Please keep in mind: - VENICE can not change the operating mode (Rec / Playout) within VDCP slave mode. So a channel is either REC OR PLAYOUT - The VDCP protocol does not support a setup of the channel (file format...) - The VDCP protocol does not support multiple destinations or source folders (only the VDCP rootfolder, defined in the settings 4.2.13) - The automation has to control each channel via its own physical interface. (Each VENICE channel has its own RS422 port)
