DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer’s Guide

Introduction

Design XPress - Professional (DXP-PRO)™ is a software package developed to assist AMX

dealers in quickly designing, installing, and programming a control system. The type of control

system created using DXP-PRO allows the selection and control of audio/video sources,

audio/video switchers, display devices, room lighting, and audio/video conference equipment

(among other functions).

DXP-PRO allows control from AMX's CV6 (6" wired touch panel), CA10, CV10 (10.4" wired

touch panels), as well as the entire line of Modero (G4) touch panels (refer to the Supported Touch

Panels section on page 5). A wizard-based graphic user interface (GUI) helps a dealer quickly step

through the process of entering information specific to the system being created.

The DXP-PRO Project Wizard also allows you to specify the type of NetLinx Master Controller

used to control the system. DXP-PRO supports NetLinx Integrated Controllers such as: NI-700,

NI-2000, NI-3000, NI-4000, and the NXI equipped with an NXC-ME260/64 Master card. The

wizard only allows you to choose a NetLinx Master that is able to accommodate the devices and

functions specified within your project.

Once the steps outlined in the wizard are completed, it automatically generates all NetLinx program

files, touch panel files, and a comprehensive report file for the system. While these

auto-generated program files can be used as-is, they can also be modified using NetLinx Studio™

and TPDesign4. These applications allow you to customize the NetLinx code and touch panel files

to accommodate specific client desires as well as those unique requirements always found in

custom installations.

This manual will take you through the steps required to generate a system using the DXP-PRO

wizard.

New Features available within version 1.1

 Enhanced Automation

This new feature is added as a selectable option within the Touch Panel Interfaces dialog

page. Enhanced Automation allows you to exclude specific buttons from the Navigation

menu, such as Display, Lights, Macros, and Relay buttons. It also allows you to

customize the DXP-PRO generated touch panel file information by copying buttons from

the underlying pages and providing that functionality onto the current page.

De-selecting these (Display, Lights, Macros, and Relay) radio boxes specifies which

buttons will be excluded from the output touch panel pages (within the project file) for

the chosen touch panel.

You can have multiple instances of DXP-PRO generated projects open in NetLinx

Studio at any time.

Introduction

DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer’s Guide

 Support for NI-700 NetLinx Integrated Controller

This new controller is treated the same as any of the other NI Series of Integrated

Controllers. If the project calls for more ports than the NI-700 can provide (2 Serial and

1 IR), it is not selectable as a system controller via the DXP-PRO wizard.

 Support for Cameras

This new far-end control of external cameras (using Serial control ports) is possible by

supporting them as a Source type (external to a video conferencing unit) using a remote

serial interface operating on a selected port. Their selection is added as a choice from a

drop-down selection list within the Camera Control section of the Device Data tab. These

cameras must first be added as a Source type within the same Device Data tab of the

Device Configuration dialog page before they can be used by other sources such as a

video display. This feature is only supported within G4 touch panels.

 Support of remote serial interface usage (Display devices and External cameras)

This new support is added as way of providing far-end control of external cameras and

display devices using Serial control ports. This is accomplished by allowing you to

choose either Camera or Display as a selectable Source Types within the Device Data

tab of the Device Configuration dialog page. This feature allows you to extend their

"reach" and control an external camera directly by parsing out Send Commands to the

external Serial control ports. Local control of cameras is done indirectly via the use of

AXB-PT15 camera controllers.

 Support for MeetingManger

This new support is added as a selectable option within the Integrated Applications

dialog page. Enabling this option, provides the ability to enable touch panel pages to

support the on-screen display of room scheduling and appointments. All queriable

devices within the target environment such as: source/display/switching devices, and

AMX devices (touch panels and NXA-UPSs) can be monitored via the MeetingManager

application.

No scheduling capabilities are available through the DXP-PRO touch panels and must be

done through the actual RMS (Resource Manager Suite) application interface.

To enable online/offline notification, the programmer would need to write custom

Resource Manager NetLinx code within the DXP-PRO project file that is downloaded

to the target Master. This custom code is written within the custom.axi file.

If either a Camera or Video Display (such as a Projector/Plasma and TV) are chosen

to be controlled via Serial (RS-232), two new fields become available within the

Device Data section. Place a checkmark in the Use remote serial interface field to

indicate you are using an external serial interface or leave it unchecked to use a

Serial port on the Master.

If this option is checked, you can choose which port on the serial interface to use by

choosing a port from the drop-down list. This was implemented to communicate to

some cameras and display devices that are not located near the Master.

Introduction

DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer’s Guide

 Support for i!-TimeManager

This new support is added as a selectable option within the Integrated Applications

dialog page. Enabling the Use i!-TimeManager option prompts you to select a time zone

and apply Daylight Savings Time rules.

 Support for i!-Weather

This new support is added as a selectable Source Type within the Device Data tab of the

Device Configuration dialog page. i!-Weather is treated as a source type and not a

controlled source. Only one instance of i!-Weather is allowed within the Source list.

 Support for G4 Computer Control

This new support is added as a selectable Source Type within the Device Data tab of the

Device Configuration dialog page. G4 Computer Control (G4CC) can be configured as a

source type within a system and also available for use within every touch panel that

resides within the same system.

 Support for PictureFrame

This new support is added as a selectable option within the Touch Panel Interfaces dialog

page. Selecting this radio box specifies that the output project file for the chosen touch

panel will support the use of PictureFrame application on the panel's inactivity page.

 Support for TakeNote!

This new support is added as a selectable option within the Touch Panel Interfaces dialog

page. Selecting this radio box specifies that the output project file for the chosen touch

panel will support TakeNote!

 System Startup and Shutdown Macros

These new macros are added to the already existing list within the Navigation and

Routing Macros dialog page. These macros add their corresponding buttons to the initial

logo page and allow users to specify a series of actions (macro steps) that are performed

upon execution of the shutdown or startup macro buttons. These can be zero step macros;

if zero steps are used, the buttons are then removed from the touch panel interface.

 Volume Level Adjustment for a Macro Step

This new feature is added as an available tab within the Macro Steps dialog page. This

feature allows you to set a volume level appropriate to the specific macro's function.

DXP-PRO natively supports G4 Computer Control from AMX. DXP-PRO is not

intended to support 3rd party (free) VNC clients that are downloadable from the

Internet.

When using G4 Computer Control, it is important to understand that DXP-PRO does

not setup the USB stick applications for you. It is necessary to configure the

corresponding configCC and amxCC application information fields (regarding the

Master and touch panels) prior to compiling the DXP-PRO project. Any Master code

alterations and configCC field entries must be done prior to launching the amxCC

executable.

MAX - Integrated Content Servers by AMX

MAX-MMS and MAX-IMS media servers are supported for G4 touch panels only, via Ethernet

control.

DXP-PRO treats these devices essentially the same as any other Ethernet-controlled device (such as

MP3 players). To add MAX servers to a DXP-PRO project be aware that:

 The MAX-MMS and MAX-IMS servers are controlled only by Ethernet and must be

used with AMX G4 touch panels.

 The MAX-AVM A/V Module(s) connected to a MAX-MMS server must each be set to a

unique zone number (per server).

 Refer to the MAX-MMS and MAX-IMS Installation Guides (available online at

www.amx.com) for details.

If multiple MAX-MMS or MAX-IMS servers are used in a project, each server must

have its own unique IP Address.

An identical IP Address can't be assigned to more than one device, with the exception

of a MAX. A MAX unit can ONLY have an identical IP only if it uses different zones

per display name entry. Ex: A MAX-IMS assigned to IP Address 1.1.1.1 - Zone 1 can

exist in the same project as another MAX-IMS assigned to IP Address 1.1.1.1 -

Zone 2. If you assign to max units with the same IP Address and Output Zone, you

will receive an error message.
