Condition Trigger
DIFFERENCE:
ThisfeatureisavailableonlyinHDMI-TPS-RX110AY-PlusmodelfromFWpackagev1.5.0b3.
ThisimprovementintheEventManagerworksasifaconditionisdetected.Whenacomplexcontrolsystem
is built, a Condition may trigger numerous Actions. A typical example is when a system is powered on and
the ’ready-to-use’ state has to be loaded. In this case, there could be many actions which are based on the
same condition. In order to reduce the number of the commands, you can trigger one ’key’ condition, which
could start the whole process.
