External Controllers
The WheatNet-IP audio networking system has been designed to work with a
growing family of external hardware and software controllers. These controllers allow
for a wide range of control functions, from making a single crosspoint to complex
condition control scripts. There are hardware based controllers such as the Wheatstone
HBX8 hot-button controller, the Wheatstone XYC xy controller, and the GP-8P and
GP-16P programmable controllers. There are software controllers such as PC-XY and
the Event Scheduler, and control applications by various Automation System providers
ranging for Enco and OMT to Crestron and AMX.
All of these controllers integrate with WheatNet-IP by means of an Ethernet
connection to the system; no physical GPI/GPO or serial cable wiring is required.
Wheatstone provides a separate software utility called the WheatNet-IP XYC
control GUI for setting up and configuring the hardware controllers provided by
Wheatstone. This password protected application allows you to set up the controller,
map it to the desired control destination(s), set up its operating modes, and organize the
signal visibility for the controller.
This image shows a typical set up screen from the control GUI.
The WheatNet-IP XYC control GUI is provided with the purchase of any of the
Wheatstone hardware controllers. Consult the manual included with the application for
specific information about your controllers.
For software based controllers please refer to the documentation provided with the
software package, or contact [email protected] for more information.
