The device tree

Some of the devices in the device tree represent hardware elements of the target system, like NIONs; others represent DSP‑based signal processing algorithms and others represent control functions.

Tip: To filter the contents of the device tree, type in the Filter box above the device tree and click Apply. NWare will display only devices with names that match the search phrase. Click Clear to clear the filter.

Tip: To expand or collapse the entire device tree, right-click the device tree, and then click Expand All or Collapse All.

Hardware

MediaMatrix hardware devices, including NIONs, nControl units and CABs, and third party hardware, including JL Cooper devices.

DSP

A large number of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) devices you can include in your design and wire to other devices. These include filters, white noise generators, level meters and many more.

Control

A number of different types of devices for working with ControlMatrix, logic gates (AND, OR, NOT etc.), Python Script, and more.

Under Knobs, Faders, Etc., you can find Generic Controls. You can use this object to create several different kinds of controls, including knobs, faders, meters etc. Drag Generic Controls over to the design page and click OK to create the control. Open the new Controls block, then edit the control properties of the knob control inside. On the Style tab, select a new control style to create a fader, meter etc.

Presets

Devices for capturing and saving the values of controls in your design. Each preset device can save and restore several sets of control values in datasets.

nControl Devices

The nControl Devices part of the device tree contains devices for use exclusively with nControl nodes and nTouch 180 nodes.

Note: These devices cannot be used with NioNodes.

The majority of the devices are SNMP based and return status information about different types of hardware devices on the network, including switches and UPS devices.

Graphic Elements & Blocks

Objects for enhancing the graphics in your design, including:

Blocks that can contain groups of objects, including:

Plugins

Plugins store collections of devices from your designs. By creating a series of plugins you can reuse and share custom functionality with other users.
