User Mode
The User Mode screen, shown below, includes the most frequently used controls: it
emulates the MLC 206 front panel for primary mode functions (input selection,
projector power control, volume control, relay toggling), and it emulates the
MediaLink Control Modules. See chapter two of this manual and refer to the
MediaLink™ Control Modules User’s Manual for details on basic operation.
When an MLC is connected to the host computer, projector driver and MLC
firmware information
is available at the bottom of every screen within the control
program. The projector driver name and version appear in the two spaces on the
left, and the third space shows which port is used for the host-to-MLC connection.
The fourth space indicates the MLC’s firmware version.
Special features
Relay buttons — By clicking on one of the Relay buttons you can trigger the
corresponding relay (1, 2, or 3) independently from selecting an input or
toggling another button.
Clicking on a Relay button triggers a latching on or off relay response
regardless of how the relays are configured (latching or momentary) in the
Relay & Misc. Options screen.
Volume Mute — Check this box to activate the audio mute (1Z, 0Z) command.
Disable Switcher Front Panel Menus — This feature toggles the executive mode
on or off to prevent or allow configuration (menu-based) changes via the
front panel of an optional MediaLink Switcher.
