The Remote Button / Keyboard commands are used when the video output of the MS300
system is displayed on a TV or large screen projector and it is desired to directly select
the MS300 control functions through an external control system.
The up, down, left, right, and select functions can be used to navigate objects on the
screen and select them. The active MS300 control function is highlighted and the
selection cursor is moved over it.
Various other commands are used to mimic the operation of the remote control. Note
that the command response will be "OK" as long as the key code is a valid one, even
though the system may ignore the key if the system is in a mode where the key would not
normally be processed.
