All Fohhn systems with integrated Fohhn DSP offer interfaces for integration into media control systems. Below you will find an overview of the different ways of integration. A tabular overview of the specific options for the respective Fohhn products can be found here.
Using the Fohhn Net protocol, any media control system can communicate with any Fohhn device. Fohhn Net commands are freely accessible and can be implemented in the respective software. Fohhn Net commands can be transmitted IP-based via UDP, via RS-485 or via USB (virtual COM port). The detailed description of the protocol and the possible commands can be found in our manual:

Selected Fohhn products and certain Fohhn converters support a simplified protocol for control via IP-based networks. The so-called TCP text protocol is written in plain text and sent to the corresponding IP node (i.e. end device or Fohhn Net converter). The detailed description of the protocol and the possible commands can be found in our manual:

With the plugin, you can easily integrate Fohhn devices into a Q-Sys media control system and have bidirectional access to the device's functions. The prerequisite is the remote-capable IP network interface on the Fohhn device or a corresponding Fohhn converter (e.g. ABX-6). The plugin is available for download on the respective product and here:

The FR-21 converter provides an RS-232 interface for all classic Fohhn components. The advantage lies in the clear separation between an extensive Fohhn system and the media control. Elaborate macros can be programmed in Fohhn Audio Soft and executed via a simple RS-232 command.
