INSTALLATION
Connecting your PYKO-in device
It is recommended to establish all connections before powering the device up.

Power supply
Before plugging the power cord, make sure it is not damaged:
Just like for any other audio system, power the individual devices up following the audio path and power
down in the opposite direction.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the power cable away from where people could trip
over it.

Set-up
• Use an Ethernet cable to connect your PYKO-in to the network through its RJ45 port (labeled ‘ETH.’
on the back panel). To connect your PYKO-in directly to your computer, use a crossover cable.
• Plug your headphones (front panel)
• Prepare pen and paper in order to write the IP address down, which will be announced over the headphones
output.
• Connect the electric cable to the plug labeled ‘PWR’ on the back panel and to the power outlet

Audio
The pinout used on the XLRs is standard: pin 1 carries the signal ground, pin 2 carries the positive signal
(“hot”, +) and pin 3 carries the negative signal (“cold”, -).

Configuration
You can use PYKO-in along with Audio Manager, in stand-alone or in EtherSound mode.

Firmware update
Digigram provides a firmware (compound.bin) compatible PYKO-in that is installed by default (factory
configuration).
Digigram may decide to publish updates of the embedded firmware. It may then become necessary to upgrade
your devices. In this case, please connect to the corresponding page on www.digigram.com/drivers/index.php
and download the most recent version. Then, go to the <Tools>, <Update> section of the PYKO-in html
page, click ‘Browse’ to indicate the location of the downloaded file, then the ‘Upload’ button. When the
message ‘compound.bin successfully loaded’ is displayed, click onto the link ‘Click on update before
updating the next component or unplug the power supply to reboot the device’ in the message, then
onto the ‘Reboot’ button to finish the update, or, alternatively, disconnect then re-plug the power cord.

7
MODES OF OPERATION
PYKO-in can embed any of the three firmware applications:
• “Stream server”:
• With the ‘Stream Server’ application enabled, PYKO-in reproduces the signal it receives on its
analogical input as one or several IP streams (mono or stereo).<0}
• “Full-duplex”: The ‘Full-duplex’ firmware application (selectable on the html pages) allows managing
the emission of a mono IP stream and the reception of a mono IP stream, thus making it possible to
use an analog mono input and an analog mono output simultaneously, for example for intercom
applications.
• “Play-out”: The Play-out firmware application lets your PYKO-in decode a mono stream. This mode is
rather an ‘emergency’ mode in case you don’t have a PYKO-out at hand. For more detail on this mode,
see the PYKO-out manual.

Particular mode:
• EtherSound: In EtherSound mode, the control of PYKO-in is done through EScontrol. Access to the
web pages is no longer possible.
Note: To return to another mode of operation, please press the ‘Reset’ button > 5 sec in order to re-start
PYKO-in factory configuration. Now you have again access to the embedded html pages were you can
select the required firmware application and configure your PYKO-in.

In factory configuration, PYKO-in is shipped with the ‘Stream Server’ firmware enabled.

8
 PYKO-in
Professional IP Ù Audio Endpoint
MANAGING PYKO-IN
Depending on your needs, there are several ways of configuring and controlling PYKO-in.

Configuration
PYKO-in embeds a web server that enables you to control the PYKO through your favorite Internet browser
and to select the firmware application that best meets your needs.
• Put your headphones on. At start-up, PYKO will announce its IP address over the headphones output
– write this address down!
Note: PYKO-in factory setting is IP address configured at 192.168.0.100.
• Open your web browser.
• Type the PYKO-in IP address into the address bar and hit the ‘Enter’ key.

9
Using PYKO-in with Audio Manager
If you use your PYKOs with Audio Manager, you will first have to either assign an IP address through the web
pages or turn the DHCP on (Audio Manager will then automatically assign an IP address). Audio Manager
Server will detect this address and allow the Audio Manager Client to configure it.
To be detected by Audio Manager, the TCP control port has to be set to “40002”, the UDP listening port to
“40004”. These are also the values defined in the factory configuration.
Nonetheless, you may decide that Audio Manager is to control PYKO-in only in part. In this case, use the
PYKO-in html pages to configure the device accordingly (cf. on-line help of the pages).
For more details on managing PYKO through Audio Manager, please refer to its on line help.

PYKO-in in ‘stand-alone’ mode

• Select the application firmware that best meets your requirements (see above).

• You can now visualize the Web pages that enable you to parameterize the device.

10
 PYKO-in
Professional IP Ù Audio Endpoint
Audio configuration
With the ‘Stream Server’ firmware
It is possible to transport an IP stream from a PYKO-in towards different destinations:
• 6 in MP3 format
• 4 in PCM format
Just configure a destination IP address and a corresponding port for each destination.

11
With the Full-duplex firmware
In full-duplex mode, you will have to configure a mono input and a mono output.
To do so, go to the audio page ‘Audio: Stream priority 2’:

Configure the IP stream to be received (Listening stream) and the IP stream to be sent (Server stream).
PYKO-in is now configured for a full-duplex communication.
In Audio Manager mode, the Audio Manager stream will automatically be set to level 2.

It is also possible to define a priority stream via the page ‘Audio: Stream priority 1’.
A full-duplex communication can then be interrupted by this priority stream for, e.g., an alarm message.

12
 PYKO-in
Professional IP Ù Audio Endpoint

For more details on parameterizing your PYKO-in in ‘stand-alone’ mode, please refer to on-line help of the
html configuration pages.

With the ‘Play-out' firmware

For the use of PYKO-in ‘Play-out’ mode, please refer to the PYKO-out manual and to the on-line help of the
application firmware. Note, however, that with this firmware, the outputs of a PYKO-in are managed in mono
mode.

Using PYKO-in with EtherSound

PYKO-in is also capable of decoding EtherSound 100/spkr (www.ethersound.com). This is an exclusive mode
of PYKO-in. In this mode, PYKO-in can decode ONE EtherSound mono stream.
As default setting ex factory, the equipment works in IP mode. Switching from IP mode to EtherSound is done
through the Web pages by selecting the EtherSound mode.
In EtherSound mode, the control of PYKO-in is done through EScontrol. Access to the web pages is no longer
possible.
To switch back to IP mode, PYKO-in needs to be reset (press the ‘Reset’ button for at least five seconds).
PYKO-in will re-boot with the default factory settings.
Note: each time PYKO-in is switched from one mode to another, the previous settings are lost, the device reboots in
factory configuration.

13
GPIO
PYKO-in is delivered with four GPIs and four GPOs on terminal block connectors; the counterparts are
provided. For details see Appendix D.
GPI
The PYKO-in GPIs are compatible TTL 5 V.
A GPI must maintain its state for at least 20 ms.
The GPIs can have either local action or a distant action by TCP tunneling.
For the local actions, you can choose:
• Whether it will take place on rising or falling edge
• To start a stream
• To stop a stream

For the TCP tunneling:

• The changes of a GPI state are transmitted through TCP if an application is connected. This
information is received either by Audio Manager or by another application, but it cannot be received
directly by another PYKO-in.
• TCP connection is required by Audio Manager (PYKO-in is used as server). To establish the
connection, the listening port has to be configured by html page.
• The overall latency of the GPI signal transfer via Audio Manager to the destination GPO is inferior to
100 ms.
GPO
The PYKO-in GPOs are relay outputs.
It is possible to configure through the web page whether the value at start-up of each GPO is set to’0’ or to ‘1’.
The GPO can be configured by TCP protocol or from an application.

SERIAL PORT (RS232 ON DB9)

PYKO-in provides an RS232 serial port on a male DB-9 connector on its back panel.
The RS232 can be used to control the PYKO through, e. g. Vity, AMX or Crestron.
It is possible to use the RS232 in gateway mode, in multicast, and in multi-destination (up to 4 destinations)
Parameter setting of the tunneling is done from the PYKO-in html pages.
For the pinout, please refer to the appendix F.

Audio format
PYKO-in can encode and decode various audio formats, depending on the embedded firmware (see
appendix A).

Bring the device and everything that contacts it to ground potential by providing a conductive surface and
discharge paths. As a minimum, observe these precautions:
• Disconnect all power and signal sources.
• Place the device on a grounded conductive work surface.
• Ground yourself via a grounding wrist strap or by holding a grounded object.
• Ground any tools that will contact the device.
• Unscrew the two Pozidriv screws counterclockwise
and open the cabinet.

APPENDIX C: RTP FORMAT
An audio stream encoder must respect the size and the payload type described underneath.

RTP frame size

The maximum payload size in bytes for the encoder can be calculated from the formula:
Min(1300, 20.chans.Bps.samplerate/1000)
where chans is the number of channels, bps is the number of bytes per sample and samplerate is the sampling
rate in Hertz.
The maximum payload size for MP3 is 1400 bytes.

RTP payload types

The following table shows the defined RTP payload types that the encoder must respect.

RTP

0 μ-Law, 8bit, mono, 8kHz
8 A-Law, 8bit, mono, 8kHz
10 PCM, 16bit, MSB first, signed, 44.1 kHz stereo, left channel first
11 PCM, 16bit, MSB first, signed, 44.1 kHz mono

General Purpose Inputs (GPIs)

The state of a GPI can be either “1” or “0”. It is read at “0” as soon as it is connected to the ground (GND).
Otherwise it is read at “1”.
Note: Each GPI can receive an external command contact.

General Purpose Outputs (GPOs)

The PYKO-in GPOs are relay outputs. They feature two pins each and are all configured the same way. Pins 9
& 10 belong to GPO # 1, 11 & 12 to GPO # 2, 13 & 14 to GPO # 3, and 15 & 16 to GPO #°4.
If written at “1”, the GPO closes the linked open collector. If written at “0”, the GPO opens the linked open
collector.
GPIOs can be used for tunneling from one PYKO towards another (GPIn-> GPOn).
