Installation

Configuration

This plug-in must be configured prior to using it in a MainLobby scene. Highlight the MLCAV66 plug-in in MLServer and click on the Settings button to bring up the CAV 6.6 configuration screen. You will be presented with a tabbed dialog box of configuration settings as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1.

The Events Tab

This tab is used to collect and view the status of the plug-in while is use. This is a diagnostic feature and is useful during the initial setup of the plug-in. Click on the Start Logging button to enable the display of plug-in events while the plug-in is in use. See Figure 2.

Figure 2.

The Configuration Tab

Use this tab to configure the various CAVs that you have connected to the system. In this section you will configure all the parameters required to establish connectivity to your CAV controllers and associate MLServer command triggers to certain CAV events. See Figure 3.

Figure 3.

CAV Configuration

All of the configuration options are optional with the exception of the configuration of the CAV controller itself. For each controller in your setup you must assign unique property values for proper operation. To configure your CAV controller click on the CAV in the list (Primary CAV in this example). This will bring up the CAV editing dialog as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4.

CAV Fields

CAV ID: This is the unique value used to identify this CAV. This should be a number between 1 and 6.

Alias: The friendly name for this CAV controller.

Comment: Description of this CAV for documentation.

Initialize MLServer Variables on Load: Check this box to enable the pre-loading of all CAV MLserver variables when the plug-in loads.

Zone and Source Configuration

For each Zone in your CAV you can assign Zone Alias names and descriptions to help document and identify the you configuration. To change the Zone and Source information click on the Zone or Source in question to bring up the appropriate editing tab. See Figures 5 and 6.

Figure 5.

Figure 6.

Trigger Configuration

For each Zone Source you have the ability to define MLServer commands that will be fired when you press a key on an Uno keypad or press a button on the CAV remote. Locate the event trigger for the particular source in the zone in interest and click on the button that you want to assign an event trigger to. See Figure 7.
