Control (NL-SB42, NM-T1)
Use the Control component to configure the LED light bar (NL-SB42), LED light ring (NM-T1), as well as the NM-T1 control ring buttons and proximity sensor.
Tip: If your design uses multiple Q-SYS collaboration Endpoints, use the Call Sync component to synchronize the configuration across devices. Refer to the Call Sync topic for a list of supported devices and examples.
Inputs and Outputs
Endpoints
When the Enable Call Sync property is enabled, connect this input pin to the Call Sync output pin of a supported call system. For a list of supported call systems, see the Call Sync topic.
Schematic Examples
See the Call Sync topic.
Properties
Tip: For additional properties not listed, refer to the Properties Panel help topic for more information.
NL-SB42, NM-T1 Properties
Enable Call Sync
Select whether to expose a Call Sync input pin, which receives call states from the Call Sync component. The default is 'No'.
Control ID
You can choose between Auto, Legacy, and Standard.
Controls
Button Configuration
Mute Mode
Alters the microphone Mute button behavior.
Toggle: (Default) When a Mute button is pressed, it toggles between mute and unmute states.
Note: Only Toggle is supported in conjunction with Call Sync. Additionally, if the Mute Button's Toggle control pin is used, the Mute Mode drop-down will be grayed out.
PTT: (Push to Talk) To unmute, press and hold the mic mute button.
PTM: (Push to Mute) To Mute, press and hold the mic mute button.
Note: PTT (Push to Talk) and PTM (Push To Mute) are supported when using the NM-T1 without Call Sync, and when the Proximity Sensor > Link to Mute control is disabled.
Mute Control
This control determines whether audio is muted within the Mic In (NM-T1) component.
Local: (Default) When set to local, any mute button press on the NM-T1 device or virtual mute buttons will cause the audio to be muted within the NM-T1 Mic In component.
Remote: When set to Remote and mute buttons are pressed, audio is not muted within the NM-T1 Mic In component. In this mode, the Mute State output control pin can be used to control muting in the Q-SYS design.
Mute
(NM-T1 Control component only) Mute or unmute audio within the NM-T1 Mic In component, depending on the Mute Control setting.
Mute Buttons
This control enables or disables the four Mute buttons on the NM-T1 device. When set to Disabled, the Mute button backlights on the control ring turn off. The default is Enabled.
Call Button
This control enables or disables the Call button on the NM-T1 device. When set to Disabled, the Call button backlight on the control ring turns off. The default is Disabled.
User Button
This control enables or disables the User button on the NM-T1 device. When set to Disabled, the User button backlight on the control ring turns off. The default is Disabled.
Proximity Sensor
Sensitivity
(NM-T1 Control component only) This control sets the sensitivity of the NM-T1 proximity sensor: Low (default), Medium, or High.
Hold Time
(NM-T1 Control component only) This control sets the amount of time, from 1 to 5 seconds, that a user's hand must be within range of the proximity sensor to trigger a state change. The default is 1 second.
Sensor
This control enables or disables the proximity sensor on the NM-T1 device. The default is Disabled
Fuel Gauge
This control enables or disables the fuel gauge pattern when the proximity sensor is activated on the NM-T1 device. The default is Enabled.
Link to Mute
When enabled, a proximity sensor event will toggle the mute state of the NM-T1 microphone. The default is Enabled.
LED Configuration
Use this section to configure the Unmute, Mute, Ringing, and Idle states of supported Q-SYS collaboration Endpoints with integrated LEDs and how those states are indicated to the user on the LED light bar or ring.
Tip: When connected to a running system, any change to the color, pattern, or speed controls will preview the combination for 5 seconds regardless of the current state of the Endpoint.
Light Ring / Light Bar States
The corresponding LED will light up when the Unmute, Mute, Ringing, and Idle states are changed. These states are managed automatically when used in conjunction with Call Sync. When Mute Control is configured for Remote mode, the system designer may override the LED states directly using the Idle State LED control pins.
Unmute - Device is in an unmuted state
Mute - Device is in a muted state
Ringing - Device is in ringing state
Idle - This functionality only applies when the mic is using Call Sync. The virtual mute button of the NM-T1 follows the behavior defined for the physical buttons in the Idle mode options. For other devices connected to Call Sync (NL-SB42 and TSCs), their LEDs will mirror the NM-T1 when you are operating the NM-T1 mute button as described for Idle Mode.
- Show Mute - When Show Mute is selected, the mute status is shown instead of the Idle Mode color during Idle Mode. This is the default option.
- Flash on Mute - When you pres the mute button while in Idle Mode, the ring will flash quickly 3 times with the assigned Mute / Unmute state color. When the flashing is complete, it will return to the assigned Idle Mode color.
- Ignore Mute - When Ignore Mute is selected, the mic buttons pressed are ignored when the system is in Idle state.
Color
For each state, select what color appears in the light bar or light ring:
- <Color Name>: Select from 16 color names in the list.
- Off: The LED will turn off for this state.
- Custom: For greater color capability, wire a Color Picker component to the Color input control pin for each state.
Pattern
For each state, select a pattern for LED colors to appear: Breathing, Chasing, Chasing w/Tails, Flashing, or Solid (default).
Speed
For each state, select the speed of the selected pattern animation: Slow, Standard, Fast, or None.
User Button Color
Similar to the Color control for call states, you can also configure the color for the NM-T1 User button.
LED Brightness
Select the brightness level of the light bar or ring, from 1 (dimmest) to 10 (brightest). The default is 5. On the NM-T1, this also adjusts the brightness of the Mute, Call, and User button backlights.
Control Pins
Note: Available control pins depend on the component: NL-SB42 Control, NM-T1 Control, or Call Sync.
