  • CUE to wall lights does not seem to work on a Jnior 410 on a GDC SR-1000 server.

    In the attached photo, is this the correct way to do the CUE to connect the wall lights? Can you tell me the correct way to do it?
    .
    Important notes, using Jnior 410 (OS Version v1.0.6)
    I find it strange that on the device page, the Jnior 410 model does not appear, only the a310 and 412 (second image). Or does this have nothing to do with it?

    I'm not familiar with SR1000 cues, so can't help with that. I've never seen that screen. Usually there's a choice for each relay to switch on, switch off, or pulse on with other servers.
    The model number doesn't really matter. Commands are the same regardless. The number is related to the number of output relays and inputs - 310 and 410 have 8 of each, 312 and 412 have 12 outputs and four inputs. Telling a 410 to close relays the nonexistent 9-12 won't do anything.
    If a cue is correct, the LED beside the desired output relay will flash (for pulse on) or just go on or off (for switch on/off). Switch on/off are never, in my experience, used with a dimmer as they use a pulse command. I've only used on/off for magnetic door holders to have the doors held open on changes but close themselves during a show.

      This one uses pulses. I couldn't find in either the Jnior manual or the GDC manual how to make the CUE structure, I only have this picture of the CUE to turn on the light but I don't know if it's correct.

        In the SR1000 user manual it says how to add a Jnior IO device. I don't see anything about a 310, 312, 410 0r 412. But it's an older manual (2019) I have and this may have changed. Doremi/Dolby and Barco servers have device managers that work about the same, you select a device and fill in some details (port # and login) then in add cue the functions are easily available. Probably the SR1000 is the same but GDC does things a bit differently (all brands do).
        If you really want to send raw commands, the Jnior Support Tool has a hex command builder (tools/advanced) but that should not be needed.
        These Jnior IO devices are used A LOT in cinemas so GDC should have a simple way to send a cue to one. Maybe a GDC familiar tech here can help you out?

          I have the 2022 manual, It explains how to add a device, this now I believe is added correctly.
          But now I need to know what is the CUE structure that I need to create to send the pulses correctly. The manual does not show this.

            GDC does not require any automation device. All GDC servers come with an inbuilt relay and support GPIO > Coil functionality.​

              I'm reasonably certain that GDC servers do not have actual dry-contact relays (do you hear a click/clack when they fire?). They are bound to be an open-collector type output transistor...likely part of an opto-isolator to protect the server electronics.

              As to the JNIOR...I have none in my service as we went with Eprad's eCNA line long ago (no regrets there either...the most reliable automation on the market). It is entirely possible that you have a configuration issue. I don't know what the options are. Perhaps "Level" is not the right one. JNIORs often have a user/pw that need to be configured.

              Bruce Cloutier​ often cruises these forums and provides outstanding support for the JNIOR line. He, likely, can advise you on the SR1000/JNIOR integration and what must be done for things to work. If you haven't done so already, it might be worth searching to see if this sort of question has come up in the past. Bruce has started a couple threads on the JNIOR.

                This Junior already worked here with GDC, but it stopped working some time ago. In some attempts to make it work again I ended up deleting the CUE structure and I don't remember what it was like anymore. I only have that photo from the first post.

                  Contact INTEG about the JNIOR directly, their support is excellent!
