Input x Active – True if input x is selected.

Volume – Current volume.

Mute – Mute state.

Bass / Treble – EQ values.

Loudness – Loudness state.

Driver Configuration

Driver Settings

Device Count – Number of amplifiers to control.

Device Config

Model – Select model matching your amplifier.

Name – Friendly name for amplifier.

IP Address – IP address of device.

Dante ID – Dante ID from device’s web interface.

Device Input Names – Nameable sources used in Integration Designer.

Device Zone Names – Nameable zones used in Integration Designer.

Device Group Names – Nameable groups used in Integration Designer.

Dynamic Feature Generation
After naming inputs, zones, and groups, press Apply Name Changes. The driver dynamically generates sources, functions, variables, events, and tags.
Only named zones and sources will be included; blanks are ignored.
Once names are used in a project, later renames must be done manually, as Apply Name Changes cannot update existing tags or sources.

Device Configuration Notes

Dante-enabled amplifiers require a Dante ID, configured in the device’s web interface.

Tags

This driver uses several non-standard tags.

EQ : Preset Name – Function and variable for EQ preset selection and feedback.
Input Source Name – Selects and reports source status.
Lip Sync – Sets and reports lip sync value.
Lip Sync Down / Up – Adjusts lip sync incrementally.
Signal Sense – Toggles or reports signal sense state.
Signal Sense On / Off – Explicitly sets signal sense state.

Events

Supported events include:

Connected – Triggered when driver connects.

Disconnected – Triggered when driver disconnects.

Power On – When system powers on.

Power Off – When system powers off.

Any Zone On – When any zone powers on.

All Zones Off – When all zones are off (useful for power-down).

Zone/Group Name Input Changed – When an input changes in a zone or group.

Troubleshooting

If the driver cannot control the AudioControl system, check:

Ethernet switch is on the same network as RTI processor.

Correct IP address is set in driver properties.

Dante ID matches device configuration.

Use the Dump XML button to save the driver’s configuration (stored in xml-logs under the Apex project folder). Support may request these files.
