Documentation

Source

The Source model controls and maintains state for logical components with audio/video outputs.

Summary

Source models maintain power and feedback state and provide both common source controls and full generic controls. Complete documentation on how source and generic commands relate to interface joins can be found in the Join Standard.

Specific source models such as DirecTV and Apple TV are present in the demo program to show specific extensions like presets.

Tutorial

Configure the Name and ID parameters. The switcher name can be anything. The switcher ID should use a two-digit, zero-padded number between 1 and 99 (01 or 99).

Configure the Output parameter as Audio, Video, or Audio/Video.

For example, a television with input HDMI 1 connected to a Crestron DM-MD8x8 matrix video switcher would have every source configured on the matrix switcher assigned to HDMI 1 on the television.

Configure the Volume Control parameter as either None, Absolute, or Relative similar to Switcher configuration. It is very rare for source volume control to be desirable instead of switcher volume control. Only advanced programmers should use a value other than None.

Configure the Page parameter as a number between 1 and 99, which corresponds to digital joins 901 to 999 to be driven on Touchscreen.

Configure the Auto Power parameter as No or Yes. Selecting Yes will cause the source to power on when in use and power off when no rooms are using it anymore.
