The Extra Vegetables Control4 drivers for the Russound ST-2 dual AM/FM tuner implements the following features:

•Reliable Serial Control.
Control is via the tuner's serial port. This means reliable communications between the Control4 system and the tuner and no annoying IR bugs to fall off. It is not controlled via R-NET so if you are combining with our Russound multiroom driver you will need to allocate a separate serial port for the tuner.

•Seek and Tune Functions.
Touch panel buttons are provided to seek the next station up or down the frequency band or to tune up or down in steps.

•Simple to set up favorite radio stations.
Using the Media section in Composer it is simple to set up favorite radio stations for your customer. All you need to do is enter the station's frequency, logo and name and the driver will automatically tune to the frequency when the favorite is selected.

•Display of Frequency and saved station name on touch panels for FM band.
The frequency, saved station name and RDS information will be displayed for FM stations on all Control4 touch panels.

•Display of Frequency on touch panels for AM band.
AM stations are represented only by their frequency on the display.

•Compatible with Control4 OS 1.7, 1.8 and 2.x.
All 'Driverworks' versions of Control4 are supported. There are no differences in the feature sets between versions.

Limitations
There are currently the following limitations with the driver:

•No support for XM
The XM version of this tuner is not supported.

•No RDS Information
This is not a limitation of the driver; the tuner itself does not support RDS information.

Requirements
The following are required for successful deployment of the driver:

•Control4 1.8 (or higher) + HC800 Controller for larger systems

The introduction of any two-way driver into a project adds to the processor load. In line with Control4's recommendations we suggest that an HC800 is used for systems of more than three rooms.
