
This is the number of inputs that this particular device (or master)
automation is responsible for. If this is not specified it defaults to
the end of the Block.
OUT_OFFSET
This indicates the where to start numbering the D-KIF outputs (i.e.
subtract this number from an automation output number to get the
Klotz output number). If this is set to 200, then automation output
201 would map to Klotz output 1.
N_OUTPUTS

the number of outputs this particular automation CPU is
responsible for).
OUT_DA_OFS
This indicates where this particular device (or master) automation
starts its subset of outputs that it is responsible for. This is an

N_DA_OUTPUTS
This is the number of inputs that this particular device (or master)
automation is responsible for. If not specified it defaults to the end
of the Block.
For Example:
KLOTZGPI_1 IN_OFFSET=200 IN_DA_OFS=50 N_INPUTS=100 N_DA_INPUTS=10
Configures a D-KIF with 100 inputs (automation inputs 201-300 inclusive). The particular

Parameter Settings:



ENABLE=Y
DEV= a string indicating the location of the device file for the PCI timecode card.
(The example below is the default location for an AEC timecode reader card.)
TYPE = None
PCI timecode card: A PCI timecode card is configured as follows in device.cfg:
TIMECODE ENABLE=Y TYPE=PCI DEV=/dev/timecode/ltcr0
PCIe timecode card: D-MAS systems can be configured to use a Imagine Communications
PCIe TC Card as a timecode reference as follows in device.cfg:
TIMECODE ENABLE=Y TYPE=PCI DEV=/dev/timecode/htcr0

Device Numbers: By default, the device driver uses major device number 243, which
is one of the numbers reserved for local/experimental use. The device driver supports
a means to change this default major number.
The device driver uses one minor number for PCIe TC boards, starting with minor
number 0. Each minor number represents the LTC reader on the corresponding PCIe
TC board. Thus, minor number 0 will represent the LTC reader on the first PCIe TC
board; minor number 1 will represent the LTC reader on the second PCIe TC board;
and so on.

Device Files : Device file names are chosen for the device driver that does not
conflict with any of the standard device file names.
The device files representing LTC readers have names of the form
/dev/timecode/htcrn, where n is 0, 1, 2, … to denote different PCIe TC boards. Thus,
/dev/timecode/htcr0 represent the LTC reader on the first PCIe TC board;
/dev/timecode/htcr1 represent the LTC reader on the second PCIe TC board; and so
on.
NOTE: The driver to support this card is included in DALinux-Tools 1.1 and later.
V4 Systems: Mapping of Serial Ports is done in Device.CFG
In V4 systems the mapping of (physical) serial ports (e.g., COM1 or PORT1) to device files
(e.g., /dev/ttyQ0 or /dev/ttyQ2) is no longer configured in the port configuration file
(PORT.CFG), but in the device configuration file (DEVICE.CFG) instead. Doing so makes it

easier to reuse a (customer site) port configuration (as it appears in PORT.CFG) unchanged
on a (test) computer that lacks the same complement of serial port hardware called for by the
corresponding device configuration (as it appears in DEVICE.CFG). Changes needed to
account for differences in serial port hardware are re-stricted to DEVICE.CFG.

A8500v4, A8600v4.0, D-FCSv4, A7800v4
Format Used
The exact same format is used to configure port to device file mappings in DEVICE.CFG as
was used to configure them in PORT.CFG. For example, under previous versions the
following line in PORT.CFG:
PORT1 ENABLE=Y DEVICE=/dev/ttyQ2 USAGE=MUX1 SPEED=230400 NDATA=8
PARITY=NONE NSTOP=1 DUPLEX=FULL HANDSHAKE=NONE
would enable PORT1 and map it to device file /dev/ttyQ2. Under this version, the ENABLE
and DEVICE settings must be moved from PORT.CFG to DEVICE.CFG. Thus, the above line
would have to be modified to read as follows:
PORT1 USAGE=MUX1 SPEED=230400 NDATA=8 PARITY=NONE NSTOP=1
DUPLEX=FULL HANDSHAKE=NONE
and the following line would have to be added to DEVICE.CFG:
PORT1 ENABLE=Y DEVICE=/dev/ttyQ2
To Modify a Port.CFG for use in a Device.CFG
In general, modifying existing PORT.CFG and DEVICE.CFG for use with this version involves
the following steps:
1. Append the existing PORT.CFG to the existing DEVICE.CFG.
2. Edit the (modified) DEVICE.CFG such that only the (physical) port configuration lines
remain, removing all settings other than ENABLE and DEVICE from these lines.
3. Edit the (existing) PORT.CFG such that the ENABLE and DEVICE settings are removed
from all (physical or MUX) port configuration lines.
V4 Systems: Network Device Configuration
The mapping of networks (NETWORKn) to device names (e.g., eth0, eth1, or eth2) must be
configured in the device configuration file (DEVICE.CFG) for each of the networks configured in the system configuration file (SYSTEM.CFG). Doing so makes it easier to use a
(customer site) system configuration (as it appears in SYSTEM.CFG) on a (test) computer
that lacks the same complement of network interface hardware as called for by the (customer
site) system configuration. Changes needed to account for differences in network interface
hardware are restricted to DEVICE.CFG.
Note: Changes to UDP and TCP/IP ports and/or IP addresses may still be needed; such
changes would require modifying the (customer site) SYSTEM.CFG.
Note: A7500 V4 supports up to 6 network cards, which should be sufficient to allow a
separate LAN to be used for the interface to the external system(s).

the number of inputs this particular automation CPU is responsible
for).
IN_DA_OFS
This indicates where this particular device (or master) automation
starts its subset of inputs that it is responsible for. This is an offset
into the Klotz Inputs, not the automation inputs. This value MUST
be less than the total number of Klotz inputs (N_INPUTS). If this is
not specified, this defaults to 0.
N_DA_INPUTS
This is the number of inputs that this particular device (or master)
automation is responsible for. If this is not specified it defaults to
the end of the Block.
OUT_OFFSET
This indicates the where to start numbering the D-KIF outputs (i.e.
subtract this number from an automation output number to get the
Klotz output number). If this is set to 200, then automation output
201 would map to Klotz output 1.
N_OUTPUTS
The number of outputs that this D-KIF is responsible for (this is not
the number of outputs this particular automation CPU is
responsible for).
OUT_DA_OFS
This indicates where this particular device (or master) automation
starts its subset of outputs that it is responsible for. This is an
offset into the Klotz Outputs, not the automation outputs. This
value MUST be less than the total number of Klotz outputs
(N_OUTPUTS). If this is not specified, this defaults to 0.
N_DA_OUTPUTS
This is the number of inputs that this particular device (or master)
automation is responsible for. If not specified it defaults to the end
of the Block.
For Example:
KLOTZGPI_1 IN_OFFSET=200 IN_DA_OFS=50 N_INPUTS=100 N_DA_INPUTS=10
Configures a D-KIF with 100 inputs (automation inputs 201-300 inclusive). The particular
device (or master) automation where this file resides would only have access to automation
inputs 251 to 260 inclusive (Klotz Inputs 51 to 60 inclusive).
Valid in: A7400v4, A8600v4
GPI6800_n
Entries for devices GPI6800_n (where, n = 1 – 24) are supported to describe how the inputs
and outputs are configured on a GPI6800 unit.
D-Series automation supports using the Imagine Communications GPI6800 GPIO device to
provide digital input and output signals. The GPI6800 provides similar functionality to the
older A7980.
A GPI6800 consists of a GPC6800+FM controller card, a GPIO OBMF rear connector card
and between one and six GIO6800+FM GPIO cards installed in a 6800 series frame
(expansion rear connector cards are required if there are more than two GIO6800+FM GPIO
cards). Each GIO6800+FM GPIO card provides 32 GPIOs (which can be configured as inputs

or outputs), allowing a total of 192 GPIOs in a fully populated GPI6800 (one controller and 6
GPIO cards). A single 6800 series frame can accommodate two fully populated GPI6800
units (384 GPIOs).
Valid in: A7400v4, A7500v4, A7500v5, A8000v4, A8100v4, A8500v4, A8600v4
GPIO_n
An entry for each GPI6800 device is used to configure which GPIO daughter cards are
installed and which GPIOs are to be treated as inputs or outputs. There is one line for each
installed GPI6800 device that begins with the corresponding device name GPI6800_1
through GPI6800_24.
Each entry supports the enable keyword, which can be set to Y or N to enable or disable the
particular device. Finally, it supports the six keywords GPIO_1 through GPIO_6 which
describe how the GPIOs on each of the six possible GPIO daughter cards are to be
configured. This is specified by a group of 4 letters separated by commas describing how
each successive block of 8 GPIOs is to be configured.
Letter Codes for Configuring GPI6800 GPIO Points
Letter
Configuration
N
Block of 8 GPIOs are not configured
I
Block of 8 GPIOs are configured as inputs
O
Block of 8 GPIOs are configured as outputs
(a.k.a relays)
If GPIO daughter cards are not present, the corresponding GPIO_n keyword can be omitted
entirely: it will be treated as though “N,N,N,N” had been specified (i.e. none of the
corresponding GPIOs will be used).
For Example:
A single GPI6800 device with 2 GPIO daughter cards could be specified as
GPI6800_1 ENABLE=Y GPIO_1=I,I,I,O GPIO_2=O,O,O,O
which would configure the first 24 GPIOs on daughter card 1 as inputs, and the last 8 GPIOs
on daughter card 1 and all 32 GPIOs on daughter card 2 as outputs (for a total of 40 outputs).

CFG File Reference
Configuration Files
LICENSE.CFG
All D-Series Automation software includes a LICENCE.CFG file. The purpose of this file is to
ensure that our proprietary software is not illegally copied. The license file incorporates an
encoded key entry that must match the contents of the license file.



The license file is created by Imagine Communications and cannot be edited. The
License file incorporates an encoded key entry. If this key entry doesn’t match the
contents of the license file, software startup is prevented.
The file incorporates the NIC (network interface card) hardware address of all cards
in the system. This way the same License file may be used on all computers.
The license file checks its entries against entries defined in CFG files. (For example:
The LICENCE.CFG parameter MAX_NUM_VTRS is checked against the total
number of JPTR, VPR, and VTR machines assigned in PORT.CFG, and
MAX_NUM_VDRS against the total number of BVS, CLIP, VDR, and MAV70
machines define in PORT.CFG.)
Valid in Systems: A5500, A6500, A6800, A7410, A7500, A7600, A7800, A8000, A8100,
A8200, A8400, A8500, A8600, A8800, CAIF, D-FCSv4, Supervisory
Parameter Settings
The license configuration file allows the following parameters:
CLIENT_ID1={‘client_name’}
A string which identifies the client that who to whom license configuration file was
issued. This is displayed in several dialogs and included in diagnostic logs. This
entry is added automatically by DALsign.
CLIENT_ID2={client_ID’}
An additional identifying string (typically used to identify one of several installations
licensed by the same client). This entry is added automatically by DALsign (e.g.
A7500 System 1)
! some text
Lines beginning with “!” will be ignored (so they can be used for comments).
Applicable to: Supervisory Server
[SupervisoryServer]
This indicates the start of the Licence.cfg section that is intended for Supervisory.
Applicable to: Supervisory Server
[some other section name]
Supervisory will ignore any other sections in the Licence.cfg file apart from the
SupervisoryServer section. This allows Supervisory to share a single Licence.cfg file
with other Windows.

D-Series™ Automation
CFG File Reference
Configuration Files
The unique license number. (e.g.
KZ1217F597EC530BC97457C0A7836FCC6AFCA71Q
0E775A393EF05C0950905896E867136DAE503320)
ETHERNET_ADDR={‘xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx’}
Network Interface Card addresses. This is the hardware Ethernet address (MAC
address), unique to any network interface card (NIC) used with the automation. (See
in Intel diagnostic program.)
•
It consists of six 2-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons (e.g.
ETHERNET_ADDR=02:07:01:10:A9:A3).
Note: The “Licence.cfg” file uses a “:” character to separate the individual bytes
of an Ethernet address, while Windows uses “-”
•
This parameter may appear more than once to specify the address of more
than one card (up to 100 address entries are allowed). The MAC addresses
in the license file are typically limited to those relevant to that particular
automation component. (For example: Only the MAC addresses of the NICs
in the A7500 computers, plus maybe a couple of spares.)
•
The system will not start if one of the enabled networks has a MAC address
that is not in the list.
•
The entry ETHERNET_ADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00 is required if the
automation is to be licensed to run with the primary network disabled (mainly
useful for testing and demos).
 A zero MAC address (00:00:00:00:00:00) is required only if there are no
network cards enabled.
 A license file with a zero MAC address should never be released
because software using it may be run on any hardware, providing that all
networks are disabled. Although this restricts many features, it could be
somewhat usable for some products.

MAX_NUM_CACHE_RECORDINGS
(Default: 5)
Specifies the maximum number of encoder ports that can be configured in cache.tbl.
•
Defaults to 5 if this parameter is omitted.
•
If more than 5 record ports are required a new license file is needed.
If more than the licensed number of encoder ports are configured the automation
system will not start. Similarly it is not possible to save the CACHE.TBL after editing if
more than the licensed number of encoder ports has been configured.

PALLETTE. CFG
Pallette.CFG is used in conjunction with entries in Bus.TBL to set foreground/background
bus/channel color on the text-based Automation Interface. Bus.TBL only accepts bus color: 116
Default: Palette Colors
The following default colors are given when there are no colour_n entries in the palette.cfg:
1) bright blue
5) purple
9) pastel blue
13) pink
2) medium green
6) orangey
brown
10) light/bright green
14) yellow
3) aqua
7) light gray
11) cyan
4) red
8) dark gray
12) salmon/pinky red
The colors are similar to those shown in the following figure.
To Configure Palette.cfg
The program CLR-SET.exe is used to configure Palette.CFG and alter the RGB components
of a specific color set. When present, this executable file is located in the directory directly
above the data directory where the palette.cfg to be configured resides.
To run the program go to the directory containing clr-set and then type <clr-set> at the
command prompt. Instructions appear when the program runs.

CFG File Reference
Configuration Files
PORT.CFG
The port configuration file consists of one or more lines. Each line defines the settings for one
port. Comments begin at an exclamation mark and end at the end of the line. Blank lines are
allowed.
Valid in Systems: A5500, A6500, A6800, A7410, A7500, A7600, A7800, A8000, A8100,
A8200, A8400, A8500, A8600, A8800, CAIF
Command line option (--show-port-settings) displays the port settings. The settings
displayed include both the configured values for ports that appear in the port configuration file
(PORT.CFG), and the default values for ports that do not appear in this file.
V4 Systems: Mapping of serial ports done in Device.cfg
In v4 Systems, the mapping of (physical) serial ports (e.g., COM1 or PORT1) to device files
(e.g., /dev/ttyQ0 or /dev/ttyQ2) is no longer configured in the port configuration file
(PORT.CFG), but in the device configuration file (DEVICE.CFG) instead. Doing so makes it
easier to reuse a (customer site) port configuration (as it appears in PORT.CFG) unchanged
on a (test) computer that lacks the same complement of serial port hardware called for by the
corresponding device configuration (as it appears in DEVICE.CFG). Changes needed to
account for differences in serial port hardware are re-stricted to DEVICE.CFG.
Standard Format
Port.cfg entries have the following format: port USAGE=function
[setting=value...] The following tables define the Port.CFG entry fields.
Example Entry Formats:
Com1 Com2
Com1 Enable=Y Speed=9600 Parity=None Ndata=8 Nstop=1 Handshake=None

Com2 Enable=Y Speed=9600 Parity=None Ndata=8 Nstop=1 Handshake=None

Port
Port name. Valid port names have the format XXXnnn, where XXX denotes the type of port,
and nnn its number. Within the M/2000, each port is identified by a unique number, which is
determined by the combination of port type (XXX) and number (nnn). Valid ports are
described below:
For V4 systems, these parameters are now specified in DEVICE.CFG: A7400v4,
A7500v4, A7800v4, A8000v4, A8100v4, A8200v4, A8500v4, A8600v4.0, D-FCSv4
ID
Description
Number
COM1-COM2
Standard PC ports.
0-1
PORT1-PORT64
Ports on the McCurdy SER8 or SER12 serial interface
card(s), or the equivalent. (**)
2-65
Ser12 ports start at PORT1 in PORT.CFG. Ser12_a
maps to PORT1 through PORT12, Ser12_b to PORT13
through PORT24, and so on.
The system does not support mixing SER8 and SER12
cards
MUX1-MUX120
Ports on the McCurdy 8:1serial port multiplexor(s).
66-185
SER8 (or equivalent) or HOSTESS ports.
(**) Older versions of the M/2000 use HOSTESS1-HOSTESS32, instead of PORT1PORT32, to designate the ports on Hostess serial interface card(s).
About MUX Setup
Set up comms to the mux by assigning it a port.

The MUX port designation is driven by the port usage:
•


Port1=mux1
Mux1 has 6 physical ports – the numbering starts from 1 not 0. Therefore port1
(usage) = Mux1 would drive mux ports (mux1 – mux6).
•
Mux2 – 7 to 12
•
Mux3 – 13 to 18
•
Mux4 – 19 to 24 and so on…
Each mux number refers to a port off the back of the mux8 and they are sequential
across all mux’s
Machine control index numbers are taken from the mux numbers in port.cfg
USAGE=function
String that assigns the port to specific interfaces or subsystems. Usage strings have the
format XXXnnn, where the ‘XXX’ is a string that identifies the subsystem, and the ‘nnn’ is an
optional number that identifies the subsystem instance. Valid usage strings are site-specific;
some valid usage strings are listed below:

CFG File Reference
Configuration Files
SPECCHAR.CFG
The SPECCHAR.CFG file is an optional configuration file. It is used to change the characters
that the automation software uses for displaying special symbols on the screen. When this
file is used it must be located in the DATA subdirectory. Defaults are used when the file is not
present, or if the value for a special character is not explicitly listed in the file.




If a standard font is used (one of the fonts included with the release software or the
default font), remove the SPECCHAR.CFG configuration file from the configuration.
The SPECCHAR.CFG configuration file remaps special characters; the default font
has all special characters in the default location for an English installation. Having a
SPECCHAR.CFG and using the built-in font may result in incorrect characters being
seen on the display.
Non-English installations may require SPECCHAR.CFG.
Use SPECCHAR.CFG to relocate characters that would be overwritten by the Cyrillic
set.
Special characters used to display transition icons may be remapped with
SPECCHAR.CFG.
Warning: Do not use if graphics mode is enabled. Delete the “specchar.cfg” file.
Valid in Systems: A6500, A6800, A7410, A7500, A8000, A8100, A8200, A8500, A8600,

STORE.CFG
STORE.CFG is used to configure the store format. This file allows each site to omit certain
unused fields from the store, and to make some fields smaller, which can result in a much
shorter store record. Located in the DATA sub-directory, STORE.CFG is read at system startup time and, like other configuration files, it cannot be viewed or edited on-line.


Required fields must be included in the event (STORE.CFG).
Implied fields are automatically included when their associated field is included in the
event (STORE.CFG).
Optional Fields may be omitted from the event (STORE.CFG). An optional field name
must appear in store.cfg if it is to be used.
If the STORE.CFG file is omitted, the store is automatically configured as it was in
the past, and all optional fields are included.
If the STORE.CFG file is present, the optional fields are omitted unless they are
specified in the file.
The following display-only fields can not be included in the store configuration file
(STORE.CFG), since they should never appear in the store record:
BUS
RESERVE_FLAG
CONFLICT_FLAG
DATE
SOURCE_FLAG
ERROR_FLAG
SLAVE_BUS
TIME_FLAG

To View all Available Options
The –storeinfo3 startup option provides a concise list of all fields possible in the store in a
format that may be used as a STORE.CFG file or may be edited to change the store
configuration. There are some header and trailer lines that must be deleted using an editor,
but the data portion of the output is consistent with the STORE.CFG format. This should be
used as a guide only. Presence in the list of does not indicate validity in STORE.CFG,
however absence in the list does indicate invalidity in STORE.CFG.

AUTO_SEG / AUTO_SEGMENT
When starting to play out a live event on a play out bus, normally there are several
play out program events interspersed with commercial events. Each of these
program events must be flagged with a special value in the new single character
AUTO_SEGMENT field.
•
Taking an event with a value of “R” (reset) causes any existing segments to
be deleted and a new single segment started at this point.
•
Taking an event with a value of “A” (add) causes a new segment to be added
with the next higher segment number. (Note: This field is case sensitive.)
•
Taking an event with any other value (in particular blank) does not cause an
automatic segment message to be sent.
•
When a program event flagged with either an “A” or an “R” this ends, another
message is sent in order to update the segment duration to match the actual
duration.
Valid in Systems: A7500v4, A8100v4, D-AISv3,

DSK<n>_INTIME_FLAG
(where n – 1 to 16)
To schedule DSK start offsets relative of the end of the primary event (Figure 2) the
DSK start time is recalculated when the primary event is taken to air by following
formula.
DSK Start Offset (new) = Primary event duration – DSK Start Offset (old) (1)
The countdown starts from the new DSK Start Offset value. The DSK is faded/cut up
over new DSK start offset time after the primary event is taken to air (Figure 3).
To make it configurable, added 2 fields (ASCII field + binary field) are added for each
of 16 DSK subevents) to D-MAS. These fields are used to determine how DSK start
offsets are interpreted.
•
The size of each field is 1 byte. So event size is increased by 32 bytes.
•
The following values are available:
 “-” - The DSK’s Time Offset is specified relative to the end of primary
event. See Figure 2. The time offset will be recalculated for on-air event
by formula (1). See Figure 3. If primary event duration is not a valid
numeric value, the flag will be considered as incorrect.
 “+” - The DSK’s Time Offset is specified relative to the begin of primary
event. See Figure 1.
 Blank - the same as “+”.
Implied Field: The following field is included when the DSK<n>_INTIME_FLAG field

•
SWR_REM_SUBDUR_ LIST is filled using information about event and
subevent out times which can be obtained from On-air storage.
•
Since Schedule Servers may not have proper out times data when event is
just taken due to delays in storage synchronization, now sending information
about durations is postponed for 150 milliseconds. All Schedule Servers
should have correct storage data to this time guaranteed.
•
As a result the Slave system will take the event with duration value stored in
corresponding event field. Then after 150 milliseconds all durations are
updated so that in future the main event and all subevents will end
simultaneously on Primary and Slave side.

TIMEZONE.CFG
The file defines all of the time zones recognized by the system. When a time zone is called
by another table, the standard name is used. Each time zone has a standard definition and
optional daylight savings time information. The first time zone in the table must be UTC.
Valid in Systems: A6500, A7400, A7410, A7500, A7800, A8100, A8200, A8500, A8600,

IMPORTANT: The rules for DST (Daylight Saving Time) are changing and are effective in
2007. To comply with these new rules, configuration changes are required within
timezone.cfg which is used by the automation system to compile and reflect various
timezones. This file must be properly configured to avoid any undesired automation
behavior.

Prior to 2007, the entries to describe Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Daylight Savings
Time were:
7
EDT
7
EST
-4:00 Y 0 3 1-7
4 0-0
-5:00 N 0 1 25-31 10 0-0
This describes EDT as commencing on the last Sunday in April at 3 a.m. The minute before
is 1:59 a.m. EST. EST begins on the last Sunday in October at 1 a.m., with the preceding
minute of 1:59 a.m. EDT.
Daylight Savings Time from 2007 forward
Due to the new 2007 Timezome Change rules, these are changed as follows:
7
EDT
7
EST
-4:00 Y 0 3 8-14
3 0-0
-5:00 N 0 1 1-7 11 0-0
Which tells the system, to process EDT on the second Sunday of March and reverts to EST
on the first Sunday of November.
Note: Recent years have seen more harmonization with daylight saving changes and,
although it is not yet an internationally agreed standard, most of Europe changes to Summer
time on the last Sunday of March and reverts to standard time on the last Sunday of October.
