CTL101 Operation Manual - V1.3 03/22/02 ©2002 - INLINE, Inc.
Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
The CTL101 interface converts contact closures and infrared (IR) signals to RS-232, RS-422 or
RS-485 serial commands. The unit allows complete systems integration and system control via a
single computer workstation, contact closure and / or infrared remote. The CTL101 can also be
used to remotely control a VCR, DVD, INLINE unit or any other IR receiver equipped device by
passing along IR remote signals.
PRODUCT FEATURES
•
Three Command Sources - Commands can come directly from the host computer. Prepro-
grammed commands can be sent by using an IR remote control or via any of the 16 contact
closure ports.
•
Infrared Remote Control - provides one touch operation of programmed system functions
and allows the presenter to move freely around the room.
•
Remote Operation - The CTL101 allows operators to connect a local IR emitter directly to
control equipment (that is IR receiver equipped) and transmit remote signals from over 1000
feet away.
•
Serial Input and Output Ports - allow the CTL101 to pass along commands from a compu-
ter or other control system to the controlled equipment.
•
On Screen Display Menus - are provided by the CTL101 for the control computer monitor.
•
Easy Setup - A Terminal Emulation Program is the only software necessary to set up the
CTL101…no special software is required!
•
Versatile Mounting Capability - The CTL101 can be placed / mounted in a variety of loca-
tions or fits neatly in a 1U rack space (when mounted in a standard 19" equipment rack).
•
Optional Equipment:
CTL120-1 IR Remote Control - sends infrared commands to the CTL101. This hand-
held generic unit can be customized with labels to match specific installation
requirements.
CTL120-2 IR Remote Control with Overlay - is the same remote with an overlay that
specifies which buttons control the IN1402 / IN1403 / IN1404 Video Scalers, IN3600
Series Switchers and IN31608 Matrix. A diagram outlining the location and function of
each button can be found on pages 27 - 29. Complete operating / programming
instructions are provided in the CTL120 Operations Manual.
CTL130 IR Emitter - acts as a signal transponder in that it allows operators to control
video equipment that may be out of the IR remote’s line-of-sight (i.e. rack-mounted
equipment, devices located in another room, etc.).
CTL131DB / CTL131DW IR Sensor - is an IR sensor (housed in a double size A/V
connector module) that can be mounted in a remote location and relay control signals up
to 1000 feet (available in black or white).
