Powersoft releases control plug-ins supporting Mezzo Series and its non-DSP install-dedicated amp ranges for the Q-SYS and Crestron ecosystems. The free plug-ins offer user friendly network-based control of amplifier functionality via a refined interface and a high level of user customizability. Q-SYS and Crestron controllers can access key Mezzo functions, including power and standby, LED blink/identify, amplifier nickname, backup strategy mode, source selection priority, gain and mute control, polarity control and user delay.
In addition, a Q-SYS plug-in for DSP+D versions of Duecanali, Quattrocanali, Ottocanali, X and T series is slated for release this summer with brand new functionality.
“Powersoft enables wide-ranging control and configuration of our amplifiers through our own ArmoníaPlus software, but we are also committed to ensuring interoperability with other popular control ecosystems,” said Michael Perry, Powersoft application engineer, North America. “Our new Q-SYS and Crestron plug-ins improve functionality and usability for any users integrating our premium amplifier technology with these popular products.”
CONTROL FOR NON-DSP AMPLIFIERS
The new plug-ins for Duecanali, Quattrocanali, and Ottocanali Series update and improve control via Q-SYS and Crestron for the powerful install line’s non-DSP amplifiers. Users will now have full control over mute and unmute, gain attenuation, maximum output voltage, standby OFF, and the blink/identify function. Read-only access will relay the amplifier’s name, DIP-switch configurations, alarm notifications, and metering.
CUSTOM CONTROL
Powersoft’s new Q-SYS plug-ins allow users to conveniently drag-and-drop control elements from the plug-in to quickly create custom UIs without interrupting functionality or removing the control from the original plug-in UI. This allows users to situate and re-skin individual controls to create workflows optimised for their needs while maintaining underlying functionality and easily reverting to the original plug-in layout.
Supported Powersoft amplifiers can communicate with any Crestron 3-Series Processor via the new plugins. Integrators can choose Crestron Touch-panel, iOS, Android, PC, or Tablet formats to create custom graphics suited to anticipated use cases.
In addition to Q-SYS and Crestron, Powersoft products are now supported in numerous control eco-systems including those from Extron, Symetrix, Xilica and Atlona.
