About Show Ranges
If using multiple external show selection devices and you want each device to trigger a different
range of shows, you must manually set the Show Range switch on each device accordingly.
For example, if you want your first of two Controller Keypads to control shows 1-8, you leave
the Show Range switch on its default setting (0). Then, to assign the second Controller Keypad
to control shows 9-16, you dial the Show Range switch to the corresponding setting (see the
Controller Keypad Product Guide for details).
Similarly, you can use the iPlayer 3 setup menu to assign show range offsets to serial port 1 and
serial port 2. For example, if you assign a base trigger of 8 to serial port 1, and a user selects
button 1 on a Controller Keypad connected to that serial port, iPlayer 3 will trigger show
number 9 (8 + 1).
Example 6: Assigning a Base Trigger of 8 to Serial Port 1
