High performance audio video systems can include IR (infrared controlled devices such as Satellite and Cable set top boxes, DVD players etc.),RS-232 (serial controlled devices such as projectors, surround soundreceivers and media servers), and Relay and Voltage controlleddevices (such as lights, drapes, curtains and blinds).The MSC-400Master System Controller is designed to seamlessly automate allof these types of devices. Installation of the MSC-400 insures thatany future purchase can be successfully integrated regardlessof its control method.
In the MSC-400 System,there are four compatible remotecontrols which can be programmed to interface with theMaster System Controller; the MX-3000, MX-950,TX-1000 and the MX-900.All have unique options for cus-tomization to any client’s tastes and needs, up to a uniquegraphical style for every room and every user.

The
Ultimate in Reliability, Flexibility and Power
The MSC-400 Master System
Controller harnesses the power and tames the complexity of a sophisticated home
entertainment system, delivering ease-of-use and maximum enjoyment for the whole
family. If you are installing a top-of-the-line component system, odds are your
installation professional is specifying an MSC-400 from Universal Remote
Control.
Today's sophisticated components require system controllers
that do more than merely repeat signals. The MSC-400 controller has the brains
to handle even the most elaborate systems. Command sequences, called "macros,"
allow you to make several devices work together by pressing one button. Instead
of separately turning on the TV, turning on the DVD player, changing the input,
and turning on the receiver, these commands are chained together in the proper
sequence in a macro. The macros are programmed into the MSC-400 and triggered by
digital RF (Radio Frequency) from an MX-900, TX-1000, MX-950 or MX-3000 remote
control instead of being haphazardly broadcast in the direction of the device
(as with some conventional remote controls).
Once triggered, the commands
execute without interruption and without further interaction with the remote. No
pointing necessary! As a result, the system responds perfectly to your command,
as if an invisible engineer was concealed in the system cabinet, operating the
system for you.
The MSC-400 tests the status of the devices it controls
and issues commands accordingly. In other words, it finds out whether your TV is
"on" or "off" for example. In practice, it's the difference between shouting at
someone as you drive past their house compared to calling them on the telephone
to make sure they are home.
The operative word is interoperability
- the ability to communicate with the hardware from multiple vendors.
Furthermore, the MSC-400 controls a wide range of disparate devices including IR
(infrared), RS-232 (serial), Relay (contact/voltage triggered) and even USB
Keyboard commands. Therefore, it can be used to operate sophisticated home
theater equipment, audio components, lighting, Media Center PCs, even motorized
screens, drapes and lifts. It also gives you complete assurance that it can
control any components you add to your system in the future-it never becomes
obsolete.
The MSC-400 takes advantage of the latest technology,
including Narrow Band RF. It comes complete with one RFX-250 digital RF receiver
which allows your professional installer to completely conceal all of the
hardware out of sight and still maintain flawless connection even at distances
approaching 100 feet. The combination of superior technologies, coupled with
redundancy, error correction algorithms and advanced engineering, means you will
enjoy the most trouble-free system possible.
There are no controls for
you to set, no buttons to push-just a series of softly glowing green and blue
LEDs that indicate connections, sensor status and the RF environment. With one
glance a professional installer can diagnose the system. Think of the MSC-400 as
the master system controller that empowers your remote controls to truly fulfill
our pledge of Entertainment Made Simple.
Software Designed
For Professional Installers
Designed to Optimize Programming Flexibility
with SPEED MSC Editor software offers extensive control options, RS232 Two Way
Diagnosis, IF/ELSE nesting logic and elaborate speed options, like the channel
favorites tool, which enables installers to program dozens of numeric keypad
macros in seconds. The result, no limits on your imagination when it comes to
dreaming up new features to make operation easier and fast, fast programming...
Expands to Control 22 Components
The unique Master/Slave
programming optons enables installers to combine two MSC-400’s into one
equipment location with complete integration of all macros in one Master
MSC-400.The two MSC-400’s are slaved together via the #12 RS-232 Ports on both
units.Thus a combined system controls 22 components.
Expand RF Range
with 3 RF Receivers
The MSC400 includes one RFX-250 RF Receiver. The
receiver is separate from the Master System Controller to optimize freedom from
RF Interference and speed installation. Via the MSC-400’s RF Inputs, up to three
RFX-250’s can be connected. Since each RFX-250 typically gives 50-100 feet of
range, huge estates can be given robust, reliable RF via a network of wired RF
receivers.
Control Screens,Drapes and Lifts
Via the two relay
connectors and the convenient 12v power outlet on the rear of the MSC-400,
devices that are controlled by applying a 12v Trigger voltage or by contacts
opening and closing, can be automated by the MSC-400
