Announcing the Yamaha
Receiver Plugin for MainLobby
Yamaha makes a great line
of audio receivers. They
were also forward thinking
enough to add a very capable
RS-232 serial port for bidirectional
control and status. This
allows the Mainlobby suite
to remotely control the
receiver and display current
working state - even if
the receiver is manually
controlled!
You will be able to create
macros that can change input
sources, preset the volume,
apply an audio effect with
a push of a MainLobby button.
The status messenging allows
you to use the Yamaha receiver
as a multizone amplifier
as you will be able to control
and view status of the receiver
from any MainLobby PC or
touchscreen in the house.
The MLServer MLYamaha Plugin
can support up to 4 Yamaha
receivers. There is also
support in the plugin for
connecting to the receiver
using a Global Cache TCPIP
to Serial adapter.
To protect your hardware
investment (and your ears),
there is a configurable
maximum volume adjustment
so the unwarry can't overdrive
your speakers. Some of the
Yamaha receivers support
on-screen message display.
With the Yamaha plugin,
you can send messages to
display - like what movie
is playing (for you DVDLobby
fans).
No one offers a more comprehensive
plugin for the Yamaha line
of receivers than Cinemar.
If you have one of the listed
Yamaha receivers, download
the free 30 day trial and
try it today!
