Biamp Tesira

This module will allow you to control the Biamp Tesira family of devices.

Configuration

• Enter the IP address of the device in the configuration settings.

Available actions:

• Set fader to a specific level
• Increment fader up continuously
• Increment fader down continuously
• Stop incrementing
• Custom command
• Recall Preset

If you want a specific action to be added, please open an issue request on the module repo.

Presets:

• Increase Fader Level (with down action to start the action, up action to stop it)
• Decrease Fader Level (same actions)

Variables / device feedback

• you can use a custom commmand to subscribe to status updates from the tesira. Use the following command format:

• (InstanceTag) subscribe (attribute) (index) (CustomLabel) (250)

• (InstanceTag) is found in the tesira DSP configuration

• subscribe is a command to tesira which causes it to respond anytime the specified object is changed

• (attribute) is dependent on the specific object being referenced (ex. a level control has an attribute called 'level', and an attribute called 'mute') - reference the tesira text protocol information at biamp.com for full information

• (index) is also dependent on the object being referenced (ex: a level control may have multiple channels, in this case, index is the channel number)

• (CustomLabel) this is important, as the tesira will respond with updates attached to this label, which translates to the variable name that you'll find in companion (ex: Level1)

• (250) this number (can be anything) is the time in milliseconds between possible updates. 250 should be a good starting point. objects like RMS meters can cause congestion if allowed to update too often

• all responses are captured into a variable that can be used in button text in the format $(instanceName:CustomLabel)
