Crestron Maxx Control

Getting started with Crestron Maxx Control Plug-In

Introduction:

The Module Provides Control of a single channel on the Innosonix MA32/D2 range of audio mixer via Ethernet. The driver relies on the REST-API via Port 80 (HTTP) to the Innosonix MA32/D2 Unit.

The Module has been designed to run on Crestron 3 & 4 series processors.

Known Limitations – Sometimes, the unit doesn’t respond or responds slowly to the first command post boot. So on boot sequence we recommend Polling a single channel and then call the INIT function to poll all the required data correctly.


Inputs:

Name Type Description
Init D Starts the module and polls initial settings. Pulse or Latch at the start of the program. Is designed to allow access to poll all channels so is delayed by channel ID to allow a smooth start up
Poll D Re-polls the channel for its current statis
Channel Amp On D Turns on the Power to the Channel Speaker Output
Channel Amp Off D Turns off the Power to the Channel Speaker Output
Channel Amp Off and Vol Reset D Turns off the Power to the Channel Speaker Output and reset the Volume to the default set in the paramters
On/Off/Toggle D Sets the mute status
Channel Volume IN# A Analog to set the output volume between 0-100% (For a slider)
Channel Volume Up/Down D Turns up or down the output volume
