I. Overview
As part of its Premier Partner Program, Vantage Equinox products support the Integra DTR Receivers for control of your Home
Theater. After setting up the Integra DTR in Design Center, the Equinox audio and video widget user interfaces for control of the
Integra automatically appears in the EQ41 and EQ73 in-wall touchscreens and mobile devices installed with the Equinox App
(available for iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Android products).

The Integra DTR Receivers work best as part of an audio system and/or a complete surround system that includes multiple sources
and a TV/Display. Therefore, it is presumed in this integration guide that an Equinox supported TV/Display is used in conjunction
with the Integra DTR.

IV. Installation Steps

Use the link above to find instructions on how to properly install the Integra Device. After installation is successful, follow the steps
below to integrate the Integra DTR in Design Center and setup the Equinox products.

V. Design Center Setup

If the controller will be communicating with the Integra DTR Receiver by way of an Ethernet connection then be sure to take
note of the device’s IP address while setting it up because you will need it to properly setup the Design Center file.

5. Configure the Integra’s Zones and Sources – After
determining which zones and sources will NOT be used,
find those items in the Object Editor and check the
Exclude From Audio Widget box.
a. In the Object Editor, assign the Port to either a
serial connection (RS-232) or TCP Client Port as
appropriate for the display.
b. Assign the display to an area.
c. Click on the Input Configuration tab which is
located at the bottom of the Object Editor.
d. Next, determine what type of cable will connect

After the Integra DTR device and EQ40 are configured and a full program or update is done from Design Center to the InFusion
Controller, you should see something like the following display on the EQ40:

When this number is filled in with white, then the current station is that number of preset. When
saving a new preset, this number indicates which preset it will be saved to.
Press the name of the station number to cycle to the next preset station. Hold down this button
to save the current station as a preset. The number of preset is indicated by the number to the

VII. Add Additional Equinox Devices and Program Controller

To use the Integra with the Equinox video widget, simply add and name any EQ73 or EQ41 (from Vantage Objects | Touchscreens in
the Object Explorer pane) in their respective areas in your Design Center project. (For the Equinox mobile app, no object needs to be
added.) No additional Design Center setup is required.

Connect to the InFusion Controller. Configure the devices. After the devices are configured, do an Update or Full Program. The
devices should now be operational.

When doing a full program or update on larger systems, the InFusion Controller and driver may take a few minutes to configure
correctly, establish communication, and initialize the several devices on the system.

VIII. Equinox Widget Navigation

Once an Integra is added to the project, the video widget will normally appear on the EQ73, EQ41, and Equinox Apps. If the widget is
not visible, go to Profile Settings and select the widget to make it visible. Note that if the video widget is already on the Equinox
device, but the Integra is not visible; go to the widget’s Edit Mode (see below) to toggle the Integra to make it visible.

The following screen shots, taken from a typical EQ73 device, show the basic navigation for full Equinox widgets on the EQ41, EQ73,
and Equinox App, among the three widget views: Dashboard, Full Screen, and Edit Mode. Refer to the “Equinox Apps Widget Install”
document on Vantage’s website for more detailed information.

Equinox App Licensing Note

Install the Equinox App (search for Vantage Equinox) on your iOS or Android devices. A valid license is needed for each Equinox
device connected to a Vantage System. Licenses are available via Controller SD cards for up to 5 (EQ-APP-5), 10 (EQ-APP-10), or
unlimited (EQ-APP-X) quantities of Equinox devices. Also, each EQ73 station adds one more license (EQ73TB-T1). Ensure Step 1 of
the Design Center Setup was completed, as the Equinox App will not run without the Equinox Mobile Passcode. Launch the App, and
follow the on-screen prompts in the Setup Wizard.

XI. Tech Notes

Things to Know / Gotchas:
 The EQ40 makes ALL sources available even though those sources may have been excluded from the widgets (step 5 in the
Design Center Example Setup above). Follow the instructions in step 3 of the “To Setup Audio on an EQ40” section above to
resolve this.

Known Issues
 The Tuner source in the EQ73/EQ41/EQApp shows that the Sirius button is available whether Sirius is activated or not. These
buttons will do nothing.
 Many of the onboard sources of the Integra are not directly controllable by Vantage systems. However, it is usually possible to
change the current source to be these onboard sources and to provide basic navigation commands so as to navigate the
available menus.
