ADJUSTING IR OUTPUT GAIN
The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the six output ports. The RP-6
is shipped with the IR gain set to the optimum level for most equipment, and it should
only need to be adjusted if the attached equipment is not responding reliably.
If adjustment is needed use the included screwdriver to rotate the IR output
POT
clockwise for higher output power, or counter-clockwise for lower output power.
STATUS LED
The status LED will illuminate Green if a valid system trigger code is detected. The LED
will stay on while the
RP-6 is busy processing the action associated with the trigger
code.
The status LED will flicker Green if an invalid system trigger code is detected. A trigger
code is invalid if there is no action associated with it (i.e. the RP-6 programming does
not match the programming in the device that is transmitting the trigger code), or if the
system zone code does not match.
The status LED will illuminate Red if the
RP-6 does not contain a valid program.
The status LED will also illuminate Green to indicate an active USB connection. A
communication problem is indicated if the status LED is illuminated red while the USB
cable is attached to a PC.
PROGRAMMING THE RP-6
The RP-6 must be programmed to operate. All programming is done using RTI’s
TheaterTouch Designer™ software and is downloaded using the USB port.
Important Note: The RP-6 will not respond to trigger codes or execute
commands while the USB cable is attached to a PC. You must detach the
RP-6 USB port from your PC for normal operation.
The software allows you to create actions (e.g. commands and macros) that are
associated with button presses on one or more RTI remote controls. The software
transparently creates all of the system trigger codes, and generates the correct download
for every device in the system. Unless you implement some of the software’s advanced
features, programming a system that uses an
RP-6 is just as easy as programming one
that doesn’t.
