MLC 52 Series MediaLink Controller • Operation
Using the IR Link with the
MLC 52 and the IR 452
To select an input, press and release the appropriate input selection button. The
command that was programmed in the button’s first memory block is executed.
•
All buttons are lit at 25% intensity while the MLC receives power. A selected
(active) input button lights more brightly than those of the other inputs.
•
If there is more than one input selection command programmed in the
button’s memory blocks, you can execute the commands in memory blocks 2,
3, and 4 by pressing the button a second, third, and fourth time.
For example, if you have programmed memory block 1 on the VIDEO button
for a VCR, and memory block 2 for a DVD player, you would press and
release the VIDEO button once to select the input to which the VCR is
connected on the display, then a second time to select the input to which the
DVD player is connected on the display. (Pressing it a third time re-selects the
VCR, etc.)
•
If an input selection button is programmed with a macro, pressing the button
once executes all the commands stored on that button, in memory block order
(i.e., the command in memory block 1 is performed first, then block 2, etc.).
See
Setting up button macros
, earlier in this chapter, for more information.
Operating the MLC 52 Using IR Remote Control
The MLC 52’s optional hand-held IR 452 remote control can be used in conjunction
with the MLC 52 to operate your projector, plasma display, and input devices. The
IR 452 remote control is delivered with commands for a variety of device functions
(e.g., VCR On, VCR Off, Stop, Pause, etc.). These commands can be programmed
onto the MLC’s buttons only via the Windows-based control software.
The IR 452 cannot control the volume knob on the MLC 52 IR VC or the
MLC 52 RS VC. All other functions on the IR 452 are available on the
MLC 52 VC models.
The IR 452 remote control also requires
the optional IR Link in order to send
commands to the MLC, which in turn
issues the commands to the input or
output devices.
