Select the Router (typically AVR-8) and select control method. There AVR8 differs from other
matrix switchers in that it can be controlled by serial commands (RS-232) or Ethernet via IP.
Setup of the AVR8 is covered in the AVR8 manual—there are specific settings for both types of
control protocols.
Keywest Technology recommends using IP Network control. To use IP Control set the IP
NETWORK port by entering the port number set on the AVR8 (typically this value is 3000).
Next set the IP address of the AVR8 (per the AVR8 manual).
Choose the Input and Output configuration for the event. This event scheduler is programmed
by the outputs—that is, there are four outputs on the AVR8, so those choices are static. What is
changed is the input that is routed to the particular outputs. Set your input to output
configurations using the provided drop-down boxes.
Set the event date/time and day of week trigger time, add any comments desired, and click OK to
set the event in the scheduler.
ADD LOGOSTAR EVENT
The MX system is capable of controlling external LogoStar 200 devices via RS-232 serial
control. LogoStar 200s are used to insert static downstream logos.
To add a LOGOSTAR 200 EVENT to your schedule, click
Communications and then MX Scheduler.
