1. Introduction 1. Introduction Thank you for downloading Yamaha ProVisionaire Control PLUS. ProVisionaire Control PLUS is a Windows application software program that allows you to intuitively create original, custom control panels. You can design a custom controller by placing widgets such as sliders, buttons, and photos on a page (screen) and assigning the parameters of the device you want to control.
1. Introduction 1.2. What you can do using ProVisionaire Control PLUS • You can intuitively place widgets such as sliders, buttons, and photos on the page (screen) to create an original control panel that suits the contents of your facility and how it will be used. • The control panel consists of multiple pages, and up to 50 pages can be added. You can create control panels for each area and user and create design pages that suit the situations in which the spaces will be used.
1. Introduction 1.3. Terms and concepts to understand Software • ProVisionaire Control PLUS Software for designing ProVisionaire Kiosk. This is used by administrators. In this document, this is subsequently abbreviated as ProVisionaire Control. • ProVisionaire Kiosk Software optimized for remote control operating on Windows/iPad/iPhone. This is used by power users or staff. In this document, this is subsequently abbreviated as Kiosk.
1. Introduction Units In ProVisionaire Control, the following units are used when discussing the structure of a system. • Project The system being proposed. This unit is used to encompass an entire building or entire facility. This corresponds to an entire building or hall. • Controller The unit handled by Kiosk. You can create them for different locations, such as the wings of a stage, conference room, and auditorium, or for different users. You can create up to 20 controllers in one project.
1. Introduction Modes ProVisionaire Control have the following modes. • Initial Mode This is the mode in which no file has been loaded. From this mode, loading a settings file takes ProVisionaire Control to Design Mode. • Design Mode In this mode you can use ProVisionaire Control to create or edit controllers and pages. • Control Mode This mode is for checking the operation of the controller you created. It allows you to simulate starting up the controller on Kiosk.
2. Installation procedure 2. Installation procedure Download the installers for ProVisionaire Control, Kiosk or the ProVisionaire Edge from the Yamaha Pro Audio website. https://www.yamaha.com/2/provisionaire/ Decompress the compressed file that you downloaded, double-click “Install_PVControlPlus.exe,” or “Install_PVKiosk.exe” and follow the installer’s directions. NOTE To check the operation information of devices in the system from Kiosk, you must install ProVisionaire Edge separately.
3. Screen structure 3. Screen structure Initial mode When you start ProVisionaire Control, the initial mode screen will be displayed. When you start the software for the first time, the template files are displayed. Use this to help you create a controller. For details on the initial mode screen, refer to "Functions specific to initial mode." Select New Project from the "File" menu or toolbar, or double-click a file to enter design mode.
3. Screen structure ①Title bar This shows the project file name. This also contains a [Setup] button, etc (page 37). ②Menu bar This contains commands that can be executed by ProVisionaire Control, organized by category (page 38). ③Tool bar Frequently-used commands are placed here as buttons (page 42). ④“Controllers” area This lists the project’s controllers and pages. You can also use this area to add controllers and pages (page 43).
4. Basic process 4. Basic process Using the creation of a simple page as an example, this section explains the process from startup to controlling a device. In this example, we control the level and on/off for input channel 1 of a DM7 (console ID=1). In the case of an MRX7-D/DME7, this procedure cannot be used to place a widget; refer to"Adding parameters and meters from apps other than ProVisionaire Control." 4.1.
4. Basic process In this example, we keep the default settings. All settings can be changed later in Properties under Controller. Tips If you don’t know the aspect ratio of the screen, select [3:2] and place the widgets accordingly. Once the aspect ratio has been finalized, reconfigure the screen size in Properties under Controller. 5. Select the Style file to be used when creating the controller and click the [Next] button. 6.
