Programming Manager
Programming Manager is the view where programmers “program” a Crestron control
system by assigning signals to symbols. The symbol can be viewed by double
clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail View. A description for each signal in
the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1).
Programming with Digital Media Tools
A full Graphic/Parametric Equalizer is built into the MP2 & MP2E control systems.
The equalizer module provides both graphic and parametric equalization,
programmable using Crestron's Digital Media Tools software or SIMPL Windows.
The Digital Media Tools (DMT) software is free and available from the download
section of the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com).
Almost all users will use the Digital Media Tools and not the SIMPL Windows
symbol to adjust equalization. From the point of view of the symbol everything is a
parametric equalizer; graphic equalizers are just parametric equalizers with specific
default frequencies, Q (bandwidth) and type. If you want to use a graphic equalizer
you must use Digital Media Tools because this is the only place where the default
graphic equalizer frequencies are set up. The only possible exception is that
programmers might want to set up sliders from the TrimBand gains to let the user
modify slightly what the programmer has stored.
The MP2 & MP2E adjustments in Digital Media Tools contain five tabs:
• Master Volume tab – for adjusting the overall volume (+5 to -40 dB).
• Input Settings tab – for naming sources, setting up decoding, and adjusting
input gain.
• Graphic EQ tab – for choosing the number of graphic equalizers, and
provides access to the graphic equalizer sliders
• Parametric EQ tab – for making parametric equalization adjustments
• Communications tab – for setting up communications and adjusting the
equalizer in real-time.
For additional details, refer to the Digital Media Tools help file.
NOTE: Minimum operating firmware version 3.26 is required to operate the
parametric equalizer feature.
