Adjusting Audio Settings
If the Octaire system contains audio, both volume and input gain can be adjusted from the XBar
controller after they are enabled (see page 76).
Note: This functionality is only available in the Octaire on VM 0 and VM2.
Adjusting Volume
The volume feature must be enabled. After volume adjustments are made, you can disable this feature so
the user cannot change the settings (the settings will remain in effect until the audio is enabled again and
new adjustments are made) or you can leave it enabled for the user.
To adjust volume:
1. From any page in the site, click the Controller link.
The XBar launches.
2. Check to be sure the selected VM is either VM 0 (All: audio-follow-video) or VM 2 (Audio).
If it is not, see page 83 for selecting VMs (routing levels).
