Zone Selection Behavior

Page 4

The Sooloos module will connect to the Sooloos server when the open_connection input is

pulsed and will attempt to connect to the ﬁrst zone#_id module parameter. The Crestron pro-

gram can switch the zone the module is currently controlling by pulsing the corresponding

select_zone# input. If at any time the module can’t connect to the server or the supplied zone

identiﬁer is not valid, the zone_valid output will be low. This output is intended to be used to

display a subpage in any touch panel project which indicates to the user that the touch panel is

waiting for the zone to exist before giving the user control. In order to join this output to a sub-

page, it is necessary to negate it by using a NOT symbol. The resulting zone_not_valid output

from the NOT symbol can be used as the subpage join in the VT Pro-e project.

For basic installation, where one touch panel uses one module instance to control one zone, the

select_zone# digital inputs should be set to 0, the zone1_id module parameter should contain

the zone identiﬁer, and all other zone#_id module parameters should be commented out.

The Crestron program can switch the active zone by pulsing a select_zone# input high. After

switching to controlling the new zone, the module will update its relevant outputs with the cur-

rently playing song information for the new zone.

The zone#_id module parameters do not correspond to the physical zone order on any Sooloos

device. This is done to allow the maximum ﬂexibility in conﬁguring touch panels. Crestron pro-

grammers can decide up to 5 zones out of any total number that one physical touch panel can

control.
