Volume Control And Muting - Polycom soundstructure C8 Application Note

Figure 13. Device mismatch dialog starts the Convert Project Wizard to automatically convert a project
designed for one type of SoundStructure devices to another type of SoundStructure devices.
Selecting Yes will direct SoundStructure Studio to modify the project to match the SoundStructure system
that has been discovered. If the project doesn't fit into the target device(s) because it has too many
inputs or outputs, then SoundStructure Studio will indicate that channels must be removed to fit into the
target SoundStructure system.
If the project fits into the desired system without modification, select Next and then select Finish to have
the project changed to match the target SoundStructure system. Finally there is an option to continue
uploading the configuration or to remain offline and review the configuration for any signal wiring changes
that may have been required to fit the project into the detected devices. If it was necessary to remove
channels to make a project fit, it is recommended that the offline option is selected, the configuration
wiring page reviewed, and then the process started again to upload the modified configuration to the
target SoundStructure system.
If it was not necessary to remove channels, select Yes to continue online with the system and upload the
configuration file. As SoundStructure studio uploads the project, it will check if there is a different IP
address in the device than specified in the project file and prompt, if necessary, to allow the user to select
which IP settings to be used for the resulting online system. The example configuration files expect to
receive an IP address from a DHCP server on the network.
Once the settings have been uploaded, the SoundStructure system is fully operational and running with
the settings defined in the configuration file.

6.1 Volume Control and Muting

When SoundStructure is connected to the HDX 8000 codec, no modification of the control system
application is required for volume control and muting. Commands to the HDX to mute or adjust volume
are communicated over Conference Link to the SoundStructure device. The SoundStructure events
engine then maps those commands to muting microphones on SoundStructure or adjusting volume of the
appropriate channels.
