X*AP RM
Introduction
At the heart of the X*AP RM1 works a high power 32bit embedded micro controller.
It runs a web server for browser based settings and firmware updates.
The communication protocol is EmBER+. So any device that speaks this protocol may easily be controlled by
the X*AP RM1.
In the devices 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.
These presets may either be recalled on demand by the operator via the GUI, the X*AP RM1 remote panel
Hot Keys or play-out automation systems.
The X*AP RM1 remote panel functions are for now limited to operating needs rather than setting up a device.
Beside the pre-configured key functions like loudness measurement or speaker control, the 8 Hot-Keys may
be programmed by the administrator.
Hardware concept
The X*AP RM1 remote panel may be used stand alone or may be attached to a 1RU device that has a front
panel RJ45 socket. E.g. older versions of the D*AP8 base unit have such a socket. If it is attached to a
dedicated device by brackets it is 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.
The X*AP RM1 remote panel is powered by POE (Power Over Ethernet). If it must be connected via a router
of the network, this router must have a free POE (Power Over Ethernet) port. If this is not the case, you must
use the wall plug POE power supply that comes with the X*AP RM1.

X*AP RM
Control concept
The communication between the X*AP RM1 remote panel, devices, setup and operating tools, is based on
TCP/IP over Ethernet.
The setup GUI utilizes web technology. The functionality of the web GUI is developed
for Mozilla Firefox > 10 and Google Chrome > 15.
An SNMP agent is also available on the device and may be explored by a monitoring system.
Getting started – IP setup in general
The X*AP RM1 remote panel as well as the remote unit (e.g. D*AP8, V*AP, M*AP) must have unique IP
addresses and the same network mask in order to "talk" to each other as well as to other devices / PCs
within a Local Area Network segment. If the X*AP RM1 sits in an other network segment a suitable gateway
address is mandatory. The X*AP RM1 remote panel may (for now) control up to 4 units, one at a time.
The process of installing a X*AP RM1 into an IP network is as follows :
1. Ask the system service people for a unique IP addresses of the network,
the netmask and the gateway address.
2. Assign the X*AP RM1 remote panel an IP address the netmask and if necessary a
gateway address.
4. Attach a device to the X*AP RM1 remote panel.
! Important Note: If you are not familiar with setting up devices for IP communication, we highly recommend
to consult your system service or IT department to assist you.
Getting started – IP setup of the X*AP RM1 remote panel
By pressing the red <ESC> button from the main display, you will enter the X*AP RM
"Remote Panel Menu" page 1/3 to set up the IP configuration of the X*AP RM1 Remote panel and to attach
up to 4 devices to this remote panel :

Here you must press one of the respective <F-Keys> and that field will be highlighted as well as the Rotary
Encoder. Now you can change the value by turning the knob. When the setting of all fields is finished, you
must press <SAVE>. The display will return to the initial "Remote panel Menu" page 1/3.

Getting started – basic X*AP RM1 remote panel operation
After power up and booting is finished, the X*AP RM1 remote panel shows the remote units which are
"attached" to it. The display shows the respective device "Name", its 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.
Remote Panel select device to control
„Name“

„Status“
If you press the <F-Key> the X*AP RM1 remote panel will connect with that unit.
(The above example has just one unit attached for remote control ). Now the X*AP RM1 remote panel will
gather all necessary information from that unit (it may take a few seconds) and open up the main display :

Operating – menu structure of the X*AP RM1 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 (F-Key #5) 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 :
ESC

<F-Key 1> toggles between the two parameter sets ALL / LFE. The parameter set under control is
highlighted. If for example you now press <F-Key 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.
<F-Key 8> toggles between Program 1 (5.1) and Program 2 (1x2).

In this case the <F-Keys> will control the program based loudness measurement process defined by
EBUR128. The display represents the measurements of Integrated- / Short Term- and MomentaryLoudness as well as the LRA (Loudness Range) [LU] and Max TPL [dBTP],
the Maximum True Peak level.
The measure for the EBU Meter display is [LUFS] (Loudness Units Full Scale) as long as not defined
differently.
