I would have agreed that Director saves time setting up and updating NVX's originally, but since the release of the NVXTool, most of the needed setup functionality that made the Director worthwhile went away.? For programming, if your under 50 sources (?), then just setup subscriptions and then routing the NVX's streams is the SAME as it is on the director (a single analog value for source stream #).? This is how I've done nearly ALL NVX deployments (using subscriptions).? I've never had a deployment yet that forced me to use serial$ addresses to make the routes, but that wouldn't be much more difficult than analog when/if needed.

?

The downside to the director that I've seen, is when companies engineer systems that have multiple rooms containing NVX and control, and they spec in 1 director for all the NVX's in all the rooms.? That's fine for the setup of them, but for programming and control, it makes no sense to have multiple rooms trying to share a single director so they can do local routing in their local room.? Then you have to architect your programs so that everything for routing funnels down to a single program (single point of failure) that controls the director and EISC's to the other programs.? That is not the best architecture method when you can avoid it (especially for critical functions like routing).? It's much better to have each room directly connect to the NVX endpoints in the local room, and control routing directly, and your programs don't have to be designed to all connect to each other over EISC to handle routing on a single Director.? If the director is used to abstract the NVX's into a DM-type device, it's great...? but most of the time I've seen Director's spec'd into systems, is on larger multi-room deployments where a Director is spec'd in and is expected to handle all the NVX's that span multiple systems, which is not great.

?

But to clarify what the original posted asked, if you use the director or not, you don't HAVE to setup the streaming serial strings if you opt to do the routing using subscriptions.? It takes mere minutes to setup a common list of subscriptions using the NVXTool.
