Verify default room connections

To verify default room connections including prioritized AV audio end point providers:

  1. Add devices to the project using Composer Pro System Design view. See Composer Pro Getting Started for details.

    2. While you set up the project, room connections are set for you according to the default settings. The defaults are set by rules in the system, and they might not match your physical environment. Manually ensure that the settings match your desired outcome.

  1. Verify that the initial room connections are set up correctly for each room.
  1. From Connections, click the Control/AV tab (default).
  1. Click the room in the project tree.
  1. Verify each connection by ensuring that it mirrors your exact hardware setup.
  1. To change a connection, select a device in the project tree, and then select the device to change in the Control & Audio Video Connections pane.
  1. In the Room Control list, select an item in the upper list, and then drag it to an item in the lower list to connect the two items. When successful, both lists update to reflect the connection.

    2. Example: To show how to change a connection from the top center pane, click Video Audio End Point (RoomControl-AUDIO_SELECTION), and drag it to the bottom pane to connect it to Television (Room Selection - Output-Theater).

    There are no video or audio End Points or any devices that can manage volume in the Front room, so you don’t need to identify the video or audio source or volume control device in that room, or modify the room for room connections.
  1. Create a connection to define the other devices in the room where you want volume.
  1. Select a room in the project tree.
  1. In the Room Control list, select an item in the Control & Audio Video Connections, and then drag it to an item in the lower list to connect the two items. When successful, both lists are updated to reflect the connection.

    2. Example: From the top center pane, click Video Volume 2 (RoomControl-AUDIO_VOLUME), and drag to the bottom center pane to connect it to Television (Room Selection - Output-Theater).
