Reference Guide

BlueBridge® Site Manager, BB-SM1, Reference Guide

This reference guide is designed to familiarize system designers with all the integrated functions of the BB-SM1. This guide will

outline the steps necessary to complete a system design incorporating the BB-SM1 in a BlueBridge® Designer software design file and

enabling the hardware on the network.

The BB-SM1 serves four main functions.

• The BB-SM1 will serve as a Web Interface for custom control over the BlueBridge® audio system. This includes controlling the

audio system from computers, tablet PCs, smart phones, iOS® devices, and/or any device that has a web browser and can be on

the same network with the BlueBridge® Audio System. (This includes LAN or Wi-Fi.)

• The BB-SM1 simplifies 3rd party control (Crestron, AMX, Etc.) in BlueBridge® system designs, using either Ethernet or RS232.

(Crestron modules and documentation are available on the Atlas website at http://www.atlassound.com/BlueBridge)

• The BB-SM1 can function as a system wide scheduler.

• The BB-SM1 can serve as a Master Project Backup and Design File Storage device.

Designing with a BB-SM1

The BB-SM1 can be incorporated into any Blueprint design by dragging the BB-SM1 module from the system components library onto

the blueprint system design.

In (Fig 1) a design file has been completed and a BB-SM1 has been incorporated into the design.

Note: The internal audio system design of the DSP hardware must be complete (or near completion) before a BB-SM1 can be

configured.

In the Component Libraries Pane, under System Components/Site Managers (Fig 2), select (left mouse click and hold) the BB-SM1 and

drag the module onto the design grid. (Fig. 2.1)

Please note that this can only be done in the System BluePrint mode.

If the Site Manager is not listed in the Library, left click on the design grid to bring up the correct menu items specific to that grid.

The BB-SM1 has four main functions, Web Interface, Third Party Control Management, and System Scheduler each can be found in the

right click menu of the module (Fig 3). The Master Project Backup functions are located in the File and Project menus.

Working with the Web Interface

Select the Web Interface as shown in Fig 3 and the design grid window will open. (Fig 4) The web interface will also open if the

BB-SM1 module is double left clicked. (it is the default interface)

What is designed on this grid system will be the custom user control pages accessible via a web browser enabled device (PC, Tablet,

Android, Smart Phone, iOS device, etc.). The control panel can be a single page of controls or several pages. The process of configuring

these panels is the same as configuring the BB-TOUCH7 or a BluePanel.

When it is necessary to work with several control panels, Atlas recommends labeling each panel with a unique name. This is done in

the Component Properties Pane on the right side window in the designer software (Fig 5). In the example the Name has been changed

to Page-1.

Figure 5

The size of the grid can be changed to easily accommodate different control devices, including a custom size where any screen

resolution can be entered up to 5000x5000.

In the example an iPhone

in a vertical orientation will be used for the panel. (Fig 6)

Panel Control Elements

In the Component Libraries Pane the “Panel Control Components” will appear by left clicking on the design grid for the web interface.

(Fig 9)

In this library there are four design elements that can be used for creating a unique control page or a series of control pages that can

be accessed via a web browser. The four elements are:

• Control Page Button - This allows the designer to put a button on the control page that will allow a user to navigate to other

control pages. These other pages can be password protected if necessary.

• Label - This allows a designer to put a name or set of instructions into any part of a control page.

• Image - This allows a designer to import a PNG image file into a control page.

• Note: The PNG file is not stored in the design file and will have to be available for anyone needing to do work online with the
design file.

• Rectangle - This is a container tool that is used as a graphic element to separate sections of a control page.

To add a control page button into the design, left click and hold on the “Control Page Button” text in the library. (Fig 9) Drag and drop

onto the design grid. (Fig 10)

Once this is complete, the button can be set-up in the Component Properties Pane. A name can be entered in the Component box

that will be displayed on the button itself. The appearance of the button can be changed including text color, font size, and background

color. Note: The button must be associated with another control page. This is completed in the “Control Screen Name” box. When

entering a screen name it must exactly match the name of the control page that it will be associated with. (Fig 10.1 and 10.2)

Adding Control Elements

Adding control elements is as easy as dragging in any fader, button, meter, etc. from a DSP module into the design file and dropping it

on to the Web Interface design grid.

Once the control element is on the Control page it can be adjusted including size. Sometimes it is difficult to control a slide fader on a

mobile device and because there may be several different scenarios, it is possible to turn this fader into several different types of gain

controls. Complete this by right clicking on the fader and selecting Change Control Type. (Fig 25) The choices for the selected control

element will be made available. (Fig 25.1)
