Device & Bus Addressing
Each device (such as a fader input or button panel) requires its own Device Number. Within that
device, each button, lamp and feature has a Bus Number. Together, the Device and Bus Numbers
allow the Audio Engine and Surface to communicate.
When configuring the Mosaic’s programmable buttons in CommandBuilder, you will require the
Device Number and Bus Number for each button or lamp. The information below will help you
determine the addressing scheme in use on your Mosaic. As the layout of the Mosaic is extremely
flexible, the addressing will vary and is usually unique to your station.
Please note that addressing is configurable, and any defaults listed may have been overridden.

How Addressing is determined
Uses the standard Monitor, Headphones, Guest/Studio, Cue Gain, External Cue
Gain & TB Return addressing
Uses chan29 (lamps) and chan30 (switches)
Device Pair determined by COM port allocation (configurable)
Low device = lamps, High device = switches
Device Pair determined by COM port allocation (configurable)
Low device = left fader, High device = right fader
Uses chan33 for Left LCD screens and chan34 for Right LCD screens
Should be connected to Port 12 on underside of Mosaic, or Port 17 for 2nd bridge

Device Numbers
In Mosaic v1.x the Device Number of a module is determined by its firmware and position. In
some cases, non-default port mapping was hard-coded into the ROM to suit user requirements.
In Mosaic v2.0 and above (from November 2005), the Device Number allocated to COM ports is
user configurable. An international set of default mappings is installed in the ROM, but this map is
adjustable using ASM commands in your Init Trigger.
When using Device addressing, we recommend you use the SURF# CHAN# notation in
CommandBuilder. This provides more flexibility for future changes, and allows you to relocate the
surface or re-use the code on another port by finding and replacing the SURF# instances. Shown
below is the hex equivalent of the channels of a Surface connected to Audio Engine Port 1.
