now select a SPLCD Button for ENTER and assign it the PLAY TIER 2
Button Id.
9. Continue this for all buttons on the SPLCD (i.e. MRC88 Volume Up,
Down OFF MUTE etc….) that you want to control the MRC88.
10. If more button control is needed from the SPLCD you can still program
standard buttons to pass IR through the CAT5 and MRC88 Controller
as you would in a standard project.
For Macro functionality, use RC68 IR Trigger codes within the MRC88
Software. Therefore the SPLCD only needs to send a single IR command to
trigger a long macro within the MRC88. This keeps all of the Macro
programming within the MRC88.
Placing MRC88 Objects
on the SPLCD:
You can also place MRC88 graphic objects on the page. Objects that can be
displayed are as follows:
•
STATUS
Display: Displays Zone Status, Source Icons, and Zone
Linking information from the MRC88
•
INFORMATION
Display:
Xantech XDT Tuner
Feedback display,
MUTE and ZONE OFF status, Priority Lockout, etc.
•
Horizontal Bars
: Horizontal bar for Volume display or EQ/ Balance
level display
•
Vertical Bars
: Vertical Bar for Volume display or EQ/Balance display.
To display one or more of these objects,
1. Right-click on a blank area of the background.
2. Select
Insert MRC88 Object
from the drop-down menu.
3. Choose from Horizontal or Vertical Volume, EQ/Balance bars,
Informational Display, or Status Display.
Note:
Once placed on the SPLCD Systems window, these objects can be
moved to any desired location and the border colors can be modified to fit the
desired style.
Horizontal and Vertical Bars can be resized for length and width. STATUS and
INFORMATION displays cannot be resized.
MRC88 OBJECT PROGRAMMING: ADDING VOLUME BAR, STATUS BAR ETC…
Tansparent GTL’s and
MRC88 Emulation:
Combining these two features allows for unique programming possibilities.
Below is an example for creating Interactive Volume Bars so the user can press
different areas of the Volume bar and have the Zone Volume Level
jump
immediately to that level. In this particular example we will separate the Volume
Bar into three sections, Low Level, Mid Level and High Volume Level.
This will require programming in both DragMRC and Dragon Drop-IR SPLCD.
MRC88 Volume Level Programming:
(Refer to the MRC88 Manual; Section 5: RC68+ IR Code Triggered Sequencer
for further explanation of the following):
