• Digitally—Set up a multi-room audio system utilizing the network as an audio distribution
system with digital-end points.
• Audio Switch —Install and set up a multi-room audio system, utilizing a traditional analog
audio switch and amplifiers.
• Receivers—Install and set up a multi-room audio system, utilizing a receiver in each room to
distribute audio.
Example: Audio is streamed (through Ethernet) to the Touch Screen to the Bedroom, so you
would choose Digitally.

In this view, you create the foundation of the Control4 system by building the project tree.
To design the Smith Home project:
1. Start Composer and connect to a Director on a Local Network.
2. Enter the Project Properties for the Smith Home.
• Name: Franklin Smith Home.
• Zip Code: 84003 or enter a Latitude and Longitude manually.
• Date & Time: Use the drop-down menu to change these as desired.
• Time Zone: Use the drop-down menu to select the appropriate zone.
3. Add rooms to the project tree.
a. In the Locations tab, double-click on a room to add it to the project tree.
b. Continue to add rooms until you have included all rooms you want in the house (rooms that
will have automated devices). You can also drag these items to an object in the project tree.
Example: Add three (3) rooms.
• Theater
• Bedroom
• Front
Tips: To build the system design, define the project configuration in the project tree. You do not
have to add all the items in the project tree manually, such as Site > Building > Floor > Room
because Composer Pro automatically adds the required infrastructure.
Also, you can rename the objects as desired; for example, Franklin Smith Home > Home >
House > Main >Theater. For more information, see Composer Pro Getting Started.
