I hear that! SB Touch should seize this opportunity to make the gear
more zone/sync-friendly. Here's a UI suggestion for Radio: press the
volume knob (which in 7.4 toggles the mute state) and get a screen like
Code:
--------------------
Volume for synced players
xxxxxxxxxx---------------
Volume for this player
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-----------
Volume for Den
xxxxxxx------------------
Volume for Kitchen
xxxxxxxx-----------------
--------------------
Use the nav wheel to select a line, and the volume knob to change the
volume of the selected line. Mute is toggled by pressing a knob while a
line is highlighted, so you could easily mute any or all players. Use
three different colors for the volume indicators: one for the whole sync
group, one for the local player, and the other color for each of the
other players. Let users decide whether simple volume knob turns (i.e.,
using the volume knob on any other screen) control local or all synced
players' volumes. If the knob normally controlled the whole sync group,
the first line should be "Volume for synced players". So your typical
volume control would just require turning the volume knob, and the other
normal case would require you to tap the volume knob once to bring up
the special screen, nav down once, and then use the volume knob. Muting
whatever the volume knob normally controls would require two taps. The
"Volume for synced players" indicator would show the average volume of
all players in the sync group.
This should be very doable in an applet. Any takers?
