ETC Response Gateway (Multicast)

Steps to configure an ETC Response Gateway for use with multiple Vor devices

This will not impact the communication between the gateway and an ETC Eos console.

Required Items

• ETC Response Gateway (MIDI or SMPTE)

• A device running ETC’s Concert software

This assumes the IP address is already configured for all devices.

In Concert

1. Click "Begin Work"

2. Right click in the bottom left hand box (Discovered Devices) and click "Add All Devices"

3. Click the "Spreadsheet" tab

4. Click the Response MIDI or SMPTE Gateway

5. SMPTE

   1. Under the property editor, open "UDP SMPTE"

   2. Change the "Destination IP Address" to a multicast address (224.0.0.1 is one example)

6. MIDI

   1. Under the property editor, open "UDP MIDI"

   2. Open "MIDI In"

   3. Change the "Destination IP Address" to a multicast address (224.0.0.1 is one example)

7. Change the "Destination UDP Port" to 5004

8. Change the "UDP Terminator" to CR

9. Click "Send Device Configuration" in the top menu bar (red arrow, not red arrow with globe)

In Vor:

1. Open Preferences

2. Click Connections

3. Click "ETC Response (Default)"

4. Change the format to either MIDI or SMPTE, depending on the gateway in use

5. Change the "Terminator" to "Carriage Return (CR)"

6. Change the "Port" to "5004"

7. Tick the box next to "Multicast", ensuring the multicast address matches the multicast address configured in the gateway

8. Place a widget as you normally would

9. When timecode runs, you should now be able to see it on both the gateway's screen, and in Vor
