Volume control
[Mute_On_fb], [Vol_Level] The module passes this feedback to the
Kaleidescape App for iPad when not configured
with a controller zone name so that the user can
see the current volume level and mute state.
Keyboard/Keypad
Keyboard input is used for filtering movie or music lists, jumping to a specific place
in the list, for naming favorite scenes and for naming mix albums. If any non-
numeric (a-z) key is sent to the OSD when in the Movie or Music List view, the OSD
jumps to the item that begins with that letter in the currently sorted column.
Numeric keys start the passcode entry dialog.
To filter the movie or music list, the [Filter_List] command must be sent first.
Once given, all keyboard keys (a-z, 0-9) are can be used for the filter. If using the
[Filter_Keyboard_Clock] input and [Keyboard_Active] output, the
[Filter_List] command is automatically issued at the appropriate time.
[Backspace] The Backspace key for a keyboard or keypad.
[Enter] The Enter or Select key for a keyboard or keypad.
[Keypad_0] … [Keypad_9] Sends this digit to the OSD. Keypad input (0-9) is
solicited from various functions such as
[Start_Chapter_Entry], passcode entry and
UPC entry. Entering unsolicited keypad input is
interpreted as passcode entry. Various entry
modes require the [Select] input to be used as
an Enter key.
[Keyboard_A] … [Keyboard_Z]
Sends this character to the OSD.
[Keyboard_space], [Keyboard_period],
[Keyboard_comma], [Keyboard_apostrophe],
[Keyboard_hyphen]
Sends this character to the OSD.
[Other_Key_Inputs$] If other keyboard characters are required, create
a Serial I/O (SIO) symbol and populate the SIO
with the desired keys. Each key should only send
a single character at a time. Do not use the
Crestron keyboard symbol with this input.
Screen masking
[Calibrate_Masking] Causes the OSD to change to the Calibrate Masking
screen. This screen is used to calibrate
