CT5 as well as advanced control of DVD players, CDI players, and Laser Disc
Players. Also, basic room control is provided such as Power On/Off, Volume
Up/Down, etc. When using the CT5 remote control, the device required to receive
the infrared codes transmitted by the remote control is any of the AMX Television
Manager ™ family of devices. In the case of one destination that contains multiple
TMs, all devices should be defined as existing within the destination on the
Destinations tab (see section 4.1.3). Any TM can pick up the PUSH and
RELEASE from the CT5 because all of the TMs defined within the room will act as
a unit. This means that, if a user toggles power and the room contains five display
devices, only one TM may recognize the command and yet all display device power
states will be toggled in unison.
10.1.2. The CT5 may operate at two frequencies: 38 KHz and 455 KHz. If you
experience problems with interference while using the CT5, ensure that the remote
control is set to 455 KHz. See the AMX documentation for more information
regarding this.
10.1.3. End users may be in one of two control states while using the CT5: Event Control
Mode and Local Mode. The means of toggling between modes is the button
labeled “LOCAL”.
10.1.3.1. Event Control Mode – when in this mode, the user may control a media
device that is active in a scheduled event. In this case, the keypad may be
used for such functions as DVD or LDP chapter/frame search and menu
navigation. More information about controlling specific source types is
available in section 10.1.11. When in Source Control mode, the two buttons
on the right side of the remote control labeled “Source” (one with an up arrow
and the other with a down arrow) will control “Sourcing” through multiple
events. I.e., if two or more events are active to the destination and the user is
in Source Control Mode, pressing [Source Up] or [Source Down] will launch
the next (or previous) event in the list. When a user “Sources” to another
event, the display device(s) within the room are tuned accordingly and the
user is “connected” to the source that is active in the event that has been
“Sourced” to. If only one event is active to a Destination and the user presses
[Source Up/Down] while in Source Control Mode, no action will be taken by
Phoenix.
10.1.3.2. Local Mode – when in this mode, the numeric keypad and the [Source
Up/Down] buttons apply to local room functions. The user may tune directly
to any channel or crosspoint that exists within the Channel Ring for the
Distribution Group that the room is connected to (see section 4.5.4 for more
information regarding the Channel Ring, also known as the “Surf Ring” and
“Direct Pass Channels”). If a user presses [Source Up/Down] while in Local
Mode, the Destination will be tuned to the next (or previous) channel in the
Channel Ring. If the user tunes directly to a channel (by entering the digits
and pressing “Enter”), the destination will be tuned directly to the channel but
only if it is included within the Channel Ring. If a user attempts to tune to a
channel that is not defined within the Channel Ring, Phoenix will ignore the
request.
10.1.4. The [Alt] button is used for a variety of purposes such as toggling of tape
counters, changing sides on an LDP, and other advanced capabilities. The various
functions available via the [Alt] button are described throughout the remainder of
this section.
