HD Player Chapter 11: Remote Control Configuration

Chapter 11: Remote Control Configuration
Two specific components are required for the remote control of the HD Player: a physical link and a protocol.
These are analogous to a telephone conversation between two people - the telephone being the physical link and
the protocol the language used for the conversation.
The HD Player utilizes two types of physical links, RS232 serial, or Ethernet using TCP/IP.
A number of different protocols are available for interface with standard control systems.
In order to use the Player for remote control a “Method” needs to be created. This provides the link between
physical medium, protocol, and video channels.
Methods are created using the “Remote Control Methods wizard”. This can be reached from the configuration
menu as illustrated below.
•
Click on Configurations/Remote Control Configurations in the main menu to display the Remote
Control Methods wizard described in the following section.
The Remote Control Methods dialog
The initial Remote Control Methods display shows a list of methods that have been defined so far. The number of
methods allowed is unlimited and can use any combination of RS232 and TCP/IP.
To create a new Method
Click the New button located to the right of the dialog. This will invoke the Method Type page of the Remote
Control Wizard. The wizard follows the format commonly found in Windows based software, where a series of
screens appear requiring information to be entered. When you have entered the details required in a screen, use the
“Next” button to move on to the next page. The
Back button can be used at any time to step to the previous page.
