Introduction
On the Zone & amplifier pages, the zones and amplifiers
can be configured. It is possible to:
•
Configure zones (see section 43.2).
•
Configure zone groups (see section 45.3).
•
Assign spare amplifiers to main amplifiers (see
section 45.4).
•
Configure BGM channels (see section 45.5).

45.2 Zone configuration
45.2.1 Introduction
On the Zone configuration page, zones can be built. A
zone is a group of audio outputs that, for example, go to
the same geographical area. For example, consider
multi-channel interfaces PRS-MCI with basic amplifiers
that are part of a Praesideo system on an airport:
•
Audio outputs (MCI_01_AMP1) and (MCI_01_AMP2)
go to departure hall 1.
•
Audio outputs (MCI_02_AMP1) and (MCI_02_AMP2)
go to departure hall 2.
Then, a zone can be created called Departure 1 to group
the loudspeaker lines that go to departure hall 1 and a
zone called Departure 2 to group the loudspeaker lines
that go to departure hall 2.
Note
An audio output cannot be part of more than
one zone. After an audio output has been
assigned to a zone, it is not allowed to assign
the audio output to another zone (group).
To control external devices during the audio phase of a
call, it is possible to include Zone active output and Volume
override output control outputs in a zone. A Zone active
output control outputs is activated when a call starts and
deactivated when a call ends in the zone of which it is
part. A Volume override output control output performs the
same action for calls with priority 32 or higher.
Note
A control output cannot be part of more than
one zone. After a control output has been
assigned to a zone, it is not allowed to assign
the control output to another zone.
