D3SSI Driver

The D3SSI Driver receives encoder position data over the D3 Synchronised System Interface (D3SSI) protocol. The protocol carries a MessageFromEncoder packet — Designer consumes the angle field (mod 1800°) as a single position axis.

In most setups, the default driver settings are sufficient. Only adjust these values if your system or network has been configured differently.

Uses

Section titled “Uses”

Use this driver when:

  • Integrating a D3SSI-compatible rotary encoder into a Disguise workflow.
  • Driving content alignment, screen positioning, or stage automation from a single rotary axis.
  • Working within installations or productions that standardise on the D3SSI protocol.
  • Testing or validating D3SSI-based data streams within a controlled environment.

Driver Properties

Section titled “Driver Properties”

D3SSI Driver

This driver listens on UDP port 8989 by default.

Port

The UDP port on which the driver receives data. Set this to match the port configured on the sending device or controller.

IP filter (optional)

Restricts incoming data to a specific source IP address. Useful when several sources are present on the network, or to isolate a single sender. Leave blank to accept data from any IP.

Multicast address (optional)

The multicast group address used by your system. Only required when the sender is configured for multicast — enter the exact multicast address used by the emitter. Leave empty for unicast or broadcast configurations.
