Setting the Remote Control ID Function
The remote control can be used to control up to 100 individual MultiSync monitors using what is called the REMOTE CONTROL
ID mode. The REMOTE CONTROL ID mode works in conjunction with the Monitor ID, allowing control of up to 100 individual
MultiSync monitors. For example, if there are many monitors being used in the same area, a remote control in normal mode
would send signals to every monitor at the same time (see
Figure 1). Using the remote in REMOTE CONTROL ID mode will
only operate one specific monitor within the group (see
Figure 2).
To Set Remote Control ID
While holding down the REMOTE ID SET button on the remote control, use the
KEYPAD to input the Monitor ID (1-100) of the monitor to be controlled via remote.
The remote control can then be used to operate the monitor having that specific
Monitor ID number.
When 0 is selected or when the remote control is in normal mode, all monitors will
be operated.
To Set/Reset Remote Control Mode
ID Mode - To enter ID Mode press the REMOTE ID SET button and hold down for
2 seconds.
Normal Mode - To return to Normal Mode press the REMOTE ID CLEAR button
and hold down for 2 seconds.
NOTEN:
• In order for this feature to work properly, the monitor must be assigned
a Monitor ID number. The Monitor ID number can be assigned under
the SYSTEM menu in the OSD. See
• Point the remote control toward the remote sensor of the desired
monitor and press the REMOTE ID SET button. The MONITOR ID
number is shown on the screen when your remote control is in ID
mode.
Use the Remote Control to Control all Monitors in Range
1. On the remote control, press and hold down the REMOTE ID SET button while
using the keypad to input the REMOTE CONTROL ID number “0”.
2. All monitors within range of the remote control will now respond to keypad press.
NOTEN:
When the REMOTE ID is set to “0”, pressing REMOTE ID SET will make all monitors, within range of the remote signal,
show their Monitor ID on screen. This way you can easily see what the Monitor ID is if you want to control a single
monitor, as described below.
Use the remote control to operate a monitor that has a specific MONITOR ID number assigned to it
1. Set the [MONITOR ID] number for the monitor (see
). The [MONITOR ID] number can range from 1-100.
This [MONITOR ID] number allows the remote control to operate this specific monitor without affecting other monitors.
2. On the remote control, press and hold down the REMOTE ID SET button while using the keypad to input the REMOTE
CONTROL ID number (1-100). The REMOTE ID NUMBER should match the MONITOR ID number of the monitor to be
controlled.
3. Point the remote control toward the remote sensor of the desired monitor and press the REMOTE ID SET button.
The MONITOR ID number is shown in red on the monitor.
If the REMOTE CONTROL ID is “0”, then all monitors in range will show their particular MONITOR ID number in red.
If the MONITOR ID number is shown in white on the monitor, the MONITOR ID number and the REMOTE CONTROL ID are
not the same.
