Operation
Overview
The Imperial is designed to be controlled from a third party control
system, either via RS232 or IR. The buttons on the front panel
allow the control of power and status feedback, however matrix
control must be performed from external sources.
Using the front panel
The Imperial matrix switch's front panel uses NeoTouch™
technology. This is different from many other front panels you
have seen with 'membrane' or 'dome' type buttons. The
NeoTouch™ panel senses a human finger touching the acrylic
panel without any moving parts. For you, the user, this means that
you need not press hard to activate a button, a light tap will do.
Powering the Imperial matrix switch on and off is accomplished by
pressing the power button. To prevent accidental power offs, two
button presses are required to shut down the matrix.
Controlling from an IR remote control
Controlling the matrix switch using IR follows the basic sequence
of:
#, Out, # – Standard sequence for switching. The Imperial has
been optimized for a short command sequence using only 3 IR
codes.
The NeoPro IR reference remote does not label numeric buttons
10-12. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of those buttons.
Party Mode Shortcut:

mode, use the select key followed by the desired input:
