The AVP2 has the ability to control the operational status of the Madrigal Imaging MP-8 and MP-9 video projectors in an intelligent fashion.

Specifically, when the MP-8/9 Link is turned on and the AVP2 is connected to either an MP-8 or an MP-9 projector, the AVP2 can toggle the projector between its operate and standby conditions according to whether an A/V source has been selected on the AVP2. (There is a short delay prior to changing the state of the projector, to guard against rapid toggling of the projector’s status when acciden- tally selecting an incorrect input.)

To take advantage of this feature with your Madrigal Imaging projector:

1TOGGLE THE MP-8/9 LINK TO “ON”

2CONNECT EITHER PHASTLINK™ CONNECTOR ON THE REAR PANEL OF THE AVP2 TO THE CORRRESPONDING PHASTLINK™ INPUT CARD ON THE PROJECTOR

Use a “straight-through” eight-conductor cable terminated in RJ-45 connec- tors. This cable is outlined on page 29, in PHASTLink™ Control Ports.

When using the AVP in a PHAST™ home automation system, the PHAST™ con- troller (that is, the computer running the PHAST™ software) must be the “master” of the communications bus. It is responsible for passing all communications be- tween various components in the system, much as the Post Office sorts out and delivers the mail.

However, many Madrigal products also use the PHAST™ communications hard- ware for their own inter-component communications, even absent the PHAST™ controller. In these cases, one of the Madrigal products serves as the “master” of the communications bus, facilitating all the communications between the various components. In effect, absent a post office, one of the Madrigal products steps in to deliver the mail.

At the risk of excessive anthropomorphizing, PHAST™ controllers do not like such challenges to their authority. To prevent the AVP2 from attempting to be- come the “master” of the communications bus when sharing it with a PHAST™ control system, we suggest toggling the Link Master menu item to off, which pre- vents the AVP2 from even enquiring as to whether it might take on these respon- sibilities. If you do not have a PHAST™ controller, you may safely ignore this menu item and leave it in its on setting.
