MSC-400 System Narrow Band RF Remotes Trigger Automation of RS-232, IR and Relay Controlled Components and Systems MSC-400 Master System Controller High performance audio video systems can include IR (infrared controlled devices such as Satellite and Cable set top boxes, DVD players etc.), RS-232 (serial controlled devices such as projectors, surround sound receivers and media servers), and Relay and Voltage controlled devices (such as lights, drapes, curtains and blinds).
MSC-400 System Control Capabilities Control up to 12 Devices via IR - Controls standard IR (Infrared) controlled audio video components. There are six IR-only outputs, and six IR or RS-232 outputs. Each can be individually adjusted and is compatible with rear panel IR inputs on components or can be connected to IR emitters (6 IR emitters are included with the MSC-400, additional emitters can be purchased six at a time).
Instead of a simple macro, the MSC-400 intelligently tests each component to see whether it is on or off, then sends the exact commands needed to reconfigure the system. As a result, the system responds perfectly to the user, as if an invisible engineer was concealed in the system cabinet, operating the system for them.

MSC-400 System Quick Reference Guide MSC-400 Master System Controller Rear Panel IR and RS232 Outputs For RS-232: Connect to Outputs 7-12 only. Order either RS232M (Male connector for component) or RS232F (Female connector for component). No RS232 cables are included with the MSC-400. For IR: Outputs 1-6 are IR only. Outputs 7-12 can be used for either RS232 or IR. Standard emitters can be used on 1-6, sleeved emitters should be used for Outputs 7-12.
