System Software
A Windows
-based software package, SmartPresenter, is available but only
necessary when performing the more advanced features of this system (i.e.,
configuration cloning, adding devices to the User Database, controlling a fifth
device, or upgrading firmware). The software also offers the option to print a list of
supported devices.
System Configurations
There are six SPS systems available, refer to table after this paragraph. Each
configuration is identical with respect to the four basic components: SP-1,
transmitter, sprayer, and cable. The configurations differ due to the frequency
requirements in certain parts of the world, the power pack specification
requirements of the SP-1, and whether the laser pointer transmitter is used. Systems
that operate at 418 MHz are denoted with the “/UK” suffix. Systems that operate at
433.92 MHz do not have the suffix. An “I” after the second “S” in SPS or the
“/UK” suffix indicates the need for a 220V external power pack. If the “I” and
“/UK” suffix are omitted, a 110V power pack is required. The “-L” suffix indicates
the system utilizes a laser pointer transmitter.

Functional Description of the SmartPresenter
The SP-1 has been designed to remain in the room with all of the controlled
devices. The unit has all the ports necessary to output IR and RS-232 commands to
controlled devices. IR probes (sold separately) can be affixed to each device or an IR
sprayer (attached to a designated SP-1 output) can be positioned to “spray” IR
signals to all controllable devices in the room.
The SP-1 contains a Crestron Database of supported device codes (Q-Codes). Q-
Codes are the six-digit codes assigned to each model-specific device in the Crestron
Database. These codes are similar to those implemented with universal remotes for
home use. Each digit in the code corresponds to one of four characters (1, 2, 3, or
4). There is a unique Q-Code for each device in the Crestron Database. If the Q-
Code does not exist, it can be added to the User Database via the SmartPresenter
software. Refer to “Adding Q-Codes” on page 11.
The SP-1 accepts RF signals from the transmitter which has numbered buttons
(known as device control buttons, labeled 1 through 4). These buttons correspond to
the numbered IR output ports on the SP-1. Once a device is assigned to an output,
selecting a device with a numbered device control button readies that device for any
subsequent function commands that may be sent. The selected device remains active
until another device is selected via the numbered device control buttons on the
transmitter.
