Installation guide
Programming Crestron Controllers for a Kaleidescape System
Page 53
In this installation example, all Control Protocol Device ID parameters are correctly
set to the default CPDID None(01d ) because the example does not use any
command routing.
Indicating System Readiness
A Kaleidescape system will automatically enter idle mode when it is not being
used. The digital signals shown in the following figure can be used to track the
system readiness state and provide feedback on a touch panel when the
Kaleidescape system is not ready or becoming ready.
Figure 43: System Readiness
Because system readiness is a system state, not a player state, all the players in the
system will indicate the same state. Even though the OSD, SATP, Music
Collections, and Music Presets module each have system readiness outputs, only
the signals from one module per system need to be defined.
The [[{{RX$}}]] and [[{{Connect-F}}]] inputs on the music collection module are
optional and do not need to be connected if the system readiness outputs on the
music collections module are not going to be used.
For example, if there is an SATP module connected to a player on the same system
as a music collection module, the System_Becoming_Ready and
System_Not_Ready outputs from the SATP module can be connected to a touch
panel to display text. The [[{{RX$}}]] and [[{{Connect-F}}]] inputs and the system
readiness outputs on the Music Collections module do not need to be connected.
Screen masking and anamorphic lenses
Use the following steps to include a screen masking system in the Theater room.
1. Open the OSD module for the Theater and scroll to the bottom.
2. Set Using a Controlled Mask, to Yes [1d].
Figure 44: Using a Controlled Mask option
The player is now using the screen mask which places pop-up messages
(such as the Paused wedge that appears in the upper right corner of the
display) in the visible screen area.
