PRODUCT FEATURES
• System Control of up to twelve devices (twenty two in a Master/Slave System)
• Power management of up to six devices (twelve in a Master/Slave System)
• MSC-400 stores and outputs all system commands and macros eliminating partially executed macros
• MSC-400 Outputs IR and RS232 commands
• Senses Composite Video and AC or DC voltage for device status
• Six Configurable Video or Voltage Sensor inputs
• Six dedicated IR Output Ports (twelve in a Master/Slave System)
• Six configurable IR or RS232 output Ports (ten in a Master/Slave System)
• Rear panel USB Port allows control of a Windows Media Center PC
• Remotes can be programmed to emulate Media Center Keyboard for alpha search
• IR input for system control via properly programmed and compatible IR remotes and keypads
• Narrow-band RFX-250 Sensor filters out interference from remote signals for reliable communication
and control
• Up to three RFX-250 Sensors can be connected for extended RF Remote range in large systems
• RF Output allows expansion to a second MSC-400 for control of up to 22 devices or connection to a
MRF Series Base Station for control of IR devices located away from the MSC-400
• Two internal relays provide additional integration and control of screens, lifts, drapes, amplifiers, etc.
• Relays are programmable for Paired Commands, (Normally Open or Normally Closed), Momentary
(Push and Hold) or Timed operation
• 12 volt ‘convenience’ output provides power supply to internal relays for devices that require voltage
for activation
• Programmed with Complete Control Suite
• Programmable to output single IR or RS232 commands
• Programmable to output Smart Macros of IR and/or RS232 and Relay Commands
• Programmable for ‘conditional’ IF/ELSE Smart Macros and Action Variables to output specific
commands for specific system settings or user preference
• Programmable for Master System ON/OFF macros
• Programmable for specific source select settings
• Compatible remotes can be programmed with System Status Messages to let the user know when
the MSC-400 is executing Smart Macros and to wait for the macro to execute
