Experimental:ST2110 Device CHOP

Summary

NOTE

License: Only available in TouchDesigner Pro.

This node is used to configure the IP settings of a ST2110 Device such as the DHCP settings, IP configuration and PTP settings. Currently this node does not have any channels it outputs, but it does have some Info CHOP channels that give diagnostic information.

Parameters - ST2110 Device Page

Active active - Controls if this node is actively configuring this device's settings.

Driver driver - ⊞ - Select which device driver to use to search and communicate with devices.

• Blackmagic blackmagic - Use the Blackmagic driver.

• Deltacast deltacast - Use the Deltacast driver.

Device device - Select the device to configure.

Use DHCP usedhcp - Chooses if the IP address of the primary port on the device should be configured using DHCP.

Scope scope - To determine which channels get affected, some CHOPs use a Scope string on the Common page.

Sample Rate Match srselect - ⊞ - Handle cases where multiple input CHOPs' sample rates are different. When Resampling occurs, the curves are interpolated according to the Interpolation Method Option, or "Linear" if the Interpolate Options are not available.

• Resample At First Input's Rate first - Use rate of first input to resample others.

• Resample At Maximum Rate max - Resample to the highest sample rate.

• Resample At Minimum Rate min - Resample to the lowest sample rate.

• Error If Rates Differ err - Doesn't accept conflicting sample rates.

Export Method exportmethod - ⊞ - This will determine how to connect the CHOP channel to the parameter. Refer to the Export article for more information.

• DAT Table by Index datindex - Uses the docked DAT table and references the channel via the index of the channel in the CHOP.

• DAT Table by Name datname - Uses the docked DAT table and references the channel via the name of the channel in the CHOP.

• Channel Name is Path:Parameter autoname - The channel is the full destination of where to export to, such has geo1/transform1:tx.

Export Root autoexportroot - This path points to the root node where all of the paths that exporting by Channel Name is Path:Parameter are relative to.

Export Table exporttable - The DAT used to hold the export information when using the DAT Table Export Methods (See above).

Info CHOP Channels

Extra Information for the ST2110 Device CHOP can be accessed via an Info CHOP.

Specific ST2110 Device CHOP Info Channels

• packets_received - The number of packets received on the primary port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• packet_errors - The number of packets errors that occured on primary port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• multicast_groups_joined - The number of times a multicast group has been joined by primary port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• multicast_sources_added - The number of times a multicast source has been added by primary port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• multicast_changes - The number of multicast change operations that have occurred on the primary port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• ptp_locked - 1 if the PTP on the primary port is locked to a PTP grandmaster, 0 if PTP is not locked, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• sps_packets_received - The number of packets received on the SPS port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• sps_packet_errors - The number of packets errors that occured on SPS port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• sps_multicast_groups_joined - The number of times a multicast group has been joined by SPS port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• sps_multicast_sources_added - The number of times a multicast source has been added by SPS port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• sps_multicast_changes - The number of multicast change operations that have occurred on the SPS port, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

• sps_ptp_locked - 1 if the PTP on the SPS port is locked to a PTP grandmaster, 0 if PTP is not locked, or -1 if this query isn't supported by the device.

Common CHOP Info Channels

• start - Start of the CHOP interval in samples.

• length - Number of samples in the CHOP.

• sample_rate - The samplerate of the channels in frames per second.

• num_channels - Number of channels in the CHOP.

• time_slice - 1 if CHOP is Time Slice enabled, 0 otherwise.

• export_sernum - A count of how often the export connections have been updated.

Common Operator Info Channels

• total_cooks - Number of times the operator has cooked since the process started.

• cook_time - Duration of the last cook in milliseconds.

• cook_frame - Frame number when this operator was last cooked relative to the component timeline.

• cook_abs_frame - Frame number when this operator was last cooked relative to the absolute time.

• cook_start_time - Time in milliseconds at which the operator started cooking in the frame it was cooked.

A Time Slice is the time from the last cook frame to the current cook frame. In CHOPs it is the set of short channels that contain the CHOP channels' samples between the last and the current cook frame.

A parameter in most CHOPs that restricts which channels of that CHOP will be affected. Normally all channels of a CHOP are affected by the operator. TOPs have Channel Mask, a similar feature.

samples-per-second of a CHOP. Each CHOP in your network has a sample rate. In contrast, the overall timeline has a Frame Rate, which is the number of frames to cook and display per second, generally your monitor display frequency, default 60.

Exporting is the connection of CHOP channels to parameters of operators. The output of each exporting CHOP is one or more channels, active only while the CHOP Viewer is on. The current value of a channel can be exported to a parameter of any operator, overriding that parameter's value. See Parameter.

An Operator Family which operate on Channels (a sequence of numbers (Samples)) which are used for animation, audio, mathematics, simulation, logic, UI construction, and data streamed from/to devices and protocols.

An Operator Family that manipulates text strings: multi-line text or tables. Multi-line text is often a python Script or GLSL Shader, but can be any multi-line text. Tables are rows and columns of cells, each containing a text string.

The location of an operator within the TouchDesigner environment, for example, /geo1/circle1, a node called circle1 in a component called geo1. The path / is called Root. This path is displayed at the top of every Pane, showing which Component's network you are currently in. To refer instead to a filesystem folder, directory, disk file or http: address, see Folder.

Every operator in TouchDesigner has a set of control Parameters that can be integer or floating point numbers, menus, binary toggles, text strings or operator paths, which determine the output of the operator.

TouchDesigner is a hierarchy of components. "root" is the top-most network in the hierarchy. The Network Path or Path for root is simply /. A typical path is /project1/moviein1.
