Interspace Industries MasterCue V6 System - Manual (Page 13)

With the main unit connected to the power and turned on, connect the external keyboard
(USB) to the keyboard input on the rear of the MasterCue main unit. Check that the com-
puter can be controlled from the keyboard which is now connected to the MasterCue main
unit (please note that some special keys will not work; Ctrl, Fn, ALT etc ). The one keyboard
will drive all three Computers—great for Editing.
Press and hold the tone/volume button MasterCue main unit until the Tone/Volume button
and the Speaker on/off button flash alternately. This will put the system into programming
mode. The unit can now record keystrokes made on the keyboard (up to a maximum of 4
keystrokes).
Press the keys on the keyboard which will perform the special cue you require (e.g. ’B’ to go
to black or ‘1
 ’ to reset to the beginning of the slideshow), then press either the ‘Next’ or
‘Back’ buttons on any of the handsets. The MasterCue will then return to normal mode and
whenever the handset button you programmed is pressed during a presentation, this key-
stroke sequence will be simulated. To program the second button, MasterCue will need to
be put into program mode again.
Special Cues can be erased by either re-programming the standard ‘Next’ and ‘Back’ key-
strokes using the cursor right (→) and cursor left (←) keystrokes, or by resetting the system
as previously described.
Special Requirements
Cables. Optimum performance of the MasterCue system can be assured when using cable
lengths up to 200m between the handsets and the main unit, and between the RF Receiver
and the main unit.. This is dependant on the quality of the cable used of course and high
quality microphone cable (screened pair) is recommended for optimum performance.
Cable DC Rating. DC power is nominal 100mA at 12V DC. This is to provide power to the
external devices and also carries the signal data between these and the main unit..
Wireless Performance. The wireless RF system is designed to operate reliably in an open
field environment up to 75m. This can be reduced when operating in an enclosed AV venue.
To ensure optimum performance, please observe the following guidelines:
Ensure the RF receiver aerial is vertically orientated
Position the RF receiver within line-of-sight of the handsets, without large metallic
objects in between, as much as possible
Avoid electrical/electronic interference by positioning the RF receiver away from
equipment as much as possible.
USB Interface. Suitable only for systems running a WINDOWS XP, Vista, Windows 7,
Apple and Linux or later, operating system. To ensure optimum performance, we can only
recommend using the USB A-B type cable supplied.
