Abstract
An apparatus is provided for remotely monitoring a plurality of amplifiers on a display device. The amplifiers are provided to process audio signals and directly or indirectly connected to a network. In the apparatus, a collecting section collects a group code from each of the amplifiers through the network. The group code is allocated to each amplifier according to a grouping system for grouping the plurality of the amplifiers. A display control section displays a tree diagram of the amplifiers according to the collected group codes on the display device as a graphical representation of the grouping system.

An apparatus for remotely monitoring a plurality of amplifiers on a display device, the amplifiers being provided to process audio signals and being directly or indirectly connected to a network, the apparatus comprising:
- a selecting section for selecting one of a plurality of groupings of amplifiers, each amplifier allocated to at least a first grouping and a second grouping and having at least a first group code and a second group code respectively corresponding to the first and second groupings, the first and second group codes respectively corresponding to first and second tree types;
- a collecting section that collects a group code corresponding to the selected grouping from each of the amplifiers through the network;
- and
- a display control section that displays a tree diagram of the amplifiers according to the collected group codes on the display device as a graphical representation of the selected grouping, wherein the displayed tree diagram is a first tree diagram displayed according to the first tree type when the selected grouping is the first grouping, wherein the displayed tree diagram is a second tree diagram displayed according to the second tree type when the selected grouping is the second grouping.
A method of remotely monitoring a plurality of amplifiers on a display device, the amplifiers being provided to process audio signals and being directly or indirectly connected to a network, the method comprising:
- selecting one of a plurality of groupings of amplifiers, each amplifier allocated to at least a first grouping and a second grouping and having at least a first group code and a second group code respectively corresponding to the first and second groupings, the first and second group codes respectively corresponding to first and second tree types;
- collecting a group code corresponding to the selected grouping from each of the amplifiers through the network;
- and
- displaying a tree diagram of the amplifiers according to the collected group codes on the display device as a graphical representation of the selected grouping, wherein the displayed tree diagram is a first tree diagram displayed according to the first tree type when the selected grouping is the first grouping, wherein the displayed tree diagram is a second tree diagram displayed according to the second tree type when the selected grouping is the second grouping.
