Hi Andy,

A little while ago we started down the AXIA certification path but we haven't progressed it very far yet. I did spend some time getting familiar with it all though, and I've attached a file I wrote a little while ago that Myriad v3.5 can use to recieve commands from the AXIA network.

You have to be running v3.5 though, and you need to turn on the Myriad Settings option to allow remote control via TCP/IP (even though in this case it's actually UDP!)

In terms of End Of Item etc. we did talk to AXIA about this but to achieve it means quite a lot of integration work so isn't something we can achieve easily. Anyone who manages it though we'd be keen to hear about!

I'm trying out Myriad with the Axia IP-Audio drivers, with an Axia Element mixing console (www.axiaaudio.com).



Works great! No sound cards!



However one thing I don't know how to do, is to get the Axia console to start the Myriad players.





It should be possible, I think to map a virtual GPIO from the console to Myriad, but I assume certain jiggery-pokery will have to be done to both systems to get them talking.



It should also be possible to get Myriad to make the desk show 'end of item' etc warnings on the desk's displays, and get Myriad to turn the channel on if the player is started from the Myriad keyboard.



Anyone with any experience of this have any ideas?
