START-UP & OPERATION PANEL FUNCTIONS TECHNICAL DATA

4.1 LOCATION, ASSEMBLY AND VENTILATION
Vida series devices have a 19" rack format (2RU).
It is very important not to enclose the amplifier or expose it to extreme temperatures as it generates heat. It is also necessary to promote the passage of fresh air through the ventilation holes of the chassis. The ventilation system forces the air flow, front to back, through the unit.
If multiple products are installed in the same rack or in a cabinet with closed doors, it is highly recommended to install fans in their upper and lower ends for a forced airflow from the bottom up. This upward air flow will help to dissipate the heat generated inside.
It is advisable not to place power amplifiers under other appliances, but upon these ones, leaving at least one rack unit off between each device and installed above and below it in the rack frame.
4.2 MAINS CONNECTION
VIDA operates on alternating voltages from 90 to 264V and 47 to 63Hz. This device is equipped with an oversized power supply capable of adapting without any type of adjustment to the mains voltage of any country in the world.

4.6.2 OPERATION EXAMPLE

AMP OUT1: HIZ-100V AMP OUT2: HIZ-70V
When HIZ is selected, 2ohm switch has no effect.

AMP OUT3: LOZ-8ohm AMP OUT4: LOZ-2ohm
When LOZ is selected, and 2ohm switch is in 2ohm position (down), switch 4/8ohm has no effect.

The connection cable that joins the amplifiers outputs and the loudspeakers must be of good quality, sufficient section and as short as possible.

8.2 FIRST STEPS
To access the VIDA web application from an external device (computer, tablet, etc.) using a browser, first make sure that both devices are physically connected to the same local area network (LAN), and configured within the same network range.
DHCP is the default network configuration mode. If you have a router/switch with a DHCP server (see the specifications for your device), network configuration is automatic so there is no need for you to do any re-configuration.
There are 3 ways to connect to the embedded VIDA web application:
8.2.1 AUTOMATIC CONNECTION USING THE ECLER VIDA USER WEB APP
1. Download the Ecler VIDA app from the app store for your device. 2. Connect the VIDA device to the router/switch using a CAT5 or higher cable (NET1
Ethernet port on the VIDA device) 3. Connect your Smartphone to the same local network as the VIDA device over
WiFi. 4. Open the app and click on "Setup Device". Follow the instructions. 5. A list of all VIDA devices on the network will be shown. When you click on a listed
device, you can see further information and its web connection and IP address. 6. Copy one or more links and paste them into your browser, on the same or another
device.
8.2.2 AUTOMATIC CONNECTION USING A COMPUTER
1. Connect the VIDA device to the router/switch using a CAT5 or higher cable (NET1 Ethernet port on the VIDA device)
2. Connect your browser-equipped device (computer, tablet, etc.) to the same local network (router/switch). You can do this over a wired or WiFi connection, depending on your network device and computer/Tablet.
3. Check the label on the back panel or the additional label in the packaging, and enter the web address shown here (http://vida-24q-xxxx.local) into your browser. The last 4 digits of the web address are the same as the MAC address of the device.

8.7 ROUTING
Signal routing for the amplifier.
The routing of the amplified and auxiliary outputs is independent, and can be configured as follows:
· Mixer: allows the mixing of several sources in the same output. Outputs configured as a mixer will appear in the Mixer/Matrix window.
· Zoner: allows the routing of sources. It is not possible to mix sources on the same output; however, a source selector is built into each output. Outputs configured as zoners will appear in the Zoner window.
Configurable matrix:
· 4x6: 4 input sources, 6 outputs (4 are amplified outputs - OUT - and 2 are auxiliary outputs - AUX-).
· 4x4: 4 input sources, 4 amplified outputs (amplified outputs configured as mixer, auxiliary outputs configured as zoner).
· 4x2: 4 input sources, 2 auxiliary outputs (amplified outputs configured as zoners, auxiliary outputs configured as mixers).
The digital outputs always operate in zoner mode as an audio signal router.
In VIDA, there are several types of input signals:
· 4x Analogue inputs: balanced line inputs. · 4x Digital inputs: DanteTM/ AES67 digital audio inputs. · 1x Audio player. · 1x Signal generator.
A Source is the combination of two input signals, a primary and a secondary signal. There can be no secondary. In VIDA, 4 independently configurable sources are available. Sources are the input signals to the audio matrix (mixer mode) or the sources available on the router (zoner mode).

8.11 VERSAPOWER
VersaPower is the amplifier technology developed by Ecler which allows asymmetrical power distribution between the amplified outputs, independent of the load.
The Smart VersaPower tool allows you to limit the maximum power delivered at each amplified output and adjust gain automatically. The maximum power of the amplifier can be distributed asymmetrically between the outputs.
Specify the sensitivity of an audio input and set the desired maximum RMS power for each amplified output.
The sum of the maximum RMS power for the four amplified outputs (Total power used) may not exceed the maximum total power of the amplifier.
Enabling Smart VersaPower disables the gain adjustment in the IO Setup section for the outputs..
Smart VersaPower is enabled by def0ault, configured as a symmetrical amplifier, 4x600W, for inputs with 0dB sensitivity.

to the same amplifier group (Group ID). · An output can belong to several network groups. · An amplifier can only belong to one amplifier group (Group ID). · The network groups and Group ID are independent of the VIDA amplifier
model. The network groups allow control of the volume of different outputs
belonging to different VIDA amplifier models: VIDA-16Q*, VIDA-24Q and VIDA-48Q*
* VIDA-16Q and VIDA-48Q will be available soon.
If the two network interfaces, NET1 and NET2, are connected the network groups will communicate via the NET1 interface only. If only one network interface is connected, the network groups will communicate over that interface.

10. TP-NET PROTOCOL
10.1 INTRODUCTION TP-NET PROTOCOL
The TP-NET protocol allows a client machine (or control device) to query and modify various internal parameters.
Communication with such devices can be done over Ethernet and using the UDP/IP transport protocol, using UDP registered port 5800.
The protocol is simple and textual, making it easy to read, write code and modify, and is message-based, with no need for start and end delimiters: each message is implicitly delimited by the size of the UDP packet. The maximum message size is 80 characters. All texts must be written in capital letters.
To facilitate the processing of messages in control systems such as CRESTRON®, AMX®, RTI®, VITY®, MEDIALON®, etc., the device adds the character LF (0x0A) at the end of each message. If the client program does not have time to process the received messages one by one, it can concatenate consecutive messages into a single memory string (buffer) and separate them again later using the LF delimiter. The device also allows several messages to be sent in a single data packet and read using the delimiter.
Messages are made up of one or more fields, separated by blanks ( = blank space):
<TYPE> [PARAM1] [PARAM2] [PARAM3] [PARAM4][LF]
The first field (TYPE) defines the type of message, and therefore the number of parameters required below (each type of message requires a certain number of parameters). The TYPE field can have the following values:
· SYSTEM · GET · SET · INC · DEC · Subscribe to · UNSUBSCRIBE · DATA · ERROR

START-UP & OPERATION PANEL FUNCTIONS TECHNICAL DATA

SYSTEM, GET, SET, INC, DEC, SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE messages can be sent from the client to the device; DATA and ERROR messages are sent from the device to the client. SYSTEM PING is the only SYSTEM message sent by the device if the optional PINGPONG parameter is specified in the client SYSTEM CONNECT message.
Communication is initiated when a client sends a SYSTEM CONNECT message to the device. As UDP communication is connectionless (unlike TCP communication), the device stores the IP address of the client sending the SYSTEM CONNECT message to be used as a destination for the messages generated by the device itself (DATA and ERROR). After receiving a connection message, the device performs a data dump by sending all implemented DATA values one by one.
Communication can be terminated in two ways:
· Manually: when the client sends the SYSTEM DISCONNECT message , which cancels all subscriptions and stops the sending of DATA and ERROR
· Automatically: if in the initial SYSTEM CONNECT message the optional parameter PINGPONG was specified and the client has not received SYSTEM PONG messages for a period over 10 seconds (assumed loss of communication).
SET messages sent by the client have no feedback, i.e. The device does not send a DATA message after processing the SET message. The client updates the value internally with the data sent to the device and, if necessary, uses a GET message to verify that the parameter has been correctly processed in the device.
· Numerical values are always unsigned whole numbers (positive numbers without decimals).
· [PINGPONG] is an optional parameter used to configure communication with the client so that it is possible to determine whether either party has terminated communication. When configured in this way, the device sends a SYSTEM PING message periodically (once every second) to the client, which must reply with a SYSTEM PONG message. If either party does not receive the relevant message within 10 seconds, communication is deemed to have been terminated.
· <Input Channel> and <Output Channel> are numeric values that identify an input or output channel on the device.
· <Preset Number> is a numeric value that identifies one of the Presets available in the device's memory.
· <Level>, <Pre VUmeter Level> and <Post VUmeter Level> are numerical values in the range [0-100] which define values on a scale equivalent to [-inf-0] in dB
· <GPI> and <GPO> are numeric values in the range [1-8]. · <GPI Value> is a numeric value in the range [0-100] that indicates the value of an
analogue input. If the input is digital, the two possible values are 0 and 100.

· <GPO Value> is a numeric value in the range [0-1], i.e. it can only take the value 0 or 1 (relay contact open or closed).
· <Rate> is a numeric value in the range [1-10] that specifies the frequency of sending VU meters to the client, in number per second (default = 3).
· "<Device Name>" indicates the device name in double quotes to allow for names with spaces.
· <Error ID> is a numeric value encoding a type of error. · "<Error Description>" is a text string enclosed in double quotes containing a
description of the error.
10.2 VIDA PARAMETERS
Communication between client and device is established with an initial SYSTEM CONNECT message. If not, commands from the client to the device will be ignored by the device. See the chapter TP-NET Protocol Introduction for more information.
The INC and DEC commands generate a DATA command response from the device, containing the resulting LEVEL value, incremented or decremented. When the INC or DEC command attempts to adjust to a value outside the minimum and maximum allowed limits, no response will be produced (no DATA command will be sent).
