PL Designer and Client for Windows

As well as being controlled by

iDR System Manager, iDR systems can be controlled via a PC using ‘PL Client’,

an interface which can be designed in ‘PL Designer’.

PL Designer is used to create a custom interface which is opened using

PL Client. The system architect can create a custom wall plate in PL Designer,

providing system control taliored to the user’s requirements. PL Designer

lets the architect create a control layout from a selection of control types,

such as switches, faders, mutes and meters, and positioned over a bitmap

background. The architect can map functions from the iDR units into the

Designer interface. The resulting PL Client panel, designed and customised

according to the client’s preference, can be installed on the client’s PC. The

result is the creation of customised, virtual wall plates. The PC can then be

directly or network connected to the iDR for system control.

For example, the system architect could specify in PL Designer that: a

venue manager could control source selects (e.g. CD, SAT-TV, DVD, etc),

and levels of different zones on multiple floors using many iDR systems through one PL Client interface from the client’s password-

protected computer system. Further levels of access may also be added: for example, assistant managers of the venue may be

provided with restricted access offering the ability for level control of their designated area only.

PL Client

PL Client, created with PL Designer, a tool within iDR System Manager, is the end user software, containing

only the control elements in a .drd file with the design devices removed for tamperproof operation.

The PL Client software is demo-ware and time limited to 10 days. After that

a key is required to run the software which is available from

www.idrseries.com/pl_client.asp

For more information on setting up and configuring PL Designer/Client view

manager software.
