* Note: values for all four timing parameters constitute 10ths of seconds.
Therefore, to set a value to 5 seconds, you would enter the value of 50. If you
enter only the number 5 then you will be setting the corresponding timing
parameter to ½ second.
4.1.3.5. Define the Channel Type
The hundreds of different Display Manager makes and models require
different methods to tune properly. If the distribution network that will be
employed to feed content to the display device is baseband, or if the tuner is
to be controlled via RS-232 or TCP/IP, then disregard this step. Otherwise, if
the distribution network employs a broadband topology, you must define the
means by which the associated display device should be tuned. Phoenix
defaults to [Standard (CH)] which behaves as follows (from AMX
documentation):
”Generates IR digit pulses to select a television channel number. Channels 1-
99 pulse as two digits. Channels 100 and greater, the one-hundredth digit
pulses as 127. If IR function 21 (enter) exists, it follows the IR digit pulses.
CTON sets the pulse length for each digit and CTOF sets the time between
each digit or any after-pulse.”
The display device that you are configuring may not respond properly to the
Standard channel mode, in which case you’ll need to select Extended
Channel mode, then define the specific XCH mode that will control the display
manager. The following excerpt from the Television Manager technical
document, authored by AMX Corp., explains the different modes:
Mode 0: [x][x]<x><enter>
Mode 1: <x><x><x><enter>
Mode 2: <x><x><x>
Mode 3: [[100][100]….]<x><x>
4.1.3.6. Select the Control Logic that will drive the display device that the Television
Manager is controlling. The Control Logic is the mechanism and associated
logic that will be used to communicate with the display device. If the display
device to which the TM is connected is to be controlled using IR then select
the default Control Logic which is labeled, “Generic Display Device (IR).”
Otherwise, select the Control Logic that corresponds to your display device. If
the display device that exists within the room requires a special control
mechanism and is not listed as having a Control Logic then contact RealmCtrl
to request inclusion of a new Control Logic authored to control the display
device specifically. Note that a new Control Logic is typically required only for
those devices that require RS-232 or TCP/IP control mechanisms, although
some IR controlled display devices do require some special handling as well.
4.1.4. Set the [Allow control via web client] checkbox. If this checkbox is selected then
users will be able to control the room, and any events scheduled to the room, via
the web client. Otherwise, it will not be selectable via the web client.
4.1.4.1. When the [Allow control via web client] option is checked, another button
labeled [Web Client Settings] may be enabled. If this button is disabled then
your facility does not include the “Secure Web Client” add-on, which is a
capability that is enabled by the NetLinx token that was purchased for your
facility. If the button is disabled then move on to section 4.1.5. Otherwise,
