1. A method for automating generation of an audio/video (AV) control interface, the method executable on a computing device having a processor and memory, the method comprising:

  • enabling a user, with a user interface of the computing device on which are executed instructions for configuration of an AV system, to configure the AV system by enabling the user to;

    draw a plurality of output zones to create a representation of a geographical layout of a venue in which the AV system is located;

    place a plurality of AV devices within the output zones of the geographical layout that substantially represent physical locations thereof within the venue;

    logically associate one or more receiving AV device channels of one or more first receiving AV devices within an output zone by enabling the user to instruct the output zone which of the one or more receiving AV device channels to route;

    logically associate a transmitting AV device channel with a source zone in which is located at least a second receiving AV device by enabling the user to instruct the source zone which transmitting AV device channel to route;

    the processor logically replicating an output of the at least a second receiving AV device located in the source zone as an input to the one or more first receiving AV devices in the output zone responsive to the user instructing the output and source zones;

    the processor assigning parameters of the associated first and second receiving AV devices to a control interface for user control thereof by;

    identifying one or more controllable parameters associated with the first and second receiving AV devices respectively associated with the output zone and the source zone;

    assigning a data storage structure associated with each respective controllable parameter to the control interface; and

    launching the control interface in an application window having integrated therewith the controllable parameters and a menu selection of a source AV signal.
