Front Panel Features and Basic Operation
PRELIMINARY
Projector Control
The MLC can control a projector or other display device by using IR or RS-232
control. The MLC must be configured for projector control in one of the following
ways before it will send commands to the projector:
• An IR or an RS-232 driver file can be installed from a disk or downloaded from
the Extron Web site into the MLC.
• RS-232 command strings can be entered directly from a host computer using the
supplied Windows-based software.
• IR commands can be entered directly from an IR remote control through IR
learning to create a driver that the MLC can use. IR learning is convenient for
installing new or updated commands into the MLC in the field.
See chapter 4 and the MLC 226/104 Configuration Program software for details on
setting up the MLC and for downloading, programming, or learning projector
control commands.
Front Panel Features and Operation
Many features must be set up in order for the MLC to function. See chapter 4,
“Software- and Web Page-based Setup and Control”, for information about the
MLC 226/104 Configuration Program, which you must use to set up most
features of the MLC.
