Audio Control M6400 / M4800 / D4600

Crestron Driver User Guide

Introduction

This driver has been designed to provide two-way control of AudioControl M4800, M6400

and D4600 network amplifiers, via TCP/IP.

The package includes a demonstration file in smw format to aid with integration into a

Crestron project. Additionally, touch panel designs have been created, these can be used

for demonstration purposes and for compatibility testing.

This Crestron module will work on both Series 2 and 3 processors and has been tested with

firmware version 0.1.16_NCB RA.

There are four modules included in the package:

Comms

This module has three purposes:

•Sending and receiving commands to/from the amplifier

•Routing feedback to the other modules

•Assigning zones to groups

Zone Analogue

This driver handles source selection, volume, power, EQ and feedback for a specified

analogue zone. There will be one instance of this driver per analogue zone.

Zone Digital

This driver handles the source selection and power control for a specified digital zone. There

will be one instance of this driver per digital zone.

Group

This driver handles source selection, volume, power, EQ and feedback for a specified group

of zones. There will be one instance of this driver per group.

Module Definitions

AudioControl_{Model} _Comms_VX_XX.umc

The central module handling all communications between Crestron and the amplifier. This

module will require a "TCP/IP Client" device to be configured in the SIMPL Windows

program, with the IP address of the amplifier defined, and the port defined as “23”.

Signal Name

Type

Description

CommsConnected

Input

Signal FROM TCP/IP Client 'Connect-F'.

CommsRx

Signal FROM TCP/IP Client 'RX$'.

ZoneCommsTx

Signal FROM Zone modules

GroupCommsTx

Signal FROM Group modules

SetZone[x]_ToGroup1

Adding and removing a zone to a group*

SetZone[x]_ToGroup2

SetZone[x]_ToGroup3

SetZone[x]_ToGroup4

Poll Interval

PARAMETER

Time interval between polling attempts. Polling

will keep the module feedback in sync with the

amplifier when changes are made to the device

locally. (The default is 30 seconds. If 0 seconds is

set, polling is disabled).

CommsConnected

OUTPUT

Signal TO TCP/IP Client 'Connect'.

CommsTx

OUTPUT

Signal TO TCP/IP Client 'TX$'.

Zone1CommsTx –

Zone10CommsTx

OUTPUT

Signal TO one or more

AudioControl_ZoneAnalogue.umc modules.

1 to 8

Signal TO one or more

AudioControl_ZoneDigital.umc modules.

9 and 10

Group1CommsTx –

Group 10CommsTx

OUTPUT

Signal TO one or more AudioControl_Group.umc

modules.

Zone[x]_ToGroup1

OUTPUT

Feedback indicating which zones are in Gwhich

groups.

Zone[x]_ToGroup2

Zone[x]_ToGroup3

Zone[x]_ToGroup4

*AudioControl supports 4 groups; these groups can contain any number of zones. A zone

can only be associated to one group at any one time. If you set the zone to a group when

the zone is already associated to another group, then the zone will be removed from its

current group and added to the new group.

SetZone[x]_ToGroup[x] works like a toggle button –pulse it to add the zone to the group.

Crestron Driver User Guide

Grouping

When setting up groups, there is an option to lock the groups on the zone configuration

page:

It is recommended that you do not use this feature. If a group is locked and the group

volume +/- buttons are pressed, the device will only change the volume for the first zone in

the group. If a group is locked and the zone volume +/- buttons are pressed, the device will

change the volume for all grouped zones but will only feed back that the zone pressed has

changed.

Consequently, best practice for using this driver’s grouping feature are as follows:

If zones are grouped:

Only expose the group commands to the user (volume, bass, treble, switch, etc.) and do not

lock the groups.

If zones are not grouped:

Only expose the zone commands to the user for those specific zones.
