Rotary
The jog dial knob is designed for volume control (in a 16-level scale), but it can be used for other controlling
purposes, too.
Turning left and right the rotary
changes the volume value from 0 to 16. The volume values are the conditions,
which are assigned to the control commands (e.g. SET /MEDIA/PORTS/VIDEO/O2/ANALOGAUDIO.
VolumedB=-96\x0d\x0a). When the rotary reaches the proper position, the
action will be executed.
The control command can be sent over RS-232 or Ethernet (in this case,
the IP address of the target device is needed).
LWR Volume Control Schema
supports to load the LW3 command list
automatically for controlling the volume (and the mute/unmute state)
of the Lightware devices. Choose the proper schema (see more details
about the compatibility table in
section) and
fill the audio port number.
Custom Volume Control Schema
makes possible to configure any command for controlling a third-party device.
Knob press
toggles between the mute and the unmute states. The When
Custom
schema is loaded, press and
release event can be configure for any purpose.
Flowchart of the rotary configuration process
INFO: Customizing the rotary functions is possible with Lightware Device Contoller software (the details
can be found in
section) or with LW3 protocol commands (for more details
see
section).

Real-Time Clock
The real-time clock feature supports to store the exact time in the device. The time can be programmed as
a condition in the event manager: single and weekly repetitive events may be configured with this function.
Local time elements (years, months, days, etc.) help to customize the proper timing of the actions.
A BR1632A battery is supplied with the product, it ensures the fluent operation of the built-in timer while the
device is not powered.
ATTENTION!
The battery is designed for life-long usage in a fixed installation, so it cannot be replaced!
Real-Time Clock Settings
The flowchart below displays the correlation of the time properties. The
red
colored settings can be defined
by the user, the others generated automatically.

INFO: All settings of the Real-time clock is possible using the Lightware Device Contoller software (see
section) or via LW3 protocol commands (in
