How to: Sony Edge Analytics

Overview

With the current version of Kramer Control (v2.9.0 or previous) we do not officially support the authentication requirement to implement control over the Sony Edge Analytics device. However, we can control the unit using a combination of our URL widget and Overlays. Follow the steps below to add Sony Edge control to your program.

Knowledge Requirements

• URL Widget
• Frames & Overlays
• Update Properties

!In order for this setup to work, you will need a frame on the page that you are interacting with the Sony Edge. We will use update properties to send different commands while this page is in view. The content of the URL widget will be blank, so you do not need to worry about this interfering with the overall look and feel of your GUI.

You will also need to know the username and password of the Sony Edge device. Inside the Sony Edge, we also have to disable the following security settings:

1. Disable the referer
2. Disable SSL
3. Disable Access

Available URL’s

*Using the available URL’s below you will want to create a new Overlay per URL widget. We will use update properties to change the loaded overlay on the screen which will execute the change on the device

Example URL Widget Overlay

Below is an example URL widget that is created inside an Overlay. Things you will notice is the refresh rate is set to 20000 seconds so the refresh of the Overlay will not happen during normal usage.

Example Macro to change Sony Edge source

Below is an example of the macro setup inside a button to change Overlays using Update Properties. Once all Overlays are created, you can use the Update Properties to change the overlay that sends the necessary commands.
