About Device Groups
You are able to group different types of devices (cameras, microphones, speakers, inputs, outputs) on your RC-E
system by using device groups. The use of device groups has several benefits:
Device groups help you maintain an intuitive overview of devices on your system
You are able to specify common properties for all devices within a device group in one step
When dealing with roles (see "About Roles" on page 145), you are able to specify common security settings for
all devices within a device group in one step
