6.3.2 Adding a NuVoNet Source (as shown in Fig. 34)
NuVoNet sources can be placed in the Configuration with the same
procedure as third party IR controllable equipment. The Configurator
program contains IR libraries for each of the NuVoNet components
which have the appropriate button functions preassigned. Choosing
the correct NuVo SKU from the IR Library is important. This allows
the Main Source Hub to update the associated sources with the
necessary firmware when the Configuration is downloaded.
A good feature for customizing the name of the source for the
customer is the “Always use display name” check box. This overrides
the SKU designation automatically sent to the Control Pads by
NuVoNet. You should note, however, that the NuVoDocks for iPod
will automatically send the name associated with the iPod owner if
this check box remains unchecked.

6.4. Macros (as shown in Fig. 35)
An important feature of the Configurator program is the ability to
define source specific macro definitions for third party IR control.
Renovia has a unique ability to store specific IR commands as preset
names. The best example is cable or satellite. Using the Macro tab
you can establish a preset name and set the appropriate IR
commands to select a specific station (see Section
6.4.1 Creating a
Preset Macro String). Macro definition only applies to third party
non-NuVoNet sources.

Click on the source drop-down menu at the top of the “Macros” tab to
open up the functionality of the tab.
The Renovia System does not have the ability to repeat IR
commands from the IR receivers built into the Control Pads,
so Macros for specific channel or disc selection are important.
6.4.1 Creating a Preset Macro String (as shown in Fig. 36)
An important function of the Macro tab is to create a menu of preset
choices for third party components, such as satellite, cable and CD
changers. When a non-NuVoNet source is selected, a Preset Macro
window appears on the right side of the screen with open spaces for
storing preset station choices. Up to 250 macros can be defined in
this window. When a preset is added to a source, an additional
Preset menu item will be added to that source browsing capability
on the Control Pads. The preset menu is preceded by the three
character source designation established in the Source tab.
