Summary of Contents for Anitech Systems Media Pro 4000

  • Page 1 First, the ‘Operation Guide’ presents an overview of procedures and capability. Second and third are setup instructions for the two models of handheld terminals that have been distributed by Anitech Systems, Inc.

  • Page 2: Menu Navigation

    ‘navigation’ keys. These keys are listed shortly below. THE “SHOW DISPLAY” A powerful feature of the Media Pro 4000 is that the show programmer can write ‘DISPLAY’ statements into the MPCL cues, and thereby put show status and other information onto the HMT for examination during show operation.
  • Page 3: Navigation Keys

    Rightward motion from any menu is with the ENTER key. From the ‘select stack’, ENTER always goes to the inspection level – information can be viewed, but no resource can be modified. At this inspection level, pressing ENTER will move to the ‘control’ level. This is the final level, and can only be entered if the password has been provided (more later).
  • Page 4 The password menu is at the control level of the SYSTEM select. The user enters the password directly, but it is not echoed to the HMT (the text of ‘Anitech Systems’ is echoed, instead, to obscure the vision of any observer). After putting in 1 to 15 characters, ENTER is pressed, and the top menu is presented again.
  • Page 5: Control Keys

    After a password has been entered, timers are started that cause the password to expire in one minute, except that this time is extended indefinitely as long as any keys on the keypad are used. The password will even survive forays to the show display. If the user wants the password cancelled immediately, this can be done by simply pressing ENTER at the password menu without entering any characters (or, enter a few characters that are NOT the password).

  • Page 7 If the ‘handheld’ terminal does not behave as outlined in the introduction, it may need to be set for the proper communications and operations parameters before it can be used in the Media Pro 4000 system. The terminal itself has a menu system that is used as follows for setup: 1) Press CTRL and release, then press SHIFT and release, then press SPACE and release.
  • Page 8 If the Two Technologies ‘handheld’ terminal does not behave as outlined in the introduction, it may need to be set for the proper communications and operations parameters before it can be used in the Media Pro 4000 system. The terminal itself has a menu system that is used as follows for setup: Press SHIFT and CTRL simultaneously.
  • Page 9 WIRING & INTERCONNECT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE HANDHELD MONITOR TERMINALS Some of our clients are using the rear-DIN HMT connections from the ICM for cabling to outlets in the show areas. Since the terminal operates at 19200 baud, it is important that the cable, routing, and interconnect do not adversely affect communications with the HMT.
