3E. Master Keys: Part 2 - Special Features

Automation Bypass for Manually Adjusted Features

Additionally, you may choose to utilize the IntelliFile II’s “Automation Bypass” feature by selecting Leave TV Alone and Leave Preamp Alone under “Scene Settings” on the “Components” Tab.

The IntelliFile®II’s “Automation Bypass” feature would be useful if you wanted a certain Master Key to be used as a “Feature Key”. Setting a Master Key up as a “Feature Key” enables it to control devices or functions which are not source components, but simply functions of a source, or functions of a peripheral device (i.e. a lighting control system, mechanical drapes, projection screen, masking devices, etc.).

After the “Feature Key” has been selected and the desired commands have been issued from the “Feature Key” page (“single” IR commands or a “Function Key Sequence” may be issued from the “Feature Key” page), you are able to reselect the original Master Key for the source you are watching to regain control over the functions of that source. The system will not reconfigure itself to the original Master Key’s default settings.

Note: If a different Master Key (other than the one selected before the Feature Key was pressed) is chosen, the “Automation Bypass” feature will not work as described, and the system will reconfigure itself to its default settings for the newly selected Master Key.

By configuring a Master Key as a manually controlled “Feature Key”, the “Automation Bypass” feature becomes a useful part of a system design whenever manual control of the system’s features (as well as automation) is desired.

Automation Bypass for a Typical Application

Normally, when the “CD” Master Key is pressed, the IntelliControl® will set the system’s Surround Sound Mode to “Stereo”. However, you may label one of your Master Keys as a “Surround Sound Feature Key” so the end-user may select a source and then manually change the surround mode from its default setting.

This is accomplished by programming the “Surround Sound” Master Key to Leave the TV alone and Leave Preamp alone, which will enable the “Automation Bypass” feature. You then program the IntelliControl®’s numeric keys on the “Surround Sound” page to enable direct access to the preamp’s different DSP surround modes (i.e. Concert Hall, Stadium, Jazz Club, etc.).

A typical listening session might go something like this: You press the “CD” Master Key and the system comes to life correctly configured to Stereo Mode. After listening for a while, you decide that one of your processor’s digital sound fields would be very well suited to the CD you are listening to. You press the “Surround Sound” Master Key and experiment with different modes until the sound is perfect.
