1. Setup

1.3. Device Configuration
1.3.1. MTX3, MTX5-D and MRX7-D
MTX3, MTX5-D and MRX7-D can be controlled from an external controller through a NETWORK and RS-232C connector.
Up to nine remote controller devices can connect simultaneously to one MTX or MRX device, eight via the NETWORK
connector and one via the RS232 connector.
The procedure to configure the second control port of MTX3, MTX5-D and MRX7-D is shown below, this is found in MTX-MRX
Editor - System Menu- > Remote control.

(1)

(2)

(1) Select an MTX or MRX within the MTX/MRX system.
(2) Select BIT RATE of 38400 or 115200 for RS-232C control.
After selecting all the parameters, click OK to complete the procedure.
* In the case of the MTX5-D NETWORK remote control connection, either network connector (Primary or Secondary) can be
used when DANTE Daisy Chain mode is selected.
If using DANTE Redundant mode, only the Primary network connection and/or RS-232C connection can be used for remote
control.

1.3.2. XMV, EXi8 and EXo8
XMV, EXi8 and EXo8 can be controlled via an external device through a NETWORK connector.
Up to eight remote controller devices can connect simultaneously.
As remote control of XMV, EXi8 and EXo8 is performed via the NETWORK connector only, there is no requirement to configure
the port using MTX-MRX Editor for remote control.
When XMV, Exi8 and EXo8 are connected and controlled from MTX3, MTX5-D or MRX7-D, up to seven remote controller
devices can be used for these devices.

1.3.3. MRX7-D and Remote Control Setup List
Remote Parameter control for MRX7-D is managed via the Remote Control Setup List. This list must first be created in MTXMRX Editor in order to specify which Parameters can be controlled from an external remote controller. This list will be upoaded
to MRX7-D during Synchronisation.
