| − | ==Dynamic grouping of rooms==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Linn DS systems provides the ability to different play music in every room in the house, play the same music in all rooms or play the same music in a subset of rooms.
| |
| − | | |
| − | All rooms grouped together play the same music in perfect synchronisation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Click <img style="floatcentre" src="http://linn.github.io/kazoo.site/images/MultiroomTile.png" />
| |
| − | 2. Click <img style="floatcentre" src="http://linn.github.io/kazoo.site/images/GroupButton.png" /> on the room you want to group with other rooms
| |
| − | 3. Check the rooms you want to add to the group
| |
| − | <img style="floatcentre" src="http://linn.github.io/kazoo.site/images/iPad-GroupDialog.png" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * You can choose to either select and play the music you want and then group additional rooms or group rooms then select and play music
| |
| − | * Rooms added to a group will immediately start playing music in perfect synchronisation
| |
| − | | |
| − | =Permanent grouping of rooms=
| |
| − | | |
| − | A permanent room is a room that plays the same music as another room but does not appear as a selectable room. An example of this behaviour is a dressing room connected to a bedroom. In most situations a listener would want both rooms to play the same music but be able to control the volume in each room independently.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To make a room a permanently part of a group you need to configure your Linn system using [Konfig](http://www.linn.co.uk/software#konfig). To add a room to as a permanent member of a group you must configure the name of the room's Receiver source, (it's default name is Songcast), to be that of the group.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Go into Konfig and select the Room that will always be the source of the Music, we will call this the "sender" room
| |
| − | 2. Select the *Device* tab and copy the "**Room**" name
| |
| − | 3. Now select the permanent room, we will call this the "listening" room
| |
| − | 4. Select the *Sources* tab in this "listening" room and select the Songcast input
| |
| − | 5. Paste the Name of the "sender" into the Songcast name
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | In our example of a bedroom, called "Bedroom", with a dressing room, called "Dressing Room", you would configure the name of the dressing room's Receiver source to "Bedroom".
| |
| − | | |
| − | * If a permanently grouped room is not playing the same as the group click <img style="floatcentre" src="http://linn.github.io/kazoo.site/images/SatelliteButton.png" /> and ensure the room is ticked
| |
| − | <img style="floatcentre" src="http://linn.github.io/kazoo.site/images/iPad-PermanentGrouping.jpg" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | * The permanent grouped icon will only be visible if there is a permanently grouped room associated with the currently selected room
| |
| − | * Rooms that are permanently grouped do not appear as an selectable room
