GLOSSARY OF TERMS
A
Argument - Most often an optional fields that proceed keywords. When used, there are one or
more spaces between the keyword and the first argument and a comma is used to separate each
successive argument. Arguments can be in the format of Meaningful Strings, Character Literals,
Numeric Scalars or XML or other Special Formats.
ASCII Protocol - The basic control and status reporting mechanism of the services in StreamNet.
It consists of various audio and video messages and the respective parameters represented in
strings of ASCII characters. These messages also contain the associated routing and administrative
information used to inform recipients of the destination and origin of the messages or provides
various supplemental information.
Audio/Video Renderer Service - One of several Services associated with devices in the StreamNet
system. The Audio/Video Renderer service
Audio/Video Source Service - One of several Services associated with devices in the StreamNet
system. The Audio/Video Source service is responsible for taking an analog or digital audio and/
or the corresponding video signal from a legacy device (CD or DVD Changer), encoding them into
IP-based data packets and transmitting them over the network.

C
Case Sensitivity - Case Sensitivity is a term used to describe the actions of a parsing scheme that
is sensitive to the use of uppercase and lowercase characters and interprets a string of characters
differently based on the case of the characters in the string.
Case Sensitivity comes into play in a StreamNet system when, for instance, the Source or
Renderer service name is used as an argument in a command line: Service name: Room 2
Player
Correct Command Line - the Service name is used as an argument and is correctly
entered:
#@Room 2:~UDP10.15.0.11_5000#query service {{Room 2 Player}}
Incorrect Command Line - the Service name is used as an argument but is incorrectly
entered:
#@Room 2:~UDP10.15.0.11_5000#query service {{room 2 player}}
When the source or renderer service name is not used as the toAddress, it is not case
sensitive:
#@room 2 player:~UDP10.15.0.11_5000#query renderer
Character Literals - Argument labels that are comprised of character strings which do not need
any special delimiters and contain no blanks, spaces, commas or other special, non-alphanumeric
characters. Arguments that do contain special characters must be enclosed within double brackets
“{{...}}”.
Command - A string of ASCII characters that form a valid StreamNet statement which is sent to a
device or service to perform a requested action or generate an appropriate response.
