Using Control Surfaces

There are a number of ways that a user can connect to and use a control surface in Biamp Canvas:

• By selecting Connect to Network in the System menu, selecting a system in the System List, and clicking "Open Control Surface".
• By opening Biamp Canvas software that has been configured to Auto-Connect to a particular system.
• By opening Biamp Canvas software that has been configured to open a local control surface file and Auto-Connect to a particular system.
• By opening Biamp Canvas software by executing a command on the Windows command line (or by opening a shortcut that executes a command on the Windows command line) that includes the -AC flag.

If the Tesira system is protected, the user will be prompted to enter a username and password.
