The designation of the button type is important to the overall operational concept for the Room Navigator.
The Room Control Buttons can be configured to provide one function where the function can be one command or a
sequence of commands. For example, the upper leftmost Room Control Button is typically used as the System
On/Off button where it is used to take the system from Idle Mode to Operational Mode and it can be configured to
contain a start-up command script that configures the system and the connected equipment to a known state to begin
normal use (i.e., power up to connected devices, set the starting active source, switch the A/V to a starting source,
set audio to starting state, etc.).
The function buttons can be thought of as different pages of functions where each page corresponds to a particular
source. The source select buttons, select which page of function buttons will be active. When a device is “active” as
indicted by an illuminated LED above the button, the corresponding page of function buttons is also active as
illustrated in the figure to the right. This concept allows the 17 source control functions for each of the 8 possible
sources.
There are 175 total programmable button locations for user commands consisting of the following:
8 real + 1 virtual Device Select = 9
8 Device Select x 17 functions each = 136
1 virtual device x 17 functions = 17
2 Auto Execute
1 Auto Power-Up
10 Room Control
3.2.8.2.2 Virtual Buttons - Auto-Execute
There are 2 “Auto-Execute” function
buttons, AE1 and AE2. These virtual
buttons can be configured with a
command or command sequence that will
automatically execute after a user
designated time period. The time period
can be set to reset anytime a button (any
button) is pressed on the panel. These
buttons are perfect for automatic
shutdown of equipment.
