Page 50: Creating An Mlc 62 Configuration - Getting Started
Creating an MLC 62 Configuration — Getting Started To use the MLC 62 to control devices, you must create one or more configurations for it, using the MLC 62 configuration program. A configuration is a set of specifications for button command assignments and port parameters that enable the MLC 62 to control your display device or switcher. - Page 51 On the Add Device window, enter a name for your MLC in the Device Name field. Select the MLC 62 model from the Select Model drop-down list. Figure 49. Add Device Window with Select Model Menu Displayed Click OK. The MLC 62 main window opens. Figure 50.
- Page 52 The following is displayed on the MLC 62 window: The device configuration name appears in the configuration tree in the left pane, with the names of the two ports (“Display” and “Serial” or “IR”) to which a device can be connected and controlled via IR or RS-232. The Front Panel tab is displayed in the main section of the window and contains a diagram representing the front panel of your selected MLC.
-
Page 53: Configuring The Ir And Serial Ports
Configuring the IR and Serial Ports The MLC 62 can control devices or switchers via two rear panel ports (the IR/S and RS-232 ports) on the RS models or via one port (the IR port) on the MLC 62 IR D. Use the MLC 62 configuration program to add the desired drivers to each IR or serial port to which a device (for example, your display or switcher) is connected. - Page 54 RS models only: (Optional) If you selected Serial Port (representing the IR/S port on the rear panel) in step 2 and want to configure the IR/S port for IR, select IR Port from the Port Type drop-down menu. When you select the IR Port option, Serial Port changes to IR Port on the device configuration tree.

Page 55: Configuring The Front Panel Buttons
Configuring the Front Panel Buttons The Front Panel tab on the MLC 62 window enables you to configure the buttons on the MLC 62 front panel. By clicking on a button, then making selections from the available menus, fields, and sub-tabs on the Front Panel tab, you can configure the corresponding button on the MLC front panel. - Page 56 Button flashing — The Flash sub-tab lets you add a flash period with a duration of 1 to 120 seconds to the button. You can also specify whether the button flashes rapidly or slowly during this delay period. During the flashing period, all front panel buttons are disabled and do not respond to pressing.
- Page 57 If you selected the Display (RS-232) port and want to keep the auto-filled commands, you need to add commands only to the last four buttons (by default configured as input selection buttons and labeled PC, Video, Laptop, and Mute). If you have selected the IR or Serial port, or if no power or volume commands are available with your driver, you need to configure all of the buttons.
- Page 58 Removing Commands To remove a command from a button: In the current command display field, click to highlight the command that you want to remove. Click the Remove button above the current command field. Reordering Commands When a button has multiple commands assigned to it, you can specify the order in which the commands are performed, as follows: In the current command display field, select the command that you want to move.
- Page 59 Single switch — Silver The button functions independently of all other buttons. A single press issues a single command. Single power — Gold and orange In Single Power mode, the button toggles between issuing a power on and a power off command.
- Page 60 Figure 54. Button Mode Menu on the Front Panel Tab Other button settings The Front Panel tab also provides the following settings for the buttons. Refer to the MLC 62 configuration software help file for detailed procedures for changing these settings.

Page 62: Configuring The Digital Input Port
Configuring the Digital Input Port The Digital Input port on the MLC 62 rear panel lets you connect a switch or sensor to control other devices that are connected to the MLC serial, IR, and relay ports. On the Digital Input tab, you can assign commands to the high and low states of the Digital Input port. - Page 63 Time delays — The Time Delay sub-tab lets you insert a delay of a specified number of seconds between functions when multiple commands have been assigned to the port. You can set the amount of seconds that the MLC waits after issuing a command before it issues the next one.
- Page 64 To add commands to the Digital Input port: Connect a switch or sensor to the Digital Input port. See “Wiring the Digital Input Port” in the “Features, Installation, and Operation” section for more information about connecting to this port. On the MLC 62 window, select the Digital Input tab. Select the digital input mode from the drop-down menu at the top of the Digital Input tab.
- Page 65 Locking the front panel from the Digital Input port To lock and unlock the MLC front panel using the MLC 62 configuration software, modify the current configuration by adding Enable Front Panel and Disable Front Panel actions to the Digital Input port. For this method, a switch or sensor must be connected to the Digital Input port.

Advanced Configuration Tab Selecting display power settings In the Display Power Settings section of the Advanced Configuration tab, you can specify certain parameters for powering your display device on and off. -
Page 67: Configuring Using Ir Learning
Specifying the volume table resolution If the display device connected to your MLC 62 has a volume table in its driver, the display volume is increased or decreased by increments specified in the volume table each time a Volume button is pressed or pressed and held. You can configure the MLC to skip specified volume increments, essentially reducing the number of steps in the volume table, when the MLC buttons are pressed or held. - Page 68 Figure 59. “Select one of the starting options” Screen Depending on your selection, complete either of the following procedures. Creating a new IR driver Follow these steps if you want to create a new driver for your display device: On the “Select one of the starting options” screen, select the Create a new IR driver radio button, then click Next.
