Adding an IR driver

To add an IR driver to a port:

1.From the IP Link tab (left pane), select the IR port labeled Port A beneath the MLC 104 IP Plus tree.

Add IR driver window

2. Use the drop-down menus under IR Driver Selection to select the device type (choose DVD/VCR), and manufacturer (choose Hitachi). In the Available Drivers field, choose Hitachi DV-PF7E.

NIf you are unable to find the correct IR driver in the drop-down menu, or the Extron Web site, you can "learn" the command using the IR Learner software. You can download this software from the Extron Web site download center. Refer to the IR Learner Help File for instructions on how to use this software.

3. Click the Add Driver button. The Hitachi DVD/VCR appears within the Selected Driver(s) field.

Notice that this action also populates the IR Driver Function(s) field with predefined functions.

To view these IR driver functions as buttons on your GlobalViewer Web page, do the following:

4.Under the IR Port A Group field, click the Add Group button to add a folder (i.e., group) to the GlobalViewer Web Group(s) field.

5.Rename the folder according to the function of the device and/or any name that allows you to easily recognize the device. In this case, use the name "DVD_VCR".

6.	Under the IR Driver Function(s) field, select the desired
	functions (e.g., Power or Menu).
7.	Use the small green arrows between the two fields to
	populate the DVD_VCR folder with the functions you
	require. You can also drag and drop them into the folder.

Notice that the Port A IR icon is renamed to match the name of the added device.

Step 6: Configure the Front Panel Buttons

Once the device drivers are added, you can configure the MLC's front panel buttons. For this exercise, you will configure Input and On/Off buttons. Additionally, you can modify a button caption, add a tool tip, set repeat rates, and select button modes.

NYou can customize any front panel button (DVD, VCR, On/Off, etc.) on an MLC, but most are shipped with the most common operations labeled for you.
