What you can do using ProVisionaire Control
• Using ProVisionaire Control, you can intuitively place widgets such as sliders, buttons, and images on the page (screen) to create an original control panel that fits the requirements of your installation and your needs, all without requiring any special programming.
• You can place widgets for multiple devices on a single page. Pages for ProVisionaire Control KIOSK (subse­quently KIOSK) allow placement of up to 1024 widgets, and pages for ProVisionaire Touch KIOSK allow place­ment of up to 150 widgets. A maximum of 30,000 widgets can be placed for one KIOSK controller.
• Since you can create up to 50 pages for each controller, a separate control panel could be created for each area and user, or you can create design pages for specific presets or parameter states. You can restrict access to control panels and design pages, ensuring secure and convenient operation of the controller.
• Data for a completed control panel can be exported as an individual controller file for KIOSK and ProVisionaire Touch KIOSK. You can use separate controller files for multiple devices in the same location, or you can save the data as a template and use or share it with other systems. This lets you create controllers efficiently and conveniently.
• Since connection with the system being operated can also occur via Wi-Fi, the tablet PC does not have to be mounted on the wall; it can be operated while held in the hand, and used as a convenient remote controller.
• The operating status and diagnostics information of applicable devices can be viewed using KIOSK’s System Monitor.

Page 8
• Controller
The unit used with KIOSK and ProVisionaire Touch KIOSK. This can be created for separate locations such as a stage wing or FoH, or for sep­arate users. You can create up to 20 controllers in one project.
•Page
A screen consisting of multiple widgets (such as buttons and sliders) that control devices is called a “page.” You can create up to 50 pages for one controller. The page that you specify as the home page is displayed when the file is opened in KIOSK and ProVisionaire Touch KIOSK.
Files
ProVisionaire Control, KIOSK, and ProVisionaire Touch KIOSK use the following files.
• Project file (extension .pvcpj)
This file contains all the settings of a ProVisionaire Control project. It contains the settings for multiple controllers, pages, images, and devices to control.
Modes
ProVisionaire Control and KIOSK have the following modes.
• Initial Mode
This is the mode in which no file has been loaded. From this mode, load­ing a settings file takes ProVisionaire Control to Design Mode or takes KIOSK to Control Mode.
• Design Mode
In this mode you can use ProVisionaire Control to create or edit control­lers and pages. KIOSK does not have this mode. You must have Admin­istrator privileges to use this mode. In this mode, ProVisionaire Control is not online with the system to be controlled.
• Control Mode
This mode is used by KIOSK to go online with devices on the network, and control or monitor them. You must have Administrator or Power User privileges to edit a controller file.
• Controller file (extension .ypvc)
This is the file loaded into KIOSK. It contains the settings for a single controller and for multiple pages, images, and devices to control.
• Controller file for ProVisionaire Touch KIOSK (extension
.ypvtk)
This is the file loaded into ProVisionaire Touch KIOSK. It contains the settings for a single controller and for multiple pages, images, and devices to control.
• Style file (extension .ypvcs)
This is the default style for a project file. A style can be specified for each widget. You can export this as a style file and import it into another project to specify the same style.
Other
This setup guide also uses the following terms.
•Widget
GUI parts such as sliders, buttons, and images. You can assign parame­ters of the devices to these parts, and synchronize them to the faders or on/off parameters.
•Style

Basic process
Using the creation of a simple page as an example, this section explains the process from startup to controlling a device. In this example, we control the level and on/off for input channel 1 of a CL5 (console ID=1). In the case of an MRX, this procedure cannot be used to place a wid­get; refer to “Adding parameters or meters for an MTX/MRX sys-
tem.”
Start up, and register devices
Here’s how to start ProVisionaire Control, create a controller and page, and register a device to control.
1. Start ProVisionaire Control.

Creating a controller file Making KIOSK start automatically
Here’s how to create a controller file for KIOSK installed on the actual operating terminal. For details on creating a controller file for ProVisionaire Touch KIOSK and sending it to the iPad, refer to the “Export Controller
File” dialog box.
1. In the “Controllers” area, select the controller for
which you want to create a controller file.
2. On the tool bar, click the [Export] button .
The “Export Controller File” dialog box opens.
3. Assign a file name, and click [Save].
The controller file is saved.
Here’s how to make KIOSK automatically start up and open a spe­cific controller file (ypvc) when Windows starts on the operating ter­minal. For details on settings in ProVisionaire Touch KIOSK, refer to “Pro­Visionaire Touch Setup Guide.” You can download the setup guide by searching from the following URL.
https://download.yamaha.com/
1. Start the operating terminal.
2. Install KIOSK.
3. Place the controller file in the following folder.
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
xxxx is the user name when logging in to the computer. In some cases, folder names might be shown translated into a differ­ent language. If the AppData folder is not shown in Explorer, enter the folder name directly into the address bar.
4. Restart the computer.
When you log in, KIOSK starts and the controller file opens. The first time, the “Setup” dialog box will open; select the interface that is connected to the same network as the device to be controlled, and click the [OK] button.
This completes basic operations.

Adding parameters or meters for an MTX/MRX system
Since the MRX is freely configurable, it is not possible to register parameters or meters in ProVisionaire Control ahead of time. In order to place the MRX’s parameters or meters in the work area, start MRX Designer; then from MRX Designer’s “Parameters” area or from the component editor, drag and drop parameters or meters into the ProVisionaire Control work area while holding down the <Ctrl> key.
In the same way, parameters or meters of the MTX/MRX system (except for the MRX) can be dragged and dropped from MTX-MRX Editor into the work area of ProVisionaire Control while holding down the <Ctrl> key to place them.
NOTE
If the controller’s “Type” is “ProVisionaire Touch Kiosk,” and you attempt to place a widget that ProVisionaire Touch does not have, it is replaced by a widget that has similar functionality.
