QuVIS Acuity, User Manual

Starting remote control
The process model for placing the QuVIS Acuity under remote control is similar to that of a VTR. The basic concept
is that you open a communication channel between the Acuity and the serial controller by activating
REMOTE
control. As the system actually mimics most VTR’s functions, the QuVIS Acuity is not able to play unless a media
file has first been “loaded” for playback. The same is true for a VTR, if you have not loaded a tape, the VTR cannot
play.
The process for starting “remote control” is the same for all serial protocols even though they may be active on a
different serial port.
Activate remote control
Remote control may be turned ON from the front panel GUI using two different methods. The first method is to turn
on remote control by pressing the Local|Remote button on the dashboard. The second method allows you to
bypass the need to directly turn on remote control by using the playstyle “ Load Remote Control” ( Play Browser 1/5
menu page) to automatically place the QuVIS Acuity under remote control when playback is initiated. A serial
control protocol must be selected prior to placing the Acuity under REMOTE control. See section
Configuring
remote control for more details.
To place the QuVIS Acuity under remote serial control:
1.
Activate Remote Control.
Method 1:
To activate Remote Control place the pointer over the Local button on the dashboard and press the center
touchpad button. The dashboard button will highlight and change the text to read Remote (shown below).
Method 2:
To have the system automatically enable Remote Control when playback of the selected media file is
started, change the
Playstyle ( Play Browser 1/5 menu page) to Load (Remote Control) .
Note: While serial communication has been established between the QuVIS Acuity and the serial
controller, the system is not yet ready to play until a media asset has been “loaded”.
