Miranda iControl XML Gateway
The Miranda iControl XML Gateway retrieves all supported devices (nodes) from the XML Gateway. A limited list of device parameters is retrieved and displayed in a DVE (Dynamic Virtual Element) for that device.

SERIAL CONNECTION:
Interface connection:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the XML Gateway
- IP port: The port used by the XML Gateway.
How to use
Via the Miranda iControl XML Gateway, a list of devices (nodes) is retrieved. Only supported devices are retrieved.
The connector currently only supports the device Miranda XVP-3901.
The communication to the XML Gateway is done via serial commands, so the parameters are retrieved one by one. Based on the number of devices, an update of a parameter could take some time.
In order to get the updates as fast as possible, the parameters are divided into Timing Groups, representing the priority of the parameter. The lower the group, the more frequently the parameter will be retrieved. When a Timing Group is retrieved, it will also include any parameters in a lower group. For example, when Timing Group 2 is polled, all parameters in Timing Group 1 are also retrieved.
Device Parameters
This page provides a summary of all the supported devices. It includes their connection details, as well as status parameters like Frame, Slot, Address, Global Status, etc. There are also parameters indicating the Reading Time and indicating if the device is Present or Removed.
From this page, you can delete removed devices (DVEs) from the system.
Finally, the Reading Info page button displays the supported parameters and their Timing Group.
Input / Output
This page provides an overview of the Input and Output configuration and the selected modes. You can among others find the Input, BNC Output, Fiber Output, and KeyFill Output displayed here.
Video Processing
On this page, the Processing Mode is indicated, and based on this, the Gains of a specific mode are disabled ("N/A") or retrieved.
The Advanced page button displays additional Gain info for the YCbCr Mode, as well as additional Offset data.
Audio Processing
This page displays a list of Detected Groups and Signal Presence.
For the DVE, there are two additional page buttons with the Fixed Delays of each channel.
Audio Processing CHx-y
These pages display information on the Audio Processing for HD of each channel where x-y could for example be 1 and 2. It lists up until channel 16.
The pages contain the Operation Mode, Mute, ABUS selection, Channel selection, Level, and the possibility to swap the two channels.
Dolby Metadata Paths
On this page, you can configure the flow of the Dolby Metadata through the device, both for Path 1 and Path 2
