Main Takeaways
Be sure to have the most up to date Autonomic Drivers [625]
-MCP Driver
-Instance Drivers for outputs, ie Player_A
-Instance Driver for Streaming Service, ie Spotify.
Once everything is configured for the MMS and your Control4 system please navigate to the MCP driver action buttons found under ‘C4-System Design → Properties → Actions'
-Under MCP Actions → start from the bottom up, waiting until each action goes ‘idle’ before moving onto the next.
If done properly your MMS should be in Control4 mode and your outputs assigned to reflect your Control4 amp/processor.
IE, use case, consider 2 - m801e’s, a total of 16 zones, zones 7 & 8 are pre-outs.
In Control4’s view one big amp, please configure your endpoints as such
Zones 1-16
if not using zone 7 and 8 on the first amp please continue to program your endpoints for zone 9, 10 etc..
Considering amp drivers in Control4, in most applications you’ll only need 1 driver, if you have 2 or more amps the driver will be able to see the other amps. You can confirm this by viewing the Autonomic Amp Driver under C4’s System Design view → properties → Amplifier MAC address.
Make sure to have both amps on the same System ID by default they should both be on 'System ID -1'
You can find this by going to the ampIP/Config → Amplifier tab
C4 will take over the Autonomic Amps, there is no need to modify ampIP/config settings.
