1.2.2. Connecting between the PC and the EV-700

Connect the EV-700's Network connection terminal to the PC via a switching hub. Use the straight-through cable for connection.

If the EV-700 has been connected to the network, connect the PC to the switching hub on the same local area network. For details, consult your network administrator of the facilities where the EV-700 is installed.

Notes

- Use the EV-700 Setting software having the same version number as the unit's firmware. You cannot establish a connection between a PC and the EV-700 when their versions are different.

To confirm the EV-700's firmware version, see the instruction manual supplied with the EV-700.

To confirm the EV-700 Setting software version, select "Help → Version information" from the menu. (See p. 21 or p. 65.)

If both versions are different, update the firmware using the EV-700 Setting Software. The EV-700's firmware version becomes equal to that of the EV-700 Setting Software, enabling communications between them. (See p. 73, "Updating the EV-700's firmware.")

Download the latest version of EV-700 Setting Software from the TOA Products Data download site http://www.toa.products.com/international/.

- Two or more PCs with the EV-700 Setting software installed cannot simultaneously establish connection to a single EV-700.

Also, only a single EV-700 can be connected from a PC with the EV-700 Setting software installed.

    C --> E["Straight through cable*"]

Tip

You can also connect the EV-700 directly to a PC. Either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable can be used for connection.

But direct connection between the EV-700 and a PC may not be possible depending on your PC settings. In such cases, connect them via a switching hub as shown above.

1.2.3. Network

- Perform the network setting for the PC in advance following the instructions of the network administrator of the facilities where the EV-700 is installed.

If incorrect setting has been performed, this may adversely affect other devices connected to the same network.

- The EV-700 that communicates with this software can be detected using the Device detection function. The Device detection function detects the EV-700 connected on the local area network.

A "Broadcast" communication method is used for detection.

Therefore, this detection function is available only within the effective range of broadcast. Broadcast will not reach beyond the router even within the local area network.

SIMPLE MODE

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Simple mode allows non-expert users to operate the EV-700 easily. Since the usable functions are limited to broadcasts from the EV-700, EV-700's current operation status confirmation, and edit of broadcast contents, even users not familiar with the EV-700 can easily perform operations.

In this Simple mode, you can perform operations from Editing the broadcast contents using a PC," "Transferring to the EV-700" to "Playing according to the edited contents."

[Functions enabled with the Simple mode]

- Connected Device Detection Function (See p. 23.)

Automatically detects the EV-700 to be connected by the EV-700 Setting software.

• Editing the Broadcast Contents (See p. 25.)

A function that allows you to read out the information about the registered broadcast contents from the EV-700 via a network or using the memory card, and to edit these contents.

You cannot create a new broadcast content.

The edited contents can be transferred to the EV-700 via a network, or read into the EV-700 after being saved to the memory card.

- Broadcasting from the EV-700 (See p. 55.)

You can play the registered broadcast by designating it to the EV-700.

- Confirming the Current Operation Status of the EV-700 (See p. 56.)

[Uploading Difference data to the EV-700]

Notes

- Use this difference data upload function when you have edited the data identical to that used for the EV-700. Uploading the difference data to the EV-700 using the data different from that used for the EV-700 causes EV-700's data error, resulting in equipment malfunction.

- All operations including emergency broadcast activation cannot be performed during upload. If upload made during broadcast, broadcast (except emergency broadcast) is stopped.

Step 1. Select "File → Difference data upload to device" from the menu or click the "Difference data upload to device" tool button icon.

A dialog below appears.

The dialog displays the storage location of transfer source file and the target file list to be updated or deleted at the EV-700.

Note

Uploading the edited contents to the EV-700 causes the Audio file saved in the EV-700 to be overwritten.

Make a backup copy of the file saved in the EV-700 before uploading if necessary.

Step 2. Click the Start button.

The project file is uploaded to the EV-700.

Tip

When difference data upload failed, its transfer result can be checked in a list.

For details, see "When upload failed" on p. 52.

But, when the device setting file is opened, make connections using the network setting values.

6. PHRASE AND PROGRAM

The terms "Phrase" and "Program" are used for handling audio sources with the EV-700.

6.1. What is Phrase?

Phrase refers to the audio data (WAV file) recorded on the memory card. A single phrase is created by one-time recording. Up to 32768 pieces of phrase data can be written on the memory card.

"Phrase" used for the EV-700 refers to a WAV file and differs from the Phrase in the general sense.

Despite the name "Phrase," audio data for music and sentences can be recorded as phrases.

6.2. What is Program?

Program consists of the audio data for broadcast created by combining phrases and the program control data such as program audio volume and playback system. Up to 256 programs can be registered.

* See the next page for details.

The Playback order of phrases in a program is referred to as a "Step."

A program is created by using one step or combining 2 or more steps.

One program can contain up to 128 steps of "Phrases" and "Silent phrases."

In addition, data of broadcasting method, referred to as "Program control data", can be set for individual programs.

The following types are available for Program control data.

Program control data type

Program name

Output destination (Line output 1 and Line output 2)

Playback system (Program playback, Step playback, All phrases playback, and Chime playback)

Program audio volume (0 to10)

Program playback busy output destination (1 to 8)*

AGC (ON/OFF)

Priority level (2 to 8)

Repeat count

Repeat time

Repeat interval

Busy output during repeat interval

Interval (Phrase interval)

Busy output during interval

* When setting, also check the descriptions on p. 81, "Control."

7. TYPES OF EMERGENCY BROADCASTS

There are 2 types for the Emergency broadcasts, "Emergency playback" and "R.E.M. (Recording Endless Message) playback."

• Emergency Playback (Prerecorded Playback)

Allows the audio file for emergency playback prepared in advance to be broadcast preferentially in emergency situations. Priority is given to the emergency playback broadcast even during program playback or microphone announcement.

Output destination, repeat count, and repeat time can be preset using the EV-700 Setting software.

Audio file preparation and Emergency playback/stop can be made at the EV-700 unit or using the EV-Setting software.

This manual describes the method of operations performed using the EV-700 Setting software.

For the operation method performed at the EV-700 unit, see the EV-700 instruction manual supplied with the EV-700 unit.

• R.E.M. Playback (Instant Recording Playback)

Allows you to make a recording through one-touch operation in the event of an emergency and repeatedly broadcast the recorded contents immediately after recording.

Recording starts instantly by closing the rear-mounted Emergency recording control input terminals, and the recorded contents are played repeatedly when the terminals are opened.

Priority is given to the R.E.M. playback broadcast even during program playback or microphone announcement.

Output destination, repeat count, and repeat time can be preset using the EV-700 Setting software.

R.E.M. playback can be performed at the EV-700 unit or using the EV-700 Setting software.

This manual describes the method of operations performed using the EV-700 Setting software.

For the operation method performed at the EV-700 unit, see the EV-700 instruction manual supplied with the EV-700 unit.

Note

Emergency playback cannot be made during broadcasts of R.E.M. playback. Likewise, R.E.M. playback cannot be made during Emergency playback.

Tip

You can start recording for R.E.M. playback again during R.E.M. playback broadcast.

For the priority level settings, see the EV-700 instruction manual supplied with the EV-700 unit.

8. WHAT IS A PROJECT?

8.1. Files Comprising a Project

A collection of the files necessary for the EV-700 to broadcast is referred to as Project.

The files comprising a project are as follows.

Note

Files comprising a project are saved on a memory card.

For the configuration of each file, see the next page.

8.1.1. Project information file (EV-700T)

A file that describes information about the project such as creation date, project creator, and project content.

Also, set the sampling frequency of the audio sources to be used for the project in this information.

Sampling frequency that can be used at the EV-700 is determined depending on the project information setting.

8.1.2. Table file

Defines the broadcast contents and the audio files to be used for broadcasting, and includes the following files.

• Program - Phrase table (EVPRGxxx.xml) (xxx = 000 to 255)
  A file that defines the broadcast contents consisting of the broadcast content data created in combination with the phrases, and the program control data such as program audio volume and playback system.
• Phrase - Audio file table (EVWRDxxx.xml) (xxx = 000 to 255)
  A file that links the phrase set in the "Program - Phrase table" to the Audio file.
  The audio file to be used at the time of broadcast is determined by this definition file.
• Phrase comment table (EVCMTxxx.xml) (xxx = 000 to 255)
  A file to register comments so that you can find what type of audio file is registered in each phrase.
  A file that can be used only with the EV-700 Setting software. It is not used at the EV-700.
• Program for emergency playback - Phrase table (EVPRG_EMG.xml)
  A file that defines the control data such as repeat count and program audio volume at the time of emergency playback.
• Program for R.E.M. playback - Phrase table (EVPRG_REM.xml)
  A file that defines the control data such as repeat count and program audio volume at the time of R.E.M. playback.

8.1.3. Audio files (WAV file)
