Appendix B: IR Code Specifications
This appendix provides details on the various IR remote control codes used by SceneStation.
SceneStation receives the standard Phillips RC5 IR Protocol transmitted on a carrier frequency of
38KHz.
You can use the information in this appendix for programming universal remote controls or IR emitters
for automation systems such as Crestron®, AMX®, Vantage® and others.
SceneStation supports two sets of codes, those transmitted by the SceneStation Programmer’s
Remote, and a second set of codes for discrete preset activation.
SceneStation Remote
Each button press transmits a 5-bit system code and a six-bit data byte. If the button is held down,
this frame is transmitted continuously. Each unique button press transmits a different toggle bit.
The system code can be one of six different user-selectable codes to allow certain remotes to only
work with certain stations or to allow for adjusting the remote’s system code to not interfere with
other nearby devices.
The system code that SceneStation responds to can be set either by adjusting dip switches on the
back of the unit or by using the SceneStation Studio software.
The following table shows the possible system codes used by SceneStation:
