Lyngdorf MP-50 – External Control Manual
21
Controlling OSD and OSD Menu
There are two On Screen Display menus in the MP-50 controller:
- The installer menu, which is intended for the setup of the processor
- The user menu (titled “Menu”), which is intended for daily use
It is possible to access and use both of these menus by using the control interface.
Command !MENU<CR> is used to enter the user menu.
Command !ENTER<CR> does the same as the “Ok” button in the installer IR remote.
Commands !DIRU<CR>, !DIRD<CR>, !DIRL<CR>, !DIRR<CR> and !BACK<CR> have the
same effect as the similar buttons in the installer IR remote.
Please note that there is no way for the control interface to know whether the system is in
OSD menu or not. In normal operation, there should be no need for the user to access the
On Screen Menu when using a dedicated control interface.
Direct controlling of HDMI outputs
It is possible to control the HDMI outputs of the MP-50 controller directly using special
control interface commands. The controlling allows routing of any HDMI input directly to
either one of the HDMI outputs in bypass mode. Bypass mode means that there is no On
Screen Display possibility. These commands are not available for the HDMI output currently
used as the main output. For selecting what is shown on the main output, please use the
source-commands.
The commands !HDMIOUT1(X), !HDMIOUT2(X), !HDMIOUT3(X), are used for selecting
which input is shown on each output, where X is the number of the input. See the list of
video inputs for the values.
Control of main HDMI output
The main HDMI output is controlled by using the source-commands, but there are two
additional functions to use for the main output.
The command !HDMIMAINOUT(X) can be used to select which HDMI output is used for the
main output. For possible values, see the table of video outputs. Note that one of the
available outputs is the “Video Wall” option, so this command can be used to enable or
disable the video wall. To request the current value, use the command !HDMIMAINOUT(X).
