You can create a program that allows you to include the C2N-VEQ4 in a Crestron

control system using the Crestron programming tools Crestron SystemBuilder™ and

SIMPL Windows. These tools are intended for users with different levels of

programming knowledge. The flexibility of each tool is proportional to the degree of

programming expertise (i.e., the more flexible, the more a programmer needs to know

and account for). Of course, one can initiate programming using the easiest method

(SystemBuilder) and use advanced techniques that are available from SIMPL

Windows to customize the job.

NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of

the most recently released features. The latest software is available from the Crestron

website.

The Digital Media Tools software is the preferred method to adjust equalization. In

fact, if you want to use a graphic equalizer, you MUST use Digital Media Tools,

because this is where the default graphic equalizer characteristics are set up. Refer to

page 16 for more details on using Digital Media Tools.

The easiest method of

rogramming, but does not

offer as much flexibility as

SIMPL Windows.

The Crestron SystemBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and

commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing,

and lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for

designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and

functionality. The Crestron SystemBuilder then programs the system, including all

touchpanel projects and control system logic.

Crestron SystemBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software

development tools, including SIMPL Windows, Crestron VisionTools® Pro-e

(VT Pro-e), Crestron Engraver, Crestron Database, User IR Database, and User
