Optional Control Modules and MLA-Remote
The MLC has an additional thirty memory blocks in which IR or other commands
can be stored for control modules attached to the MLC. The MLC can “learn” IR
commands directly from a VCR’s, DVD’s, tape deck’s or other device’s remote
control. A learned command can be associated with each of the buttons on an
optional infrared control module (such as the Extron IRCM-VCR, IRCM-DVD,
IRCM-DVD+, IRCM-DV+, or IRCM-Tape) in order to allow limited control of
source devices. ACM control modules provide limited remote control of
adjustments to a slaved MediaLink Switcher.
The control module must be connected to the MLC before you can perform IR
learning for the module’s buttons.
either an input selection button or display power-up or display power-
down. See chapter two for information on the relays, and see chapter
four and the control software for details on changing settings for the relays.
Additional and secondary functions
— While the secondary mode is active,
the Display Power LED blinks rapidly.

Volume adjustment knob and LED
— Rotate this knob to adjust the audio
volume. The LED lights when the volume has reached the minimum or
maximum limit. The included control software lets you select whether this
knob will control the projector’s audio levels or the optional switcher’s audio
levels. If the knob controls the projector’s audio levels, the software allows
you to specify incremental adjustments or table-based adjustments. See the
MediaLink Control Software Help file for details.

IR signal pickup devices
— These sensors allow for IR control of the MLC
and for IR learning. The IR remote control must be pointed directly at these
devices for best results. One device is an IR receiver that receives signals from
the MLA-Remote for controlling the MLC 206. The other is the IR learning
device. The MLC can “learn” commands in order to control the projector or
to control input devices such as a VCR or DVD players. IR learning of
projector control codes is only necessary if there are no RS-232 codes available
for that projector or if you need to customize the driver. The IR learning
procedure is discussed in the control software and later in this manual.

A total of four control modules
(maximum) can be installed with
an MLC 206. Refer to the Control
Modules User’s Manual and the
Relay Control Modules User’s
Manual for installation details.
