Controller (MLC) Config
The Controller (MLC) Config screen, shown below, is the most important part of the
MediaLink Control Program. This is where you configure the controller and the
control modules, and initiate IR learning.
A
green
dot in the middle of a button indicates that RS-232 codes have been
associated with that button. A
red
dot indicates that IR codes are associated with/
learned for that button. If the button is grey or black, there is no code stored in that
button’s memory slot.
We recommend using RS-232 for communicating with a display device.
The check boxes above/below the input selection button menus indicate whether
the button is part of the switching rotation (checked, pressing the button causes
that input channel to be selected) or not (unchecked, pressing the button does not
cause an input switch). A button’s Switch box should be unchecked if that button
will be used for something other than selecting an input – issuing special function
commands such as auto image or zoom, for example.
To see if a relay is associated with a button, select the button, and look at the relay
area in the lower right of the screen: the box for a given relay will be checked if it is
associated with that button. Each relay can only be associated with one input or
display button at a time, though two or three relays can be associated with the
same button. Relays cannot be tied to buttons in secondary mode.
Load Extron Driver
This option lets you download a control file (library) of Extron-created projector
commands that are specific to a particular projector. Pre-configured control files
(drivers) should be used whenever possible. If no driver is available for the display
you want to control, it is possible to create your own via IR learning.
Use Default Config
This feature lets you select and use the MLC default configuration
for that projector. See the MediaLink Help program for details.
