The Source Keypad

 creates the ultimate media control experience by providing 

real-time system status, menu-driven control options and source metadata with its 

vertically mounted high-resolution color LCD. Menu options include system source 

selection, M6 Internal Tuner Presets with frequency, iPod® menus and metadata as 

well as a variety of Keypad setup options.

The real beauty of the Source Keypad is that it is so easy to operate. A Scroll Wheel 

and Select Button allow navigation through and selection of the displayed menu 

options. Once a source has been selected, 7 back-lit programmable hard keys 

provide source control and on-screen menu navigation for sources such as CD 

players, media servers, etc. These buttons have all of the programmability expected 

of a Proficient Keypad, with each button being able to initiate single IR commands, 

RS232 commands, Proficient M4 & M6 Internal Commands and macros in each of up 

to three tiers of functionality.

Volume is controlled with a back-lit control knob that features a series of LEDs that 

give a visual indication of the volume setting.

The Source Keypad is designed specifically for use with the Proficient M4 and M6. 

They can be mixed and matched with Proficient PMK Keypads and run on the same 

CAT5 wire used for PMKs. The Source Keypad includes a J-box Mounting Bracket that 

allows installation in most standard 2-gang low-voltage new construction and some 

retro-fit electrical boxes. This design philosophy allows The Source Keypads to be 

retrofit to upgrade existing M4 & M6 installations.

Though parts of this manual cover 

The Source Dock 

and 

The Source Dock

 

Adapter 

for incorporating iPod and additional sources, the Source Keypad does not require 

these components for installation and operation. The Source Keypad can be 

installed without the Source Dock and Source Dock Adapter and used purely as 

an upgrade to PMKs in M4 & M6 Systems. The Source Keypad is programmed with 

Proficient Editor Programming Software and follows procedures similar to those 

used with PMK Keypads. All M4 & M6 System commands, IR Library commands and 

RS232 commands previously saved in Proficient Editor can be used to program the 

Source Keypad.
