Page 7: Max-Cse Video Encoder
MAX-CSE Video Encoder Overview The MAX-CSE (Commercial Solutions Encoder) allows audio and video signals to be delivered in real- time across any IP network for broadcast to a virtually limitless number of destinations – classrooms, boardrooms, training facilities, retail store branches, and other commercial settings. The MAX-CSE also provides real-time encoding of both analog audio or video content into both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 formats for delivery across these same IP networks directly to a MAX-CSD10 Decoder, Modero VG- Series Touch Panel, or computer (playback is enabled via a third-party streaming MPEG player). -

NetLinx Programming IR / Serial Ports Channels IR / Serial Ports Channels 00001 - 00229 IR commands. 00229 - 00253 May be used for system call feedback. 00254 Power Fail. (Used with the 'PON' and 'POF' commands). 00255 Power status. (Shadows I/O Link channel status). IR/Serial Port (Port 3) Commands The IR port is located at Port 3 in NetLinx D:P:S nomenclature. - Page 101 IR/Serial Send_Commands (Cont.) Command Halt and Clear all active or buffered IR commands, and then send a single IR pulse. CTOF Set the duration of the Off time (no signal) between IR pulses for channel and IR function transmissions. CTON Set the total time of IR pulses transmitted and is stored in non-volatile memory.
- Page 102 NetLinx Programming IR/Serial Send_Commands (Cont.) Command IROFF Halt and Clear all active or buffered IR commands being output on the designated port. Disable previously active 'PON' (power on) or 'POF' (power off) command settings. Turn Off a device connected to an IR port based on the status of the corresponding I/O Link input.
