REMOTE CONTROL ID FUNCTION
REMOTE CONTROL ID
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 specifi c
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 can then
be used to operate the monitor having that specifi c 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.
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 MULTI DISPLAY menu in the
OSD (See page 39).
Point the remote control towards 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 operate a monitor that has a specifi c MONITOR ID number assigned to it.
1. Set the MONITOR ID number for the monitor (See page 39). The MONITOR ID number can range from 1-100.
This MONITOR ID number allows the remote control to operate this specifi c 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. Choose "0" to simultaneously
control all monitors in range.
3. Point the remote control towards 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 CONTROLID is "0", then all monitors in range will show their respective 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.
NOTE: The GROUP ID cannot be specifi ed via the remote control.
