Set Up Ir Emitters; Use Video Sense Loops - Control 4 Media Controller Installation And User Manual

Set Up IR Emitters

Your system might contain third-party products that are
controlled with IR commands (usually through remote
controls). To provide a way for the Media Controller to control
a device that only recognizes IR commands, complete the
following setup.
1.
Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the 8 IR
stick-on emitters provided into an IR Out port on the
Media Controller.
2.
Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR receiver on
the media player, TV, or other target device to
transmit IR signals from the Media Controller to the
target.

Use Video Sense Loops

Video sensing can enhance the ability to sense the power
state of a device, such as whether the device is "on" or "off."
If you need to add video signal sensing capabilities for a video
device (such as a TV, VCR, DVD player, etc.), connect one of
the device's composite Video Out ports to a Media Controller
Video Sense In port. Then, use the companion Video Sense
Out port (where available) for the device's video out as
needed.
For Video Sense only (no loop-through), connect a device's
Composite Video Out port to one of the two Video Sense In
ports.
