ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL | 11 |
SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
The ISM4 is a versatile device with endless possible applications. For the purpose of this manual, two basic applications will be described. One is a typical Home Theater application with the ISM4 managing system sync for an A/V Receiver and three source components. The other is a
HOME THEATER SYSTEM (Figure 4)
In this configuration, all system components can either be controlled directly with a programmed system remote or exclusively through an IR Receiver connected to the ISM4. In this configuration the A/V Receiver will be turned ON/OFF with the remote (or receiver front panel power button). When the receiver turns ON, the switched AC Outlet on the rear panel will also turn ON, energizing the connected 12V Power Supply. The SMVLT01 Voltage Sensor will detect the change of state, (in this case from OFF to ON) and show a control voltage to the Source 1 “Sense In” on the ISM4. (ISM4 System Status is always referenced to the device sensed by the Source 1 “Sense In”). The first task that the ISM4 will take in response to the
IR commands from the remote can be passed through the ISM4 via the IR Receiver to the emitters, allowing the system components to be hidden in a cabinet or closet, as long as the IR Receiver is positioned in
Turning the system OFF is the opposite process. When the A/V Receiver is turned OFF with the system remote (or receiver front panel button), the switched AC outlet on the rear panel will turn OFF,
Other Applications
Using the same basic scheme described above, there are many options as to what device will be the System Reference Device. In some cases it will be most intuitive to have a TV, Video Monitor or projector be the System Reference Device. (See Figure 5 in this manual and the ISM4 Quick Start Guide for configuration and programming instructions) Any time the TV is turned ON, by incorporating a SMVID01 Video Sensor on a TV Video Output, the ISM4 will execute ON Macros to turn ON an A/V Receiver, DVD Player, Cable Box and Satellite Receiver, for example. Another possibility would be to have a Video Game trigger the system. By making the Video Game the System Reference Device, any time the Video Game is turned ON, the ISM4 will activate and sync all appropriate devices for extreme gaming. The possibilities are endless. When incorporating an ISM4 into a system, ask the question: “What device or appliance do I want to use to trigger other devices or appliances?”
