1. Introduction 1.4. An overview of ProVisionaire Design • Broadly speaking, ProVisionaire Design is divided into a "Project" sheet, "Tuning" sheet, and device sheet. The "Project" sheet registers devices and makes settings for them. The "Tuning" sheet enables you to set up a link group to control multiple amp channels collectively. A link group that you specify can be operated using the Link Group Editor. The device sheet specifies detailed settings and control of each device.
2. Screen structure 2. Screen structure ProVisionaire Design consists of a "menu bar," "tool bar," "Project sheet," "Tuning sheet," and "device sheet." The "Project sheet" is a sheet for placing devices. The devices placed here are registered in the project. The "Tuning sheet" is a sheet where you specify the EQ or levels of a device. The "Tuning" sheet is where you specify the EQ and levels for the PC series and XMV series units.

A protect function is provided for User Defined Block. By protecting it, you can prevent another person from changing the configuration or parameters, or prevent them from looking inside.
13. Audio Processors: DME7 There are three User Defined Block protection modes. • Off mode The unprotected state. • View Only mode A protected User Defined Block or a component editor inside the block can be opened, but the configuration and parameters cannot be changed. Components in the User Defined Block are not shown in the “Parameters” area.

13. Audio Processors: DME7 13.11. “Parameter Sets” area A set of parameters stored or recalled as a snapshot is called a “parameter set.” Storing a snapshot saves the current values of the parameter set members. One parameter set can store up to 100 different snapshots. A parameter can be registered in more than one parameter set. Parameters can be registered in a parameter set in the following ways.
13. Audio Processors: DME7 13.11.1. Parameter Sets • [New] button Creates a new parameter set. • [Add Device] button Registers an individual device to the parameter set. • [Delete] button Deletes the selected parameter set, DME7, component, or parameter. If you changed the members that were registered to a parameter set, you must overwrite and save the snapshots again. • [Duplicate] button Duplicates the selected parameter set.
13. Audio Processors: DME7 • Parameter set name Shows the name of the parameter set. You can double-click the parameter set name and edit it. A number displayed next to the parameter set name is the parameter set ID. You can specify this ID when you recall a snapshot via the remote protocol command. To modify the ID, right-click the parameter set name to display the context menu, and then select [Change ID].
13. Audio Processors: DME7 • Emergency Recall You can specify whether a snapshot will be recalled if the DME7 receives an EMG (Emergency) signal from an external device, or if the input voltage to the [GPI IN] connector (IN 16) (which supports +24V) falls below 2.5V.

29. YDIF 29. YDIF 29.1. YDIF YDIF is a digital audio transmission format that can send and receive up to 16 channels of audio and wordclock using an Ethernet cable. By connecting devices (MTX series/XMV/EXi8/EXo8) via Ethernet cable, a maximum of 16 channels of audio signals can be transferred without degradation. By using YDIF, it is possible to easily switch signal routing without changing cable connections.
29. YDIF The wiring diagram and the Clock Source will be displayed. Follow the displayed wiring diagram to connect the actual devices to each other with YDIF cables. Note that there are two patterns: one in which ring connection is not required (left diagram), and the other in which ring connection is required (right diagram). When you press the [Finish] button, a YDIF-connected device group will be created in the Project sheet. The wizard-based setup has the following two advantages.

30. Settings for controlling devices across subnets 30. Settings for controlling devices across subnets If you are controlling devices on a subnet that is different than that of ProVisionaire Design, all devices are distinguished by their IP address. For this reason, it is necessary to make settings so that the IP settings of devices placed in ProVisionaire Design (these are called virtual devices) match the IP settings of devices on the network (these are called real devices).
30. Settings for controlling devices across subnets A static IP address is set for the virtual device. 8. Click the [OK] button. To assign an IP address to a real device, you can either make settings by operating the real device, or you can use the "IP Address" dialog box to specify an IP address for the real device. Here we will explain how to use the “IP Address” dialog. Next, we will explaine the procedure for setting the IP address set for the virtual device to the real device. 1.
