T*AP

Introduction

At the heart of the T*AP is a sophisticated audio processor, powered by Analog Devices® Sharc DSPs. These DSPs provide the 10 channel audio processing and monitoring facility. They are surrounded by several I/O interfaces, audio delay lines and an optional Dolby® decoder and encoder.

The four AES3id I/Os on the motherboard may be rounded up by a variety of interface modules that can be installed as an option into the Base Unit’s interface slots.

A comprehensive routing matrix allows almost every signal flow - from inputs to outputs, from and to Dolby® encoder / decoder, the built in audio delay lines and the audio processor itself.

The routing architecture uses the industry's most advanced event management. Triggered by GPIs, Hot Keys on the X*AP Remote Panel, internal status information or network based remote control, the T*AP may be reconfigured from surround to multiple stereo operation on the fly.

Routing paths, the enabling and disabling of audio processing blocks and the setting of processing parameters can be pre configured by individual presets dedicated to each function block. The content of the presets can be displayed and edited off line while the device is on air. These presets may either be recalled on demand by the operator via the GUI, the X*AP Remote Panel Hot Keys or play-out automation systems, but may also be part of complex scenarios defined by the operator and automatically executed by the event manager of the device.

The T*AP provides a web based setup GUI and a X*AP Remote Panel that displays status and metering information and allows user intervention. Due to the complexity of the device, the features of the X*AP Remote Panel are limited to operating needs.

Junger Audio’s LoudnessLogger is also available as an add on and can be attached by a few simple clicks to the T*AP so that users can log loudness data as well as display it as a plot on a PC screen in real time.

Completing the feature set of the T*AP is the availability of an SNMP agent, which provides traps and status polling. As an option, it can also control the internal loudness measurement and the retrieval of measurement data.

As with most advanced tools, T*AP can be driven in a variety of ways, depending on requirements and ideas of the user. These can range from the simple and straightforward through to quite complex set ups. Although this manual explains the functions and general operation of the T*AP, it does not give detailed scenarios because the operational needs of today’s broadcasters vary so widely between organizations and their work flows and cover so many different parameters – from ingest to studio operation, from master control rooms to play-out or even rebroadcast applications.

Junger Audio is more than happy to discuss your particular requirements with you and to convey your ideas and solutions to other users of the T*AP community.

hardware concept

T*AP

The T*AP consists of a Base Unit that carries all relevant connectors and a detachable X*AP Remote Panel both in 19" 1RU format.

The X*AP Remote Panel is powered by POE (Power Over Ethernet) and designed to control multiple Base Units one at a time.

For a stand alone installation the X*AP Remote Panel may be attached to a dedicated Base Unit by brackets. In this case we highly recommend to support the chassis by additional brackets screwed to the rear as shown above or by metal angles supporting the device from the bottom.

Base Unit front panel view

The front panel of the Base Unit shows 4 status LEDs :

STATUS general representation of the device status. It is a sum display of all relevant

Power 1 status of power supply # 1 Power 2 status of power supply # 2 BYPASS shows if one of the audio processing parts of the T*AP is put into bypass mode

status information

For fail safe operation the Base Unit provides two independent power supplies. These power supplies operate in load balance. The status of both PS are displayed on the Base Unit front panel as well as on the

X*AP Remote Panel. STATUS LED shows the status of the device controller

INIT pressing the INIT button briefly will warm start the device controller. Holding down the button until the STATUS LED flashes 3 times will initialize the

block diagram

T*AP

The above schematic shows the principal blocks of the T*AP. The core of the unit is the 10 channel Audio Processor with 2ch Aux inputs and a 2ch monitor output.

On the motherboard you will find 4x AES3id I/Os which are bridged by relays in case of a power failure. Two I/O slots which may carry option boards allow for extremely flexible interfacing of the T*AP. I.e. you may process the audio signals of two independent TV programs.

The unit may also be fitted with Dolby E/D/D+ decoder and encoder. For comprehensive metadata processing the unit has serial metadata I/O connectors. All metadata functions are centralized in a metadata Co-processor.

The sync circuit provides all features to integrate the T*AP into digital processing environments. Other devices may be synchronized by the word clock output of the T*AP.

Beside the option to delay all DSP outputs, the T*AP has 4x 2Ch delay lines that may be routed into any signal path of the device.

T*AP

audio processing blocks

Speaking in D-E terminology, the T*AP may be configured as a surround sound processor with additional stereo program processing (5.1 + 2) or as a four times stereo processor (4 x 2).

Audio processor block diagram 5.1 + 2 program configuration :

Audio processing block diagram 4 x 2 program configuration :

Important Note! In a 4 x 2 configuration, the processing links between stereo channels may be disabled via the respective function block, to perform full or partial mono processing if required. You must keep in mind that such a configuration is still treated as 4 programs if it comes to program related setups and information such like the Dolby Metadata.

T*AP

control concept

The communication between the X*AP Remote Panel, the Base Unit, setup and operating tools, is based on TCP/IP over Ethernet.

The setup GUI utilizes web technology. At the time of editing this manual the functionality of the web GUI is developed for Firefox 15.1.

The setup GUI will be completed by several application programs running under MS Windows® XP, W7 like the JA Application Manager.

An SNMP agent is also available on the device and may be explored by a monitoring system. Junger highly recommends using the l-s-b Ember+ protocol which is widely distributed in the European

broadcast industry where the user community is increasing rapidly world wide. By the way, the X*AP Remote Panel and the Base Unit "talk" Ember natively. For backwards compatibility the T*AP supports both the Ember (on TCP port 9999) and Ember+ (on TCP port 9000).

operating concept

Further below you will see that the setup GUI for the device is grouped into several parameter areas. One can reach the parameters via a 3 tier navigation by tabs which may have sub tabs and the sub tabs may have page embedded soft buttons for groups of parameters.

Each parameter area has a set of presets. The presets can be recalled at any time during operation, either by manual intervention, automatically by the internal event manager or by external authorities.

For all relevant settings an ON AIR and a PRESET part exists. I.e. you may either edit the parameters ON AIR or offline for the respective part of the T*AP. You may recall such presets at any time manually, or automatically.

The presets of the T*AP are persistent by nature. You are working directly on the preset memory, i.e. you must not worry about storing such presets. The T*AP does it for you.

event concept

With the T*AP you have a sophisticated event management system on hand. Events are bound to Trigger which may be nested and are defined by the logical combination

(AND, OR, XOR) of two random trigger sources. Such a trigger source may be device status information (e.g. sync lost), GPIs, network commands, hotkeys of the X*AP Remote Panel, status (true or false) of parameters.

The pre defined trigger may ignite events which will recall presets from the several function blocks of the T*AP :

* Preset Events for System, Interfaces, Routing, Dolby Processing, Audio Processing * Action Events for GPOs, Loudness Measurement * Bypass Events for pre configured bypass scenarios

T*AP

getting started – basic X*AP Remote Panel operation

The communication interface of the T*AP is based on TCP/IP over Ethernet. The X*AP Remote Panel as well as the Base Unit must have unique IP addresses in order to "talk" to each other as well as to other devices within the Local Area Network. An X*AP Remote Panel may for now control up to 4 Base Units, one at a time.

If the X*AP Remote Panel is attached mechanically to a Base Unit it should be connected via the Ethernet socket on the front panel of the Base Unit. If the X*AP Remote Panel is detached from the Base Unit, one may use the CAT5 cabling of a facility or the OB-Van to connect it to the distant Base Units front socket in order to get power. If it must be connected via a router of the network, this router must have a POE (Power Over Ethernet) port. If this is not the case, you must use a wall plug POE power supply.

After power up and booting, the X*AP Remote Panel shows the T*AP Base Units which are "attached" to it. The display shows the respective device "Name", the IP address and the connect "Status". Options are "connect", "can't connect" and "unknown device". In case of "connect" you may press one of the highlighted buttons.

If you press the <F-Key> the X*AP Remote Panel will connect with that Base Unit. (The above example has just one T*AP Base Unit attached for remote control ). Now the X*AP Remote Panel will gather all necessary information from that Base Unit (may take a few seconds) and open up the main operating display :

Because this is the main operating display, the <ESC> button light red to indicate that the power up display is above the main display. Pressing <ESC> returns you back to the device selection.

getting started – IP setup in general

The process of installing a T*AP into an IP network is as follows :

1. Ask the system service people for two unique IP addresses of the network, netmask and gateway address

2. Assign the Base Unit an IP address

3. Assign the X*AP Remote Panel an IP address

4. Attach the Base Unit to the X*AP Remote Panel You have 2 choices to assign the Base Unit an IP address :

* From the serial console interface * Via Web browser

! Important Note: If you are not familiar with setting up devices for IP communication, we highly

recommend you consult your system service or IT department to assist you.

T*AP

operating – menu structure of the X*AP Remote Panel - principle of operation

If you are in a specific parameter menu the display structure may change due to the program configuration of the T*AP. Below is an example for setting the parameters for the Dynamics while the T*AP is in

5.1 + 2 program configuration and operates in ITU mode. In this case you have two parameter sets for the first program: ALL and LFE (if the LFE is not linked). Since the Dynamics have two subsections: Expander and Compressor, this menu has two pages, indicated by the number in the top right hand corner :

You may switch between both pages with the <page> button <Hotkey 1> toggles between the two parameter sets ALL / LFE. The parameter set under control is highlighted. If for example you now press <Hotkey 5>, the Release setting for the LFE will be enabled and the Rotary Encoder is also illuminated. You may now change the Ratio by turning the knob. <Hotkey 8> toggles between Program 1 (5.1) and Program 2 (1x2).

setup GUI – ROUTING

This is the core of the T*AP because it defines the audio signal flow inside the machine :

T*AP

Each functional block of the device has an input- and an output-label. The output-labels are pre-defined, while the label of an input must be selected by the administrator in order to route the signals. Additional blue labels give an indication of the type of signal that is expected by the respective function block input (e.g. 1L/1R for the DSP). The labels depend on the Program Configuration.

The above screen shot shows an example configuration :

DSP the de-embedder outputs [SDI 1/2 to 7/8] are connected to the

DSP 1/2 [1L/1R], 3/4 [1C/1LFE], 5/6 [1Ls/1Rs], 7/8 [2L/2R] inputs. After processing by the DSP, these signals will leave it at the outputs DSP 1/2 to 7/8.

Dolby Digital Encoder an optional Dolby Digital encoder receives DSP 1/2 to 5/6 as an input,

while the 2nd encoder has DSP 7/8 assigned. After encoding the signals appear at ENC 1 and ENC 2 outputs.

AES the first three outputs AES 1/2 to AES 3/4 are connected with

DSP 1/2 to 5/6 (e.g. for monitoring purposes), while AES 7/8 is connected to the delay output DELAY 1/2.

Delay a signal pair from the AES 1/2 input will be delayed

by 85ms.

Dolby Decoder an external signal from the 2nd AES input AES 3/4 will be decoded.

When the signal is present, the decoder reads the program configurations and sets the labels [1L/R, 1C/LFE, 1Ls/Rs] accordingly at the decoder outputs DEC 1/2, 3/4, 5/6.

Interface 1 DSP 1/2 … DSP 5/6 are connected with the embedder input

setup GUI – DOLBY PROCESSING

The Dolby® metadata system is too complex to describe it in a product manual like this. We recommend to those who are not familiar with it, to study the many publications from Dolby® Inc. which you will probably find here (we can't guarantee that the link is active forever) :

http://www.dolby.com/gb/en/professional/technology/landing.html

But so much for the beginning: The system is designed to squeeze multiple audio signals into standard 2 channel transmission / recording lines. The codecs used for this purpose are intellectual property of Dolby® Labs. Inc. Additional metadata has been implemented to control the customer experience at home when listening through TV set top boxes, DVD players, gaming machines, mobile devices. Dolby distinguishes between consumer and professional metadata. While consumer meta data will travel to the consumer equipment, the professional metadata is used for the setup of encoders.

The appearance of the following pages depends on the number and type of Dolby decoders / encoders installed. These modules are an option which may be ordered with the T*AP or later on for field installation.

setup GUI – DOLBY PROCESSING – Metadata – Routing

The center of the T*AP Dolby processing is the built in Metadata processor. It can be the point of origin of metadata but it may also modify existing metadata from an available source :

The metadata system of the T*AP has three paths. An independent monitor will allow for the evaluation of an independent metadata set, selected by its Source drop down box.

The Metadata Processor in the middle may take it from an available Source, may manipulate it in the Follow Input section and present it to the router for further distribution at the Output.

The Metadata Source Status The soft LED turns red If no metadata is present or the metadata is corrupted.

It turns green and the word OK will be displayed if a RDD 6 compliant metadata stream is detected.

It turns yellow and the word CONSUMER will be displayed to indicate that only a metadata subset is provided if an AC3 or similar (D-D+) signal is decoded.

At the bottom right hand side you see the metadata output router. Here you may decide about the Source that feeds the respective Output.

Important note! The metadata processor generates a full set of SMPTE RDD 6 compliant metadata. Since the T*AP is designed to handle two (5.1+2) or 4 (4x2) programs all related parameters will be generated by the processor.

The encoder installed in the T*AP may either be a Dolby E encoder or a multifunctional encoder, that allows for several consumer format encoding : Dolby Digital plus [D-D+] Dolby Digital [D-D] Dolby Pulse [HE-AAC v1 and v2 and AAC]

The multi format encoder has 8 physical PCM audio inputs and may be configured for

3 different operating modes :

A) Two independent encoders stream 1 – 3/2L or 2/0 (D-D+, D-D, AAC, HE-AAC)

(independent audio inputs stream 2 – 2/0 (D-D+, D-D, AAC, HE-AAC)

Into one output from two encoded signals. May be used

for ATSC / DVB single PID transport multiplexes (e.g. for Visually Impaired Audio Description – applications).

Since it is possible to run encoders in different modes (D-D, D-D+, AAC …) the latency of the encoding

process will be different due to the algorithms used. If it is necessary to align the latency of the encoded

outputs, you may turn on "Latency Compensation". In this case a latency of 305ms will be found for

each encoder. This process is performed between encoders, i.e. you must cross check if the check

boxes are enabled for both encoders!

B) Two encoders mixed for Dolby Digital plus encoding and for AD (audio description) application : Encoder 1 Encoder 2

The different channel modes 3/2L [5.1 (surround)] and 2/0 [2 (stereo)], the enabled Mixing Mode (see expert parameters) and the different stream IDs for both encoders will implicitly set up such stream that can be used for single PID multiplexing in a DVB or ATSC DTV system.

setup GUI – AUDIO PROCESSOR – Upmix & 2ch Fail Over (5.1+2 program configuration)

With firmware version 3.5 Jünger Audio introduced a new 5.1 upmix algorithm for upmixing stereo or even mono sources to multichannel surround sound while remaining acoustically downmix compatible. This is a real-time process which does a frequency analysis of the input signal. As known from the mathematical theory, the longer the time for such an analysis the better the result. But this will introduce more delay for the audio path, compared to the video. This delay, if acceptable in general, may be compensated by the video delay of the SDI embedder.

Please note that presets created with earlier firmware version are not compatible with the new upmix algorithm!

You may take the upmix source signal from either the surround Left/Right input (in case it provides stereo PCM instead of surround L/R) or from pre-selectable inputs (2L/2R or AUX).

The Surround Detect circuit monitors the input channels to decide if the surround signal has disappeared in order to do an automatic upmix if desired. But the upmix may also be forced by an event of the system that loads a preset configuration.

setup GUI – EVENTS

As mentioned in the initial paragraphs, you have a sophisticated event management system on hand, that allows you to initiate events manually (via the X*AP Remote Panel Hotkeys), semi-automatically (by external commands or GPIs) and automatically (by changes to the internal status or parameters).

The T*AP knows three different event types, which will recall pre-defined presets :

Preset Events System / Interfaces / Routing / Dolby Processing / Audio Processing Action Events GPOs / Loudness Measurement Bypass Events bypass of respective function blocks

A Trigger is the logical combination of up to two trigger sources. The Trigger will launch one or more events. An event runs like a flip-book inside the T*AP. This powerful technology spans from simply recalling a certain parameter to the complete reconfiguration of the T*AP from 4x2 to 5.1 +2 program configuration, including all signal routing, Dolby metadata handling, processing parameters and so forth. But it also enables several fail over scenarios where the T*AP will automatically react to the system and/or parameter status.

The way to set up the EVENT system is as follows :

1. Define trigger sources

2. Configure a trigger by logical combination of up to two trigger sources

3. Assign trigger to event(s)

4. Decide what shall happen (select presets for the events)

setup GUI – EVENTS – Trigger - Trigger Configuration

This is an excerpt from the Trigger Configuration pane :

Trigger # here you define a name for the trigger (Preset Load). Source 1 the first source of a logical combination of two trigger sources.

invert if the type of trigger allows an inverted operation it can be defined here.

type the device knows different types of triggers [GPI, Hot Key, Network,

Event active, Trigger active, Bypass, Sync Lock].

source if the selected trigger type has multiple possible sources you must

define it here [e.g. 1 … 8 for GPIs]. It acts like an index for the trigger

logic kind of logical operation [and, or, xor].

source type.

Source 2 second source of a logical combination of two trigger sources. If only

one source exists, you may leave it unassigned [-].

Important Note! By accident you are able to set up a recursive behavior (same trigger is used for trigger setup or in an event that may activate this trigger). The plausibility is not checked so you may experience strange things if you are not careful.

T*AP

At the bottom of the Trigger table we have two icons :

When you click on one of these icons you may add or delete a line of the above table.

When adding a trigger you may give it a name : When removing a trigger you may select it

by its name and press <OK>

setup GUI – EVENTS – Trigger – Remote Hotkey Sources

Hotkeys are the 8 buttons of an X*AP Remote Panel. You may give them names and enable them to show up as active on the X*AP Remote Panel :

# the number of the Hotkey on the

X*AP Remote Panel, counting

that appears in the display of the X*AP Remote Panel above that button.

if you turn it off the respective Hotkey on the X*AP Remote Panel becomes inactive - no label is displayed and the button background light turns off.

Network trigger are based on the EmBER+ protocol from Co. l-s-b http://www.l-s-b.de/uk The T*AP receives such trigger over the TCP/IP network. The trigger are issued by a device that has implemented the EmBER+ protocol (e.g. VSM server). You may assign these triggers to virtual as well as physical (e.g. LBP) buttons of a VSM installation. But also a broadcast automation system may have an EmBER+ client running that may trigger an event in the T*AP.

# number of the network trigger

Label label of that network trigger. It appears on the

Trigger Configuration pane as well as in the EmBER+ tree of the

VSM Studio gadget connector.

Below is a screen shot of the VSM gadget connector :

T*AP

For the Ember tree you must select : "Device" > controller_dsp > network_trigger > parameters > #. As a value you will receive the trigger name from the T*AP.

In this example it is the default network trigger name.

setup GUI – EVENTS – Trigger – Parameter Sources

Below is an example of a few parameter trigger sources :

Label input field for a label of a parameter trigger source Category [INTERFACES / DOLBY PROCESSING / AUDIO PROCESSING] Subcategory e.g. If Category = DOLBY PROCESSING, possible Subcategories

are : [Metadata Routing / Metadata Program / Decoder / Encoder] check all possible combinations with your T*AP

Parameter e.g. if Subcategory = Metadata Routing, possible parameters are:

[D SUB Metadata Input Status / Decoder Metadata Status / SDI1 – VANC Metadata Input Status SDI2 – VANC Metadata Input Status]

Expression 1 e.g. if Parameter = Status, possible expressions are:

[NA / FAIL / CORRUPT / PCM / CONSUMER / OK].

The Expression allows multiple values. I.e. you may select PCM &

CONSUMER. Since the drop down box is too small, both status expressions are marked green and the word

<multiple values> will be used.

Expression 2 will be implemented soon

T*AP

setup GUI – EVENTS – Preset Events

The change of configurations and / or parameters of the T*AP is based on presets in general. Each setup pane offers a set of 20 presets for the respective function block. See on page 21 : "setup GUI – SYSTEM - the preset concept in detail".

Important Note! The Preset Events tab controls multiple preset categories which are represented by the page embedded tabs. You must be aware that one trigger is valid for an entire line from System over Routing to Audio Processor. If you change the Trigger on one of the embedded pages it will be valid for all other pages.

setup GUI – EVENTS – Preset Events – System

On the SYSTEM > Setup pane you may change the program configurations manually or you may setup a respective presets (surround). The Preset Event > System will later on load this one.

After selecting that preset the event manager reads the program configuration from this preset and prints it right beside the selection box. The event manager now uses this program configuration for all other Preset Events sharing the same event name.

Trigger when you click into the pull down box, you can select from one of the

previously defined triggers (e.g. Program Config).

Event name It is advisable to give this "System Preset Event" a name

(e.g. Change Prog Config).

Setup select one of the 20 presets from the SYSTEM > Setup menu

(e.g. "surround").

Program Configuration gives you an indication which mode the T*AP will be in when you load

that preset.

setup GUI – EVENTS – Preset Events – Interfaces

The T*AP Base Unit has four AES I/Os and for example an optional SDI I/O interface is installed. Therefore this pane offers two pull down boxes to select one of those preset for the respective interface per event.

The "Change Prog Conf" as well as the "Dolby Fail" events do not change things for an interface. I.e. the selection is empty "-".

T*AP

setup GUI – EVENTS – Preset Events – Routing

The ROUTING system has no sub panes and therefore only one set of 20 presets. They may be allocated to preset events. For this example it is Preset2:

The "Change Prog Conf" Event is not used to change routing.

setup GUI – EVENTS – Preset Events – Dolby Processing

The Dolby processing system has several setup sections for the hardware parts (decoder, encoders) as well as for the metadata routing and the program specific sets of metadata. That is why the Preset Events > Dolby Processing pane has nine columns:

The "Dolby Fail" event will load several presets (see above)

setup GUI – EVENTS – Preset Events – Audio Processing

The most comprehensive set of presets is offered for the Audio Processer, which has eight different processing sections, a setup page, input / output and monitor pages, which you may (or may not) alter by triggering the event named "+3dB" via the "LM Gain" trigger :

For the other two events "Change Prog Conf" and "Dolby Fail" there is no need to change anything in the Audio Processor for this example so we do not select presets there

T*AP

setup GUI – EVENTS – Action Events – GPO

Action Events are independent from Preset Events. That is why you must define a new event name

(e.g. SDI alarm). This event should also be triggered by the "SDI lost" trigger. The T*AP has 8 physical GPO's (relay change over contacts) which may be incorporated into an action event. The example below will only activate GPO 1 if the "SDI alarm" event is triggered by the "SDI lost" trigger.

The options to switch the respective GPO are:

clear will deactivate the previously activated GPO

set will activate the GPO

follow the GPO state will follow the trigger :

toggle turns on, on the rising edge of the trigger, turns off on the next rising

setup GUI – EVENTS – Action Events – Loudness Measurement

The EBU R128 implements the possibility to start, pause, continue, reset a loudness measurement.

turns on, if the trigger is activated, turns off, if the trigger is deactivated

edge. Toggle functions are always tricky because you must guarantee a known starting condition.

The example above defines one Action Event > Loudness Measurement where "pause / continue"

will be activated by "Trigger 7" that starts the Action Event named "start measurement".

The above pane must be set up for both the 4 x 2 and 5.1 + 2 program configuration. The event

manager will take the respective actions depending on the actual program configuration.

T*AP

setup GUI – EVENTS – Bypass Events

The T*AP has a dedicated <BYPASS> button on the X*AP Remote Panel. The function of this button may be configured in the upper section of the Bypass Events pane. You may lock the button and ou may also control it with the Processing Bypass check box :

The top two rows of check boxes represent the bypass switches of the individual function blocks of the DSP. They may be used to force the bypass function of individual blocks manually. The number of lines (4 [4x2] or 2 [5.1+2] in this example) depends on the program configuration.

If you turn the <BYPASS> button of the X*AP Remote Panel ON the Processing Bypass check box will show it. But you may also use the check box to turn the button ON / OFF.

In the lower rows you may configure the bypass function of the individual function blocks to be controlled by an Bypass Events trigger :

The Event named "Bypass Event1" may be triggered by "Trigger 5". It will turn the bypass ON for the function blocks: Expander, Compressor, and OFF for the Equalizer section.

T*AP

Example EVENTS configuration

Finally an example for a field application. This shall demonstrate the steps which are needed to setup the EVENTS system.

In Japan it is common practice to change the configuration of processing devices depending on additional meta information. This meta information is standardized by the ARIB standard. We will now demonstrate how to change the program configuration of the T*AP, controlled by such a meta information received via SDI embedded ancillary data packets.

On the EVENTS > Trigger > Parameter Sources pane we define a parameter source :

To do so we have to look in the Category Interfaces for the Subcategory SDI I/O Interface1 and there for the parameter ARIB B39 Audio Mode. The parameter expression "3/2+LFE (5.1)" will be the trigger source. We give it the label : "ARIB audio status".

The next step is to configure the trigger :

We call the Trigger : "Program Config.". it is of the type Parameter and the source label (defined in step one) is "ARIB audio status".

Now we must assign trigger to events. The trigger "Program Config." will launch the Preset Event "Change Prog Conf" :

Finally we decide what shall happen if the example event "Change Prog Conf" becomes active. For our example it will load the preset called "surround". When you have a look at the SYSTEM > Setup pane you will see that the preset "surround" will reconfigured the T*AP to 5.1 + 2 program configuration :

In order not to get too complicated we will stop here. But you must keep in mind that the trigger "Program Config" may also be used to change ROUTING paths and AUDIO PROCESSOR settings as well as other things if it is appropriate.
