Specifications
- Product: DS100
- Specification No.: DOC05325
- Version: 1.3.9
Product Information
The d&b OSC Protocol document for DS100 provides specifications and guidelines for controlling the DS100 using the OSC protocol. It allows users to control relevant functionalities of the DS100 using devices or software that can send OSCmessages. The DS100 uses the UDP transport layer, listening for incomingmessages on Port 50010 and sending replies on Port 50011. OSC is advertised via DNS-SD as _osc. _ udp.

License-dependent matrix I/O sizes
Depending on the running (active) license on DS100 and/or DS100M machines, the following matrix in- and output (in x out) assignments at the given sampling rates apply:
- DS100:
- 64 x 24 @ 48 kHz or 96 kHz 64 x 64 @ 48 kHz or 96 kHz 128 x 64 @ 48 kHz
- DS100M:
- 64 x 24 @ 48 kHz or 96 kHz 64 x 64 @ 48 kHz or 96 kHz 128 x 64 @ 48 kHz or 96 kHz
Throughout this specification sheet, possible entries in the “OSC Address Pattern” for “Matrix input” are noted as [iii] and for “Matrix output” are noted as [oo] as place holder for numeric values of up to 3 digits.
Description
- In addition to the AES70/OCA protocol, the DS100 supports the possibility to control a set of the relevant functionalities using the OSC protocol (OSC 1.0 specification1). This allows control of the DS100 from devices or software that can send OSC messages.
- The DS100 uses the UDP transport layer. The DS100 uses Port 50010 to listen for (receive) incoming messages, Port 50011 is used to send replies.
OSC is advertised via DNS-SD as _osc._udp
General OSC path definition
<OSC path> : = /dbaudio1 // d&b identifier
- /module // part of the signal path
- /name // name
- /number // in the matrix, this is the input [blank if not needed]
- /number // in the matrix, this is the output [blank if not needed]
- value(s)
Example of setting a value (write):
/dbaudio1/matrixnode/enable/22/33 ,i 1
This command sets the Enable function at the crosspoint of input 22 and output 33 in the matrix to ON.
Example of retrieving a value (read):
/dbaudio1/matrixnode/enable/21/31 [without any value]
This command retrieves the state of the Enable function at the crosspoint of input 21 and output 31 in the matrix.
The response of the DS100 will be as follows:
/dbaudio1/matrixnode/enable/21/31 ,i 1
This response indicates that the Enable function at the crosspoint of input 21 and output 31 in the matrix is currently ON.
OSC Address Pattern (wildcards, ranges)
‘?’ in the OSC Address Pattern matches any single character.
Example:
- /dbaudio1/matrixinput/mute/4? [no value]
This command will read the mute value of inputs 40–49. The response will be as follows:
- /dbaudio1/matrixinput/mute/40 i, 0
- … /dbaudio1/matrixinput/mute/49 i, 0
- ‘*’ in the OSC Address Pattern matches any sequence of zero or more characters
Example of retrieving many values (read):
- /dbaudio1/matrixoutput/mute/* [no value]
The command will read the mute values of all matrix outputs. When all matrix output mutes are OFF (unmuted), the response will be as follows:
- /dbaudio1/matrixoutput/mute/1 ,i 0
- … /dbaudio1/matrixoutput/mute/64, i 0
A string of characters in square brackets (e.g., ‘[abcd]’) in the OSC Address Pattern matches any character in the string. Inside square brackets, the minus sign (–) and exclamation point (!) have special meanings:
- Two characters separated by a minus sign indicate the range of characters between the given two in the ASCII collating sequence. (A minus sign at the end of the string has no special meaning.)
- An exclamation point at the beginning of a bracketed string negates the sense of the list, meaning that the list matches any character not in the list. (An exclamation point anywhere besides the first character after the open bracket has no special meaning.)
Example of setting multiple values (write):
/dbaudio1/matrixoutput/mute/2[4-9], i 1 This command will set the mute function for outputs 24–29 to ON (muted).
Note:
The contents of [abcd] apply on a character basis. In the example above, writing [26–74] will NOT mute outputs 26 to 74 but outputs 2, 6–7, and 4. A comma-separated list of strings enclosed in curly brackets (e.g., “{in, out}”) in the OSC Address Pattern matches any of the strings in the list.
Example:
/dbaudio1/matrixinput/mute/{9,10,64}
This command requests the mute state of channels 9, 10, and 64.
Example of setting many values (write):
/dbaudio1/matrix{in,out}put/mute/* ,i 1
This command will set the mute function for any input and output to ON (muted).
