What you can do using ProVisionaire Touch

• Using ProVisionaire Touch, you can use your tablet device to intuitively place widgets such as sliders, buttons,

and photos on the page (screen) to create an original touch control panel that fits the requirements of your

installation and your needs, all without requiring any special programming.

• Since you can create multiple design pages, a separate control panel could be created for each area and user,

or you can create design pages for specific presets or parameter states.

You can restrict access to control panels and design pages, ensuring secure and convenient operation of the

controller.

• Data for a completed control panel can be exported as a file, allowing you to use the same controller for multiple

units, or you can save the data as a template and use or share it with other systems. This lets you create con-

trollers efficiently and conveniently.

• Since connection with the target system occurs via Wi-Fi, the tablet device does not have to be mounted on the

wall; it can be operated while held in the hand, and used as a convenient remote controller.

• You can create a settings file for ProVisionaire Touch Kiosk, which is optimized for remote control (subsequently

referred to as Kiosk).

When reading this document

The term “preset” appearing in explanations of the screens and functions of this

application is used in two different senses: “images and materials provided for you to

use in a color palette” and “preset data managed by the processors of the MTX/MRX

system.” For clarity, the word “preset” is used to denote the first sense (provided

materials), and [Preset] denotes the second (preset data of the MTX/MRX system).

Keep this in mind as you read.

Roles

ProVisionaire Touch uses the following roles.

• Administrator

The person who designs and edits the control panel (mainly the installa-

tion contractor.)

This is the person reading this setup guide.

A four-digit Administrator Code is used to lift restrictions on functions.

•Power User

Someone such as a manager of the facility.

This person uses a four-digit Power User Code to access a restricted

page or to edit a settings file.

•Staff

A person who operates the parameters.

This person uses a four-digit Unlock Code to unlock the screen lock.

• Guest

A person who has no operating privileges.

Each role can perform the following actions.

Pages

In ProVisionaire Touch, a screen consisting of multiple widgets (such as

buttons and sliders) is called a “page.”

Using this application, you can design up to 50 pages of different screens

that are suitable for the installed location or the users who use the system.

There are also the following pages for special purposes.

•Home Page

This page is shown when a monitor device has not been specified, or

when offline.

If the [Auto-load this file on next launch] switch is turned on when you

load the file, this page appears when you start ProVisionaire Touch.

• Fallback Page

This page is shown when a [Preset] recall automatically switches the

page (when an Auto Page Change occurs).

Although it is not a page, you can also specify the screen that is shown in

the screen-locked state.

Files

ProVisionaire Touch uses the following files.

• Settings file (extension .ypvt)

This file contains all the settings of ProVisionaire Touch. It contains data

and images for multiple pages, and information on the devices being

controlled (including the contents of the Remote Control Setup List).

Settings files can be sent to another iPad via AirDrop or email, or shared

via iTunes on a computer.

• Settings files for ProVisionaire Touch Kiosk (extension .ypvk)

This is a settings file only for loading into ProVisionaire Touch Kiosk.

Settings files can be sent to another iPad via AirDrop or email, or shared

via iTunes on a computer.

• Remote Control Setup List (extension .rcsl)

This file can be exported from MRX Designer’s “Remote Control Setup

It allows ProVisionaire Touch to load MRX parameter assignments.

When this file is placed in the Documents folder of P.V. Touch, it can be

read by ProVisionaire Touch.

Modes

ProVisionaire Touch has the following modes.

•Design Mode

In this mode you can create and edit pages. You must have Administra-

tor privileges to use this mode. In this mode, ProVisionaire Touch is not

online with the target system.

• Control Mode

In this mode you can load settings files, and go online with the target

system. You must have Administrator or Power User privileges to use

this mode. This mode is also used to verify operation while designing a

page.

• Initial Mode

This is the mode in which no settings file has been loaded. From this

mode, loading a settings file takes you to Design Mode or Control Mode.

Other

This setup guide also uses the following terms.

•Widget

Parts such as sliders, buttons, images, and rectangles used in the graphi-

cal user interface (GUI). You can assign parameters of the devices to

these parts, and synchronize them to the faders or on/off parameters.

•AirDrop

screen, tap the Function Guide button .

This completes preparations for creating a control panel.

You can create a custom control panel for the target system by plac-

ing widgets such as sliders and buttons in this screen and assigning

parameters to them.

In the next step we use a simple example to explain the process of

creating a control panel, making settings, connecting to the network,

and delivering the completed system.

File name

Design Mode

Page name

What if the screen goes blank?

In some cases, the page you’ve prepared in step 6 will disappear

from view if no further steps are performed for several seconds, and

will become inoperable. This is a function called Screen Lock,

which prevents an unauthorized person from performing operations.

Tap the screen to make the screen unlock code input screen appear.

By default, the code is “0000.” When you input the code, the previ-

ous page reappears. To disable this function, refer to Screen Lock.

How do I stop or resume file editing?

If you stopped editing a file and then want to resume editing it, but

you don’t want to repeat the process of selecting a file, loading it,

and entering the access code, you can use the “Auto Load” setting.

When the app is started, the specified file will open in the state in

which it was last closed.

Basic process

Using the creation of a simple control panel as an example, this sec-

tion explains the process of creating a panel and using it to control

the system.

First place the buttons that you want to use as on/off switches.

1. In the menu bar, tap the Page Edit button .

2. In the widget menu, tap the button icon.

The button is placed on the panel.

* To close the widget menu, tap the panel background.

3. Move the button where you want it.

A dotted line and white circles appear around the button that you

placed. You can move the button by dragging a portion of it that’s not

a white circle. You can change the size by dragging a white circle.

* If the dotted line and white circles are not shown, long-press the button to

make them appear.

* You can specify “Grid” for convenience when changing the size or loca-

tion.

* If you specify “Fixed Size,” the size will be fixed and cannot be changed.

Preparations before you make connections

Specify the Wi-Fi access point as described in the owner’s manual of

each device.

Although there is no need to make special settings, we recommend

that you use security such as WPA in order to prevent unauthorized

access to the network from outside.

Guidelines for settings are provided below.

1. Specify the name of the Wi-Fi network.

2. Specify the security mode (e.g., WPA2) and password.

3. Select the wireless mode. (such as 802.11n or 802.11g)

4. If possible, enable “Auto Channel Selection.”

The wireless channel with the least interference will be selected.

For the fastest communication between the iPad and the Wi-Fi

access point, we recommend that you select an 802.11n network. If

you use multiple external antennas, it will be easier to connect to the

Wi-Fi access point.

In addition, we recommend that you make stealth mode and MAC

address filter settings to increase security.

Use CAT5e cables to connect the target system with the Wi-Fi

access point.

Include an Ethernet switch in the system if necessary.

To convey audio signals, connect the ST IN of the MTX or MRX to

the AUX OUT or ANALOG OUT of the MusicCast device or to the

OMNI OUT of the Disklavier.

-Example network settings for other than the iPad

1. Check the IP address setting (IP SETTING) of the

devices in the target system.

On the rear panel of the unit, make sure that DIP switch 6 is set to

UNIT ID (upward position).

The IP address will be specified by the UNIT ID, and will be

“192.168.0.(UNIT ID).”

2. On the computer that’s using MTX-MRX Editor, make

settings so that the IP address will be obtained auto-

matically (DHCP).

3. Change the IP address of the Wi-Fi access point.

Set the Wi-Fi access point to the same network (subnet) as the target

system. We recommend that you use “192.168.0.254” as the IP

address of the Wi-Fi access point. Connect the computer to the Wi-Fi

access point, and change it from the computer’s web browser. For

details on how to make this change, refer to the manual of the Wi-Fi

access point.

4. Set the router to automatically assign IP addresses

(DHCP).

Make sure that the IP addresses do not conflict with the devices of the

MTX/MRX system. The recommended range is “192.168.0.150” –

”192.168.0.200.” For details on how to make this change, refer to the

manual of the router built into the Wi-Fi access point.

5. Connect devices other than the MTX/MRX system to

the network.

6. Specify the IP addresses of devices other than the

MTX/MRX system.

When making settings in Windows, use the following method.

Make sure that the IP addresses do not conflict with the IP addresses

of other devices. The recommended range is “192.168.0.100”--

“192.168.0.149.”

For a Blu-ray disc player, connect it to a television etc., and in the

“SETUP” screen's [Network] section, set [IP Address] to [Manual]

and specify the IP address and subnet mask.

1 Hold down the <Windows> key and press the <E> key.

The Explorer opens.

2 In the left side of the Explorer, click “Network.”

The devices connected to the network are shown.

3 Double-click the icon of a device that is shown in the

“Media Devices” or “Other Devices” area.

The browser starts, letting you make settings for the device.

4 Specify the IP address.

•For a MusicCast device: In the network settings screen,

select “Wired” or “Wired LAN,” turn [DHCP] off, and spec-

ify the IP address and subnet mask.

•For a Disklavier: Go to [Settings] [Network] [Wired

Network] [Use DHCP] to specify manual settings,

specify the IP address and subnet mask, and click [Send].

[Send] might not be visible unless you scroll.

-Example network settings for the iPad

1. In the home screen of the iPad, tap [Settings]  [Wi-Fi].

2. Turn the [Wi-Fi] switch On ( ), and from the access

point list that appears, select the access point of the

target system.

3. Enter the password of the Wi-Fi access point.

4. Make network settings.

-If obtaining the IP address automatically

1. Select [DHCP].

2. Verify that “IP Address,” “Subnet Mask,” “Router,” and “DNS”

are set.

3. Click the home button to complete the settings.

-If specifying the IP address manually (when it can-

not be obtained automatically)

1. Select [Static].

2. In “IP Address,” enter the IP address of the target system,

changing only the fourth octet (in the illustration above,

“200”).

3. In “Subnet Mask,” enter “255.255.255.0.”

4. In “Router,” enter the IP address of the router or the IP

address of the Wi-Fi access point.

5. In “DNS,” enter the IP address of the DNS or the IP address

of the Wi-Fi access point.

6. Click the home button to complete the settings.

-Tips for network settings

1. The IP addresses of the devices you’re connecting must be

set to the same subnetwork.

*1 If the Wi-Fi access point does not have router functionality, specify the IP

address for accessing the Wi-Fi access point device.

2. Connect the target system to a LAN port of the Wi-Fi access

point.

If you connect it to the Ethernet port (WAN port), it will be

impossible to communicate correctly between the smart

device and the target system.

3. Start ProVisionaire Touch.

ProVisionaire Touch detects the target system and connects

automatically.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Action

Can’t communicate with the

target system.

Wi-Fi settings are incorrect. Make settings that are appropriate for the access point that’s connected

to the target system.

Can’t disable the settings file

auto-load setting.

There is only one settings file, and

the setting cannot be disabled by

switching files.

In the iOS “Settings” window, choose “P.V. Touch”; then in “P.V. Touch

Settings” that appears at the right, disable the “Auto-load this file on next

launch” switch.

The message “Can’t connect

to the Internet” appears on the

iPad screen, and ProVisionaire

Touch can’t connect to the tar-

get system.

This is because iOS6 and later

may attempt to connect to the

Internet when you select a Wi-Fi

network.

You will need to make the appropriate setting on the Wi-Fi device

(access point/router) so that this message does not appear. One

method of changing the setting of the Wi-Fi device is to disable the

“redirect function”; contact the manufacturer of the device for details.

Can’t operate more than four

widgets simultaneously.

Multitask gestures are turned on. When using ProVisionaire Touch, we recommend that you turn multi-

tasking gestures off.

1. On the iPad, tap [Settings].

2. Choose [General]>[Multitasking Gestures]>[Off].

To reduce the amount of memory occupied, delete an image that you’re

using. If you ignore this message and add a photo etc., the app may

crash.

Can’t connect eight iPad units

to one XMV/EXi8/EXo8.

Of the eight sessions simultane-

ously connected to the XMV/EXi8/

EXo8, one session is used for

communication between the MTX/

MRX and the XMV/EXi8/EXo8.

For this reason, a maximum of

seven external control devices

can be connected.

Use a maximum of seven iPad units to control the XMV/EXi8/EXo8.

A file won’t open. You’re attempting to load a Kiosk

file into ProVisionaire Touch.

Specify a settings file with the correct .ypvt extension.

Nothing is shown for Disklavier

or track list.

The assigned device is not con-

nected to the network.

Connect the assigned device to the network.

Can’t delete an unneeded

RCSL file, etc.

Using the iPad itself, it is not pos-

sible to delete files in “shared

files.”

Use iTunes to delete the file.
