MSC-400 SystemNarrow Band RF Remotes TriggerAutomation of RS-232,IR and RelayControlled Components and SystemsMSC-400 Master System ControllerHigh performance audio video systems can include IR (infrared controlleddevices such as Satellite and Cable set top boxes,DVD players etc.),RS-232 (serial controlled devices such as projectors,surround soundreceivers and media servers),and Relay and Voltage controlleddevices (such as lights,drapes,curtains and blinds).The MSC-400Master System Controller is designed to seamlessly automate allof these types of devices.Installation of the MSC-400 insures thatany future purchase can be successfully integrated regardlessof its control method.Variety of User Interfaces In the MSC-400 System,there are four compatible remotecontrols which can be programmed to interface with theMaster System Controller;the MX-3000,MX-950,TX-1000 and the MX-900.All have unique options for cus-tomization to any client’s tastes and needs, up to a uniquegraphical style for every room and every user.The Combination - Ultimate Reliability, Flexibility and PowerIn a system equipped with an MSC-400,the remote control inthe hands of the user has a very easy task compared to lessersystems.Instead of sending multi-step macros (each step vulner-able to a mistake in pointing or other accidental interference),theremote sends an instantaneous digital RF (Radio Frequency) commandto the MSC-400.This RF command is constructed with a unique errorcorrection algorithm for incredible RF range and reliability.Once the RF“trigger”command is received by the MSC-400,sophisticated sensors,control ports,vast memory and machine intelligence go to work.COMPLETECONTROLCOMPLETE
Control up to 12 Devices via IR - Controlsstandard IR (Infrared) controlled audio video components.There are six IR-only outputs, and six IR or RS-232 outputs. Eachcan be individually adjusted and is compatible with rear panelIR inputs on components or can be connected to IR emitters (6IR emitters are included with the MSC-400,additional emitterscan be purchased six at a time).On/Off Status of up to 6 Devices -There are six video or voltage sensor inputs totest whether a component is On or Off.Components like DVDplayers and VCRs output video when on,no video when off.Byinstalling a URC VID Video Sensor and connecting to theMSC-400,the MSC-400 will detect that the component is on oroff.Components like CATV set top boxes have a switched outlet.If a low voltage wall adapter (5-24 V AC or DC) isplugged into the components switched outlet and then connectedto a URC VS-100 Voltage Sensor, the MSC-400 can detectwhether the component is on or off.By combining the optionalVS-100 with products from other companies that detect light,current,RF etc.the MSC-400 can reliably test on off status ofalmost any kind of component.Control up to 6 Devices via RS-232 - IRports 7-12 can be configured to be RS-232 instead of IR.The installer uses the optional URC RS232 cables and whenneeded,the URC MM6 Male to Male gender adapter to con-nect the MSC-400 to any RS-232 device that can be controlledvia TX,RX and GND only.Expand RF Range to Cover Estates,Connect up to 3 RF Receivers - The MSC-400 includes one RFX-250 RF Receiver.The receiver is separatefrom the Master System Controller to optimize freedom fromRF Interference and speed installation.Via the MSC-400s RFInputs,up to three RFX-250s can be connected.Since eachRFX-250 typically gives 50-100 feet of range, huge estates canbe given robust,reliable RF via a network of wired RF receivers.Use remotes as PC Keyboards - Via theUSB connector on the rear of the MSC-400,CompleteControl remotes can be programmed to act as PC keyboards onany Windows PC with a USB port.Control Screens,Drapes and Lifts -Via the two relay connectors and the convenient12v power outlet on the rear of the MSC-400,devices thatare controlled by applying a 12v Trigger voltage or by contacts opening and closing,can be automated by the MSC-400.New Narrow Band RFTransmission & ReceptionAny audio video system, by its very nature, includescomponents with high speed microprocessors whichproduce wide band localized RF interference. The combination of new versions of the MX-3000,MX-950,TX-1000 and the MX-900 with the RFX-250 providesultra reliable RF via the extraordinarily specific narrowband reception of the RFX-250. A new protocolenables hundreds of complex macros, each with hundreds of steps and all stored in the MSC-400 to beindividually triggered with a single button push on theremote control regardless of the interference and noisein the environment.The combination of very narrow transmissionof digitally encoded packets sent THREEtimes at digital speeds in milliseconds,assuresthat every button press on the remote will bereceived by theMSC-400. TheMSC-400’ssophisticated error correction circuitry stores all three packets andcompares them. Once two packetsare identified as identical, the MSC-400 goes to work.This new technology not only increasesrange,but increases reliability by a vastmargin.
