3.1 Select or Edit Source (Fig. 18)

Double-clicking on a blank source will open the “Select Source” window. This window assigns the appropriate source number input. The “Display Name” is the text that will be read on the Control Pad when that source is selected in any zone. The display name can contain only capital letters, numbers, and some punctuation. If an invalid key is typed, it will be ignored.

The “Make” field defines the manufacturer of the equipment. A drop-down menu allows you to choose a source from the IR Library. The “Model” field provides a drop-down menu that allows you to choose the specific piece of source equipment from the selected manufacturer.

An important feature of the “Select Source” window is the “Gain” level control. Different pieces of source equipment tend to have different levels of audio output signal. This slider control allows you to compensate for equipment that has an inherently lower volume level. By using this adjustment, when switching between sources, relative volume levels remain constant.

When the appropriate information is complete, click “OK.” This will add the updated source information to the “Source” window. When all the desired sources have been defined, go to “Next” and proceed to the “Macros” setup.

Adding a NuVoNet Source (Fig. 19)

NuVoNet sources can be placed in the Configuration with the same procedure as third party IR controllable equipment. The Configurator program contains IR libraries for each of the NuVoNet components which have the appropriate button functions pre-assigned. Even though the components are assigned, you must still set the NuVoNet source inputs on each of the components, see Setting NuVo Sources for use

with NuvoNet, pg. 9 & 10.

4. Macros (Fig. 20)

An important feature of the Configurator program is the ability to define source specific macro definitions for third party IR control. The Essentia has a unique ability to store specific IR commands as preset names. The best example is cable or satellite. Using the Macro tab, you can establish a preset name and set the appropriate IR commands to select a specific station (this will be covered in the 4.1 Edit Macro Definition section). Macro definition only applies to third party non-NuVoNet sources.
