Kramer Electronics Revision 6 manual Initial Planning, Glossary

Introduction

1.7Initial Planning

Carefully plan your RC system layout to ensure a smooth and easy configuration and installation (refer to the separate user manuals1), by:

•Defining your requirements

•Listing the peripheral devices and room items that will be included in the system

•Planning the location of each device

•Planning the function of each device

Make a detailed list of the functions and commands required of the system devices, for example:

Figure 1: Media Room Components List

Once this list is finalized and approved, you can proceed with the configuration and installation process.

Note that you can create a configuration file for a certain control setup without connecting the relevant Master or room controller to your PC2

1.8 Glossary

The glossary in Table 5 defines common terms used throughout this manual:

Table 5: Glossary

Action:	A command that performs an action (for example, Mute the sound on the power amplifier). Actions are
	grouped into Action Types based on their function (for example, Button Light)
Action Types:	Select an Action Type from the list to display its available ports and commands (for example, selecting the
	Relay command lists the ports and actions relevant for this action type)
Driver:	A user defined protocol that allows Kramer’s control products to communicate with a hardware peripheral,
	for example, a projector
Monitor Event:	A special case of Trigger which contains a sequence of commands that only runs when a predetermined
	port event occurs (for example, the projector Power On command initiates a series of actions contained in
	the "Power" Monitor Event trigger)
Port Manager:	The Port Manager window lists the available ports, lets you write a description and assign a default driver
	for each port, as well as determine which port will appear in the Web Access Main page
Trigger:	A sequence of commands (Action List) that can be run automatically, manually via the Web, or based on a
	schedule (for example, Device Startup)
GPI/O	General Purpose Input/Output is a port that can be configured by the K-Config software
