IR commands. For more complex lighting systems, tie these signals to the logic or
module being used to control the lights.
Secondary SATP control
In the sample installation, the owner decides to add a second SATP touch panel in
the Bedroom, for example, a TPMC-8X. The SATP template for the TPMC-8X uses
16 lines of text for display, instead of the 6 lines on the TPS-4L. The best approach
in this situation is to include an SATP module per touch panel size controlling each
stream, each with a separate TCP/IP client.
To support our two-panel sample scenario, add another TCP/IP client pointing to
the IP address of the Music Player and duplicate the entire control chain for the
Bedroom. Copy the SATP module for the Bedroom and change all the signals to a
unique name, for example, KMusicZ3.1_. Change the [List Window Length]
parameter on the new module to 16. Now the touch panels can browse
independently of each other. One touch panel can be looking through the Now
Playing information while the other is adding new content to play from the genre
list.
This method of control does not work properly with command routing because the
modules are not able to isolate individual feedback. A dedicated direct TCP/IP
connection must be used for each SATP module.
In larger, more complex installations, this method becomes problematic. If there
are a large number of touch panels that need to control a large number of zones,
creating a module for each zone-to-touch-panel combination is unworkable. To
support more complex scenarios, the SATP module has an analog input for [List
Window Length] in the List_Control roll-up as shown in the following figure.

This input allows changing the list length at run time as needed. When the length
changes the module refreshes the list with the new length.
For installations like this, remember to add a Make String Permanent symbol to keep
the nonrouted serial strings in memory.
Volume control
Use the following steps to enable volume control and feedback when using the
Kaleidescape App for iPad configured without a controller zone name.
1. Select the appropriate combination of control and feedback from the drop
down menu.
