GROUPING MONITORS
A group of monitors is just a list of monitors associated with a name and stored into the broadcaster Flash
memory. Groups of monitors can overlap and there is no restriction about their content.
The purpose of groups is to send commands to several monitors in a single operation. For example, disable
the audio or the video of a group located in some area section. If there are several tens of monitors in this
area, it is not convenient to send the same command to each of them one by one. This is why DSNet
Manager allows creating groups of monitors.
When you invoke a group, all monitors in the group (and only them) are checked in the network diagram.
You can then send commands to the checked monitors.
To create a group, first check the monitors that will be members of the group. For example in the example
provided on Figure 13, right click the receiver
Left Wing Room
to select all monitors of the branch. Then in
the main menu select
Groups/New Group
. Fill in the name of the group and click OK.

Note:
Invoking a group does not prevent you to modify the check boxes before sending a command to
checked monitors.
