# ETC Response Gateway (Multicast)

{% hint style="info" %}
This will not impact the communication between the gateway and an ETC Eos console.
{% endhint %}

## 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
