CONTROLLER/AMPLIFIER FEATURES

Central Processor

ξ Four Audio/Video Source Inputs

ξ Video sensing (NTSC/PAL Sync) on each input for power management of common source components

ξ Current sensing (>20mA-<10A) for each input for power management of common source components and future control modules using the optional CSM1

ξ Internal memory (96 Kbytes non-volatile flash) for storing IR codes. ξ Programmable only with Dragon Drop-IR Programming Software.

ξ Recognizes Xantech RC68+ Commands to initiate sequences of IR or amplifier commands. ξ Outputs single IR commands or IR sequences.

ξ Sends "busy" signal to keypads when system is active.

ξ IR learning eye on back panel of Controller/Amplifier is used as an IR learning port with Dragon Drop-IR™ software.

ξ DB-9 RS232 Serial port for programming, expansion and upgrading firmware (Future Proof). ξ Also available in 230 VAC / 50 Hz.

Zone Features/Specifications

ξ Each zone has 1 RJ45 connector for MRC44 keypad, 1 composite video output, 1 speaker-pair terminal and a 12VDC status output.

ξ Multiple zones can be linked to behave as one zone. ξ 25 Watts per channel.

ξ Frequency response: 12 Hz to 55KHz (±3dB)

ξ THD: <0.08%.

ξ Signal-to-noise ratio: > 96dB A-weighted

Five IR Emitter Ports

ξ Four source specific IR emitter ports and one common IR output.

Software

ξ Uses Xantech's Dragon Drop-IR™ programming software (included). ξ Provides programming of IR codes for control of source components. ξ Program sequences of up to 40 IR codes per button.

ξ Incorporate delays in sequences to allow for amplifier power-up, light dimming, screen drop, drape closure, etc.

ξ Allows programming and creation of source icons on keypad displays.

ξ Associates IR codes to sensed conditions for power management of common sources.

ξ "Future Proof" feature will allow upgrades for additional system flexibility and control as available.

KEYPAD FEATURES

ξ Flush-mount, snap-in wall unit with universal wall mounting plate. Requires a 4" x 4" hole cutout in wall (use included template).

ξ Configurable LCD panel (via supplied Dragon Drop-IR software). ξ 16 buttons (4 source select, 11 function, 1 power).

ξ Backlit LCD and buttons. ξ Variable backlight timeout.

ξ Bi-colored Status LED for power and status. ξ Broadband IR receiver (30KHz to 100KHz).

ξ Connects to MRC44 Controller/Amplifier via CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors. ξ Two RJ45 connectors allow two keypads per zone.

ξ Programmable “push-and-hold” on most buttons.

ξ Optional New Construction backbox (Xantech Part# MRCBOX).
