2G HD over IP Dealer Support Manual – Page 15

Distributed Resource Control - Imagine there is a TV and a Blu-Ray player at one end of the house and

the owner wants to watch/operate that from another room. You can teach this device the necessary

commands to control the TV, Blu-Ray Player, and perhaps 2 other sources in that remote location.

Taking advantage of the 2G RS232 Automation Matrix this device would allow the user to send discrete

IR control commands to the Blu-Ray, and could also control the TV.

Essentially you have got a "learning" universal remote control can work with any control system with

RS232 support that can be addressed from anywhere else. Control4, Crestron, AMX, RTI, URC, Savant,

etc. There will probably be a tangent market for the IR MANAGER for use in non HD over IP

installations. This device will be very simple to support with our MediaSwitcher software which can be

operated on PC, Linux, Mac, and portable devices such is iPhone and iPads.

 IR Manager Internal Memory Characteristics

 IR Manager has 4 memory blocks, which can store Short or Long IR commands. The default

value is Short Data (448Byte), which is enough for IR control of most consumer electronic

equipment. The Long Data (704 Byte) is provided for unique requirements. When the IR

command uses Short Data (448Byte), it can support 32 commands per block; when it is Long

Data, (704 Byte), it can support 16 commands per block

 IR Learning Mode and the Power LED

 When IR Manager executes the learning function, the Power LED will flash off, and on again

while waiting for the IR command to be received by the IR eye. You can use the Power the

 Power LED to see if the learning function is successful. The light will stay ON when the

command is accepted into memory. It will turn OFF if the command is not learned within the

allotted time.

 Using RS-232 to write IR commands to the IR Manager

 When the IR Manager Memory is successfully updated the Power LED will flash once, which

means the data is accepted; if the Power LED flashes 6 times this means the write to flash

memory has failed, most likely due to a data error.

 IR-1, IR-2, IR-3, IR-4 LED function:

 The LED will flash ON when the IR command is being sent successfully. If you try to send a

command from a memory block that does not contain a learned IR command the port's LED

and the Power LED will flash 6 times, which means this port has not learned any IR data for that

command. The IR-1, IR-2, IR-3, and IR-4 LED's can be disabled by removing the associated

jumpers on the IR Manager printed circuit board.
