Format of IR Files For Audio Sources
Design XPress directly supports three types of audio sources using IR: tuners, satellite receivers,
and CD players/changers. AMX has a library of thousands of IR files for equipment. Many of the
files have been captured to a standard template. Design XPress uses this template for its IR codes.
In some cases the IR file for new equipment may not have been captured or is not available for
download from the AMX website. Or perhaps the IR file is available on the web but one or two
codes were not captured in the right channels. In these cases it may be necessary for the installer to
capture the IR codes or, at least, modify the IR file.
When capturing or making changes the installer needs to know in which channel each IR code
should reside. The following tables define the IR channels required by Design XPress for each
equipment type. Only those channels used by Design XPress are represented in these tables. If the
installer needs to capture an IR remote, or make changes to an IR file, the IR functions must be
captured in the correct channels to work properly with Design XPress.
The Changer Size is required for source types CD Changer and CD/DVD.
