We have added 3 new menu control screens in the xLobby default skin and updated the xLobby xcontroller to provide full duplex, 2 way communication with all Nuvo multizone audio systems.

The skin menus are configured for Nuvo Essentia but the interface can be modified to work with there other multizone audio systems.

What is Xpad:

Basically xLobby is using  HTML to recreate a more dynamic 2 way interface to generate all of the same xLobby control GUI menus that  already exist in xLobby for any web based device without having to redesign the complete interface for different devices. Different menus can be created for different devices. Remember this is the first release and we will be updating the Xpad platform on a regular basis.
