Device Profile Files
For each device and device manager (except AirPlay devices), there must be a
separate profile. A profile is a text file with the extension .dmp, which is opened
and parsed at start-up. In addition to user-configurable formation, this file must
contain the operational name of the device manager and the network name of the
BCS computer. The profile can have any name, but it is recommended that you
use the name of the device manager.
Multiple instances of any device and its device manager can be run on BCS by
launching each with its own .dmp file. Whenever you add a device or change its
speed or location, you’ll need to create or modify the appropriate device profile.
Text is case-insensitive. Device profiles are located in the BCS install directory:
program files/avstar systems/broadcast control system
Format of the profile file is the same as any Windows .ini file, with the syntax
<key> = <value>, and sections for Configuration, Communications,
Channels, Dictionary, and CG Character Mapping.

computer as the BCServer. Therefore, hardware requirements are identical to
those used for the BCServer.
