Features and Enhancements
Auxiliary AV Destinations
- Follow Last Routed Auxiliary: Routes a source to auxiliary destinations automatically.
- Only Follow Sources With Audio: Auxiliary output remains unchanged when video-only sources are routed.
Source Deselection Behaviours
- Decoder Audio Break: Cuts audio stream while maintaining video.
- Decoder Video Break: Cuts video stream while maintaining audio.
Input Switch Actions
- Preset Recall: Trigger audio configurations via input switch.
- Stream Set: Set decoderβs audio and video streams to predefined values.
Pod Settings
- Mute Pods Audio When Lecturer Is Sharing: Student pods automatically mute during lecturer presentations.
Mutually Exclusive AV Sources
Prevents accidental simultaneous sharing of sources from the same group.
Custom UI Visibility
- AV sources can be set as always visible, restricted to Touch Panel or Web Panel, or hidden entirely.
- Lighting toggles and faders can be marked as invisible to declutter interfaces.
Available Destinations
Restrict AV sources to specific destinations; invalid routing options are automatically hidden.
Conditional Routing
Define conditions controlling whether routes execute based on system state.
Blinds Control
Beyond relay control, blinds can be controlled via Dynalite Presets or CBus Fader values.
LED Controls
Macros can trigger built-in LED lights on Qbic Touch Panels for visual cues.
Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System (EWIS)
Space CE now supports EWIS with triggers via Digital IO or Q-Sys GPIO devices.
Recording Behaviour
Customise how active recordings behave during room shutdown: Stop, Pause, or Remain Unchanged.
Transition Time
Configure loading bar duration during room startup and shutdown.
Media Player Controls
Added support for direct Apple TV control via infrared.
Sensor Sensitivity
Set ultrasonic and infrared sensitivities and trigger timeout for Crestron occupancy sensors (e.g. Crestron CEN-ODT-C-POE) via Macros.
