11.5 Example: Using System Design to Add a DVD to the

Theater Room

The following sample project steps you through the creation of a Control4® project using the

Composer Pro System Design view. This example assumes that you've already started creating a

project that includes a Theater room.

11.5.1 Procedure

To use the Composer System Design view:

1. Start Composer and connect to a Director.

2. Click System Design.

To add the devices:

3. If you haven't already done so, add the Controller to the Theater room in the project tree. If you

already have added a Controller to the Theater, continue to Step 4.

a. When setting up a system, first add the Controller to the list. You must attach a Controller to

every television you want added to the Control4 system.

b. In the project tree, choose the room (Theater) where you want the devices with the

Controller to reside. In the Items pane > My Drivers tab, double-click a Controller to move it

to the room where it resides (for example, HC300).

Note: If you installed this version of Composer on a computer with an older version of Composer,

right-click in the My Driver tab, and choose Restore Default List. This will update the My Driver list.

Example: Add a Home Controller to the Theater Room:

From the project tree, select Theater. In the Items pane > My Drivers tab under Controllers, double-

click the Controller or drag it to the room where it resides—in this case, the Theater.
