Programming Crestron Controllers for a Kaleidescape System

Kaleidescape modules
Kaleidescape provides five different types of control modules:
 OSD module (Onscreen display control)
 SATP module (Standalone touch panel control)
 Keypad Presets module
 Keypad Music Collections module
 Controller Zone Name module
All modules can use either RS-232 or TCP/IP for control. (See Appendix B: RS-232
Port Configuration and Cable Pinout on page 65 for RS-232 pinout.) Always
download the latest versions of the modules before beginning a project or revising
an existing program.
OSD, SATP, and Keypad Presets modules each contain a set of transports: PLAY,
STOP, PAUSE, FAST FORWARD, REWIND, NEXT, and PREVIOUS.
These commands behave differently with the SATP and Keypad Presets module
than with the OSD module. For example, in the OSD module, the STOP input clears
the screen saver if running, clears a pop-up if showing, or stops music when Now
Playing is shown on the active screen. With the SATP or Keypad Presets modules,
the STOP input always stops the music no matter what is shown on the OSD.
Basically, transport commands in the OSD module control the OSD, which then
controls movies and music. Transport commands in the SATP and Keypad Presets
modules only control the music currently playing.
OSD module (Onscreen display control)
The Kaleidescape OSD module works with either the OSD Video or OSD No Video
template and is used to control a Kaleidescape movie zone. Kaleidescape
recommends using a touch panel with video for the best user experience. For more
information on the inputs, outputs, and parameters of the OSD module, see
Appendix C: OSD Module v8.4.0 Parameters and I/O on page 66.
SATP module (Standalone touch panel control)
The Kaleidescape SATP module provides standalone touch panel control when a
display is not visible or the user wants to play music without turning one on. In
these cases, the touch panel provides a standalone interface for a music zone.
When used with a zone that supports both movies and music (for example, the
single zone from an M500 Player) this module does not affect the OSD and
provides a completely independent method for controlling the zone. The SATP
module is designed to work with the SATP template.
The Kaleidescape SATP module does not control movie selection or playback. This
module cannot be used with players that do not support music playback. For more
