Do you have a software API available for communicating between my existing system and an iDR?
A. If you’re looking to control the iDR from an existing PC network then the PL-Client software may be of interest. This is a virtual-wallplate GUI controlling levels, mutes and patches etc. which can be run on a user’s machine, for local controls, or as much potency as is programmed for an individual position.

Tel-Net gives control over input, output and crosspoint matrix levels, group levels, patch recalls and mutes and mutes, and unlike MIDI or our iDR
