Why you need connections

The software connections represent either connections between the controller and its attached devices or connections among AV devices.

When you match the connections together in Composer Pro, the software connections mirror the hardware connections in the system where appropriate. The system can then control the connected devices and identifies where to route the media where it’s available. 

These types of connections are used in the Control4 system:

• Network Connections—Defines the devices that use a network address. Network connections include IP and Zigbee or Zigbee Pro devices.
• Control Connections—Defines the control connection between a device and the controller. Control connections include contacts, relays, serial, and IR -controlled devices.
• Audio and Video Connections—Defines the devices that have audio and/or video signals.
• Room Connections—Defines the video, audio, or video/audio end points and the video/audio or audio volume for the selected room.
