IRIS IR/Serial Data Capture Device

Overview

As a stand-alone self-contained unit, the IRIS (FG5448) captures IR or wired function signals

from a hand controller and instantly captures and verifies the control functions, where they

are transmitted to a PC operating the IRLIB program. Designed with versatility in mind, the

IRIS captures IR functions from hand controllers for a wide variety of audiovisual equipment

such as monitors, VCRs, TVs, and CD players..

After IR functions are captured with the IRIS unit, the functions are sent to a PC running the

IREdit software program. The IREdit software program creates HC function files that are

downloaded to the Central Controller. For step-by-step instructions on how to use the IREdit

software program, refer to the IREdit instruction manual.

You can also the IR Capture and Management tool in AMX’s VisualArchitect software

application to capture and manage IR functions via the IRIS. Refer to the VisualArchitect

Instruction Manual and online help for details.

Specifications

Capturing HC Functions

The two modes you can use to capture HC functions are default and special function. You

use default mode, which is automatically set when you connect power to the IRIS unit, to

capture the majority of HC functions.

The table below shows the IRIS unit settings for default mode:

Before capturing HC functions, make sure the baud rate in the IRIS unit is set properly, and

connected to a PC running the IREdit software application.

Note: All settings are returned to their default state when power is removed from the unit.

Refer to the IREdit instruction manual for information on to storing captured HC functions.

Capturing HC functions in default mode

1. Make a list of the name and sequence of the HC functions you want to capture. The

standard order for HC functions is listed in the HC IR Functions table.

2. Connect the RS-232 cable to the DB-9 connector on the IRIS unit and the RS-232 port

on your PC, as shown in the Cables and Adapters section.

3. Set the baud rate in the IRIS unit to match the PC baud rate (refer to the Baud Rate

Settings table).

4. Connect the 12

VDC or 12 VAC power supply to the 12 VDC connector on the IRIS unit.

The

READY LED lights and 01 appears in the display.

5. Holding the HC device approximately 3-inches away from the

IR capture window, press

and hold the first key on the HC to capture the first function.

The

SIGNAL LED will start blinking.

6. Release the HC key as soon as the

READY LED goes off.

The [ ] briefly appears in the display to indicate the HC function is captured. Then, 01

appears and the

READY and VERIFY LEDs light. The LED will not light if P4 mode is

active; refer to the Display Characters and P Modes table for details.

7. Holding the HC device approximately 3-inches away from the

IR capture window, press

and hold the same key on the HC device again to verify the

IR function was captured

correctly by the IRIS unit.

• If the HC function is captured correctly, a pair of [ ] (brackets) will briefly flash in the dis-

play. The

VERIFY LED goes off, 01 appears in the display, and the SEND pushbutton's

LED lights.

• If an Er message appears in the display, repeat steps 3 and 5. Otherwise, go to step 6.

8. Press the

SEND pushbutton to send the captured HC function to the PC running the

IREdit software program.

9. Repeat steps 3 through 6 to capture all the HC functions on your list.

Capturing HC functions in SP mode

If you cannot capture an HC function in default mode, set the IRIS unit to special function

(SP) mode:

1. Press and release the

UP and SEND pushbuttons at the same time. The message SP

briefly appears in the display and the

UP LED lights. The IRIS unit is now in SP mode.

2. Perform the Capturing HC functions in default mode steps 3 through 6 four times, or

until the

SEND LED lights, to capture the HC function. Then, go to the next step.

3. Simultaneously press and release the

UP and SEND pushbuttons to reset the IRIS unit

to default mode. The message nO (normal operation) briefly appears in the display to

indicate default mode is active.

Capturing difficult HC functions using P3-P8 modes

Set the IRIS unit to the P3-P8 modes if you cannot capture an HC function in default or SP

mode, The P3 and P4 modes are special settings to capture HC functions:

1. Simultaneously press and release the

UP, DOWN, and SEND pushbuttons. The message

P1 appears in the display. The IRIS unit is now in P mode.

2. Use the

UP or DOWN pushbutton to select the appropriate P modes according to the

descriptions in the following table.
