VIEW Pro and VIEW Legacy Interoperability
There are several types of interoperability with VIEW Pro and the legacy VIEW products:
• Control Sharing
• Audio Streaming Interoperability
• IR Learning and Control
• Firmware Upgrading
CONTROL SHARING
From a command and control standpoint, VIEW legacy and VIEW Pro devices all appear and act
the same; that is, a TouchLinX Touch Panel, Virtual Control, and VIEW Virtual Matrix (VVM) can all be
used to control both types of products. Currently, command and control, and audio streams are
seamless between the products. For instance, a TouchLinX can control source selection for VIEW
Pro and StreamNet devices.
In StreamNet, Static Menus are menus that appear for selection in a particular room. Static Menus
can be created using VIEW Pro sources in the same manner as the legacy VIEW products. Refer
to Chapter 17 of the Dealer Setup Manual for “Using Static Menus.” This explains Static Menus in
detail.
The VIEW Virtual Matrix software (VVM) is a program interface that can be run on a PC or laptop
running Microsoft Windows 7. Unlike the room-centric based StreamNet virtual control software
GUI that is created by a dealer with the StreamNet Dealer Setup software, VVM Is a system-centric
control software GUI. This makes it much easier for you to control large systems, or control many
rooms on a single screen. In VVM the sources and destinations are differentiated by color for VIEW
legacy and VIEW Pro.
• Light Blue Color = VIEW Legacy Devices
• Light Green Color = VIEW Pro Devices
AUDIO STREAMING INTEROPERABILITY
A VIEW Pro Decoder can receive audio sourced from VIEW MLA100/101/9101/4000,
MLAV300/9300/9500, audio ports enabled for global selection, also iPOD Dock, and VL100/9100/9300
reverse audio.
Conversely, StreamNet Devices can play audio streams from a VIEW Pro Encoder. At this time, video
cannot be shared across the Products because they are using different compression schemes.
» NOTE: Bridging Audio between VIEW Pro and StreamNet is a Licensed Feature. See
your ClearOne business contact for additional information.
