Page 14: Tview Pro Av 1600 Controls And Adjustments
TView Pro AV models have three methods of control: front panel control, RS-232/422 and IR remote control. All methods are interchangeable and simultaneously active (i. e. a front panel button push can be followed by an IR remote control command). - Page 15 3.1.5 Terminate VGA (Toggle) This control connects the TView Pro AV1600's 75 Ohm termination resistors onto the computer's RGB output lines. Select “TERMINATED” unless you are using the TView Pro AV 1600 with a pass through monitor cable (such as a HyperCable-PC, intended for use with the Pro AV CP product line).
- Page 16 3.1.15 IR Remote Disable (Toggle) (Not Available from IR remote mouse) This control disables the operation of the IR remote mouse. Select “IR ON” to enable the operation of the remote mouse. Select “IR OFF” to disable the operation of the IR Remote Mouse and prevent IR conflicts. 3.1.16 Colorbar Pattern Enable (Toggle) (Not available from the IR Remote Mouse) This control enables the Colorbar pattern to be displayed at the television output.
- Page 17 3.1.23 Recall Configuration (Multiple) (Not available from IR remote mouse) Using the Recall Configuration feature, the user can instantly recall any previously saved Save Set. The up or down arrow keys select from previously configured Save Sets. Recall Configuration is not available from RS-232/422 Control.

Page 21: Tview Pro Av 1600 Control Methods
4 TView Pro AV 1600 Control Methods TView Pro AV 1600 models can be controlled in one of 3 different ways: Front Panel, RS-232/422, or InfraRed Remote Control. The following sections detail the use of each of these control mechanisms. In all cases, the state of a particular function of the Pro AV 1600 is indicated on the TView Pro AV 1600's Front Panel LED readout. -
Page 22: Remote Control
The hand held IR remote control enables the user to access many of the functions of the TView Pro AV 1600. Since the IR unit is intended to be used in presentation situations, certain functions of the TView Pro AV1600 may only be accessed via the Front Panel or via RS-232/422. - Page 23 Reset Size/Position Flicker Filter Freeze Frame UnderScan Figure 4: Remote Control Interface TView Pro AV 1600 User's Manual Rev 1.02...
- Page 24 4.3.1 Configuring the TView Pro AV for RS-232 or RS-422 Jumper JP3 on the TView Pro AV 1600's Control Interface board selects RS-232 or RS-422. Depending on the configuration of this jumper, the DB-9 communications connector located on the rear panel of the TView Pro AV 1600 will accept either RS-232 or RS-422.
- Page 25 4.3.2 Connecting the TView Pro AV 1600 to communications devices Slightly different connections schemes are required for RS-232 and RS-422 operation. Figure 6 indicates the recommended connections from a DB-9 connector for RS-232 operation. Depending on the way that the controlling port is programmed, other connections may work as well. The TView Pro AV 1600 has no way of handling the RTS/CTS and DSR/DCD signals.
- Page 26 4.3.3 Selecting the TView Pro AV 1600's address In an RS-422, there may be as many as 8 TView Pro AV 1600s operating within a system. In order to provide a control mechanism to differentiate each TView Pro AV 1600, the user must program each TView Pro AV 1600's address using the Front Panel.
- Page 27 range for each register. Each command ( i. e. Register Number Byte, followed by Value Byte) must be concluded with a Carriage Return. The Value Byte provides “absolute information” if the parameter in question is a Toggle or Multiple Choice Item. If the parameter in question is a range item, the Value Byte provides decrementing the existing value of that parameter by on count.
- Page 28 For example, the following byte sequences perform the indicated functions: Output Set to PAL NTSC/PAL register Decrement Horizontal Size Horizontal Size Delay time between each transmitted character of a command does not matter. Each command will not be completed until the Carriage Return is received. If incorrect register numbers are given at the start of any command (i. e. byte with a register value greater than 23), the TView Pro AV 1600 will ignore that byte.
