3.1 Select or Edit Source (Fig. 18)
Double-clicking on a blank source will open the Select
Source window. This window assigns the appropriate source
number input. The Display Name is the text that will be
read on the Control Pad when that source is selected in any
zone. The display name can contain only capital letters,
numbers, and some punctuation. If an invalid key is typed, it
will be ignored.
The Make field defines the manufacturer of the
equipment. A drop-down menu allows you to choose a
source from the IR Library. The Model field provides a
drop-down menu that allows you to choose the specific
piece of source equipment from the selected manufacturer.
An important feature of the Select Source window is the
Gain level control. Different pieces of source equipment
tend to have different levels of audio output signal. This
slider control allows you to compensate for equipment that
has an inherently lower volume level. By using this
adjustment, when switching between sources, relative
volume levels remain constant.
When the appropriate information is complete, click OK.
This will add the updated source information to the Source
window. When all the desired sources have been defined, go
to Next and proceed to the Macros setup.

4. Macros (Fig. 20)
An important feature of the Configurator program is the
ability to define source specific macro definitions for third
party IR control. The Essentia has a unique ability to store
specific IR commands as preset names. The best example is
cable or satellite. Using the Macro tab, you can establish a
preset name and set the appropriate IR commands to select
a specific station (this will be covered in the 4.1 Edit Macro
Definition section). Macro definition only applies to third
party non-NuVoNet sources.
Adding a NuVoNet Source (Fig. 19)
NuVoNet sources can be placed in the Configuration with the
same procedure as third party IR controllable equipment.
The Configurator program contains IR libraries for each of
the NuVoNet components which have the appropriate button
functions pre-assigned. Even though the components are
assigned, you must still set the NuVoNet source inputs on
each of the components, see Setting NuVo Sources for use
with NuvoNet, pg. 9 & 10.
