Control Systems
Third Party Control Devices
Kaleidescape provides a wide range of templates, modules, and sample
programs for control systems from several manufacturers.
Some manufacturers also provide templates, modules and IR libraries to
control Premiere systems.
Control devices can be simple IR remotes or touch panels.
IR Remote Control
The simplest control device is a generic IR remote control for a DVD player.
IR Code Sets
The Kaleidescape movie player supports two major infrared remote control
code sets.
•
Code set used by Toshiba DVD players and other manufacturers
including Philips, Magnavox, Zenith, Onkyo, and Marantz
•
Code set used by Kenwood DVD players
IR code sets can be disabled on the
CONTROL
tab of the player settings
page. When both code sets are disabled, the player will not respond to IR
commands. For help configuring the IR code sets, visit
.
Types of Remotes
IR remotes (other than the Kaleidescape Remote) fall into the following
basic categories:
•
Pre-programmed
•
Learning
•
PC Programmable
Pre-programmed Remotes
Pre-programmed remotes only require setting the remote to control a
Toshiba or Kenwood DVD player. Custom buttons that jump directly to
Kaleidescape menu selections are not available.
Learning Remotes
Learning remotes can be used two ways: as a general remote with a Toshiba
or Kenwood code set, or set to accept (learn) Kaleidescape-specific
commands from a device that can generate these commands (for example,
the Kaleidescape Remote).
