The Audio Program feature is used to distribute background music from external radios, MP3 players, etc. to loudspeaker zone(s).
The background music can be turned on or off from an Access Panel (DAK key) or from a Control Input.
Contents
Connection of Audio Program Source
An analog audio source can be connected to Line-In of the following devices:
- ESC System Controller
- ENA Amplifier
- TFIE Kit
Assigning an Audio Program Source to a Line Input
An Audio Line Input can be used for several purposes, and Audio Program is one of them. From the EMT tool, you must dedicate a Line Input for Audio Program distribution:
- In Components view, open External Connections
- In System, identify the Controller, the Amplifier or the TKIE kit to be used as Audio Program source, and expand to Audio Lines > Line Input
- Drag Audio Program Source to the Line Input
- A dialog box appears - select the Audio Program channel number. If there are several audio program sources, you would normally start with program 1 and so on.
Configuration
Controlling Background Music from an Access Panel
- Drag Audio Program Control to press_action on the desired key of the Access Panel
- Select the Source program and the Destination zones
- Choose Activation by Toggle or Start/Stop
Note: If Destination is left blank, one can use Zone Selection buttons to dynamically choose where to distribute the background music.
Controlling Background Music from a Control Input
Background music can be sent to predefined zones when a control input is activated. When deactivated, the music can be turned off.
To set Background music to ON:
- Drag Audio Program Control to the on_action on the desired Control Inputs > CL_x
- Select the Source program and the Destination zones
- Choose Activation by Start
To set Background music to OFF:
- Drag Audio Program Control to the off_action on the desired Control Inputs > CL_x
- Select the Source program and the Destination zones
