R1 Remote control software
R1 Remote control software is a graphical drag and drop user interface enabling the construction of a screen based virtual control surface for d&b systems, using the d&b Remote network. All major features, functions and controls available on the front panel of the amplifiers may be remotely controlled and/or monitored using R1. The architecture of R1 allows control of each channel of the amplifier as a single entity and enables the creation of groups of loudspeakers in as little, or as much detail as required by the application. When grouped together, a button or fader can control the overall system level, zone level, equalization and delay, power ON /OFF, MUTE and loudspeaker function switches such as CUT/HFA/HFC or CPL.





Applications
In mobile applications, system engineers may use the remote network to verify and tune the system. System check and device diagnostics enable detailed monitoring as and when required, before, during, or after a show. In installation projects system integrators can configure R1 to offer access to different levels of control tailored to the operational demands. For example, simplified functionality for daily use and more complex functionality when multiple applications are required within one installation. Input and Load monitoring coupled with automatic error messages allow installation operators to ensure the optimum performance at all times.





R1 has extensive facilities for storing and recalling system settings allowing these to be repeated, as and when required. It is easy to adjust R1 project files for use with a different set of equipment at another location. Password protection is available to restrict access. R1 runs on PCs operating Microsoft Windows   2000/XP/Vista. A virtual machine enables R1 to run on the newer Intel Mac in parallel to the Mac OS X, using the Windows driver for R60 USB to CAN interface. For older, Power PC based Macintosh computers, a Windows emulation needs to be used, together with the R60 driver for Mac/PPC. For R70 Ethernet to CAN, no driver is needed. The latest drivers, R1 example files that can be used as templates and the TI 391 describing the effective use of R1 are available in the Download section below.
