Device properties

Type

String

The control value passed to the Snapshot device will be stored as a string.

If you wire a boolean device to the Snapshot device, 0 and 1 will be stored as true and false.

Tip: We recommend using this setting for most situations where Snapshot devices are used.

Value

The control value passed to the Snapshot device will be stored as a decimal value.

If you wire a control knob configured with an integer range of 0 to 20 to the Snapshot device, values on this scale will be stored.

Position

A value in the range 0 to 1 will be stored. This represents the control position as a percentage of the maximum or fully-on position. For example, if the control is turned halfway towards the maximum setting, a value of 0.5 is stored, i.e. 50%.

This setting is designed to work with generic controls that have been set up with the Type of control(s) property on the device properties set to position.

Number of Controls

The number of controls that will supply settings to the Snapshot device. The current settings of these controls will be stored by the Snapshot device.

The maximum number of controls you can wire to the Snapshot device is 256.

Number of Banks

The number of banks to make available for saving control settings in the project. A column of settings for each bank will be added to the control surface.

The maximum number of banks is 64.

Advanced properties

Role assign

The role that this device belongs to. Devices in your design are allocated to roles (either manually, or automatically by NWare). Roles are then assigned to MediaMatrix hardware devices for processing during deployment.

You can manually assign a device to a role by clicking the button to change it to the button, and then selecting a role name in the list.

NWare will decide which role this device belongs to.

The user will specify a role manually.

Multiple devices have been selected for assignment to a role; some of the devices have already been assigned to a role manually and others have not.
