A method of providing a user interface for multistreaming audio control, the method comprising:
- determining whether a multistreaming mode of an audio device is activated upon receiving from a user a command to execute a popup menu for content;
- providing play menu items of audio panels to the popup menu for the content if the multistreaming mode is activated;
- and
- playing the content through an audio panel selected by the user.
A method of providing a user interface for multistreaming audio control, the method comprising:
- determining whether a multistreaming mode of an audio device is activated upon receiving from a user a command to execute a popup menu for content;
- providing play menus of audio panels to the popup menu for the content if the multistreaming mode is activated;
- and
- displaying a play program of the content on a monitor mapped to an audio panel selected by the user.
A method of providing a user interface for multistreaming audio control, the method comprising:
- determining on which monitor among a plurality of monitors a content icon is displayed once a user issues a play command for content using the content icon;
- checking an audio panel that is mapped to the monitor on which the content icon is displayed;
- and
- playing the content through the audio panel.
A method of providing a user interface for multistreaming audio control, the method comprising:
- determining whether an audio panel mapped to a hot key that controls the audio panel is in an active state once a user presses the hot key;
- and
- deactivating the audio panel if the audio panel is in the active state and activating the audio panel if the audio panel is in an inactive state.
A keyboard comprising:
- a key button module which includes a plurality of key buttons and at least one hot key button to control an audio panel;
- a keyboard controller which generates a key signal corresponding to a key button pressed by a user;
