This command associates an
MLC input button with a specifi c
input on a connnected switcher.
X?
is the actual input channel
(including inputs on a slaved
switcher) to select when button
Y?
is pressed. The values for
these variables are shown at left.
Default: X? = Y?
00 = input 0
01 = input 1
02 = input 2

Map input 6 (an input on a
slaved switcher) to the MLC’s
input button 4. When button
4 is pressed, the A/V system
switches to input 6, and any
instructions (DVD or VCR
control commands, for example)
associated with input button 4
on the MLC are executed.

This command tells the MLC to
repeat a specifi c button’s press
commands at a fi xed interval (a
set frequency).
X?
= the number of the button/
switch (1 - 128). See the
diagrams on pages 5-36 and
5-37.
Y?
is the repeat interval: 0 to
65535, in 20 ms steps.
1 = 20 ms, 2 = 40 ms, 3 = 60 ms,...
65535 = 1,310,700 ms = 21.845
minutes.
If
Y?
= 0, the MLC stops
repeating the selected button’s
commands.
Example:
9*850*45#
RptRate*9*850
]
The commands associated
with the input 1 button press
are executed every 850x20 ms
(= 17,000 ms = 17 seconds) until
the repeat rate for that button is
set to 0 (“cleared”).

The button repeat SIS command (
X?
*
Y?
*45 #) must be entered each time you want to have a button press trigger
repeated command releases. Also, only one button at a time can be set to repeat: multiple buttons can not be in repeat
mode simultaneously.
N
The Repeat Rate... feature found in Global Confi gurator is based on this command. However, through scripting the
MLC sets the repeat mode to on in response to a specifi c button press, and it sets the repeat mode to 0 when the button
is released or input is no longer selected.
