Set Up IR-Signal Generation to
Control Third-Party Devices
Your system may contain third-party products that ship
with IR (infrared) remote controls. To provide a way for
Media Controller to control a device that only recognizes
IR commands, complete the following setup.
1. Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the 8 IR
stick-on emitters provided into an IR Out port on the
Media Controller.
2. Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR receiver on
the media player, TV, or other target device to
transmit IR signals from the Media Controller to the
target.
You can now use the System Remote Control to control
the connected IR-controlled device.
Use Video Sense Loop to
Add On/Off Sensing
If you need to add On/Off sensing capabilities to a device
(such as a TV or DVD player), connect one of the device’s
composite Video Out ports to a Media Controller Video
Sense Loop In port. Then use the companion Video
Sense Loop Out port for the device’s video out as needed.
Connect AV Devices to One Another
1. Connect Audio components to one another. For
example:
` If you connected a Control4 Audio Matrix Switch
(or a third-party audio switch) to Media
Controller, then connect all amplifiers and other
A/V equipment to the audio switch.
` If you connected a Control4 Multi Channel
Amplifier (or a third-party amplifier) to Media
Controller, then connect all applicable speakers
to the amp.
