Discrete Codes, Toggles, and other New Words
Using the IR Database
Discrete other New Words
The CK 2.2 Editor database is unique in the industry because it includes “secret”
discrete codes that are not on the actual keypads for many components. These codes
are highly sought after by professional installers because they make automation of the
home theater possible via reliable macros! Here are the facts you need to know:
Discrete Commands versus Toggle Commands
When a keypad’s only button to turn on and off a TV set is labeled Power, it is usually a
“toggle” command. Test it by pressing the button twice. If the power button turns on the
TV, then turns it off, it is a toggle command. If the component stays on, it is a discrete
(vital for reliable macros).
“Secret” Discrete Codes exist for some components.
Why are they secret? Because
the manufacturer wants the keypad that accompanies the component to have the
simplest appearance (fewest buttons). Since toggles reduce the number of buttons, they
make the keypad appear easier to operate. Many manufacturers understand the needs
of custom installers and build their components to also respond to discrete codes. They
distribute the discrete codes via service remotes, etc. For the first time, those codes are
collected and integrated into our database.
