Zone Source and Volume

Purpose

The Zone Source and Volume (PASHA) device allows a physical xControl LCD device to directly control devices in your project, and for your NWare project to control the xControl device itself.

The device block has source input wiring nodes – for connecting to audio sources, such as NioNode flyoffs, for example – and zone output wiring nodes – for connecting to devices that channel audio to particular zones in an installation.

When the user of the xControl changes the level for a particular zone, for example, the control surface of the Zone Source and Volume (PASHA) device updates to show the new level, and the level value is passed to the device wired to the output wiring node.

Notes:

• Before an xControl LCD can interact with an NWare project, you must set the Serial Control Protocol on the NioNode device properties to PASHA/XControl, and change the Rear Mode setting on the Serial PASHAX tab to RS-485 on the control surface.
• In order to control a physical xControl LCD device form an NWare xControl LCD device, you must set the EIA-485 termination switch to In at the rear of the unit. For more information, see Installation steps in the xControl LCD Hardware Manual.
• The Zone, Source and Volume device uses audio wiring nodes, while the Generic Controls (PASHA) device uses control wiring nodes.
