RoomStar 601 Media Player & Display Controller
The RoomStar 601 unit is a fully featured solid-state media player and display controller which transforms a
traditional
“in room”
TV display into an interactive TV platform, delivering entertainment, TV on demand, and
travel related services as well as video, game and music apps.
The 601 unit is connected to the Hotel TV via HDMI and interconnect cables. The HDMI cable is used to display
the interactive menus and other digital content that is provided by the 601 unit. The interconnect cable passes
IR commands (received by the TV) back to the 601 unit, and it also contains a communication link that allows the
RoomStar unit to send channel change and programming commands to the TV. This allows the TV to access
‘traditional’ live channel content from the Hotel’s RF distribution system as well as the digital content provided
by the RoomStar unit.
The RoomStar 601 unit is sold to authorised resellers only as part of a RoomStar system installations. It must be
installed and configured for use by trained staff only. This document describes the installation process for the
601 unit. It must only be installed using the mains to DC power supply provided. It is assumed the hotel TV is
already installed and configured for use.
You will also need a TV interconnect cable appropriate for the hotel TV type. Samsung, LG and MTI interfaces
are available (part numbers 651, 652 and 650 respectively).
