Overview :

This MXM allows controlling various types of Infrared outputs with an unified programming and user interface.

The infrared resources themselves are provided by MRCs (Medialon Resource Connectors) which implement Infrared Resource management like the "AMX" MRC.

Installation (MXM) :
 

In order to use the MxM Medialon Infrared properly, Infrared resources must be declared and configured prior creating a device. See the Manager User's Manual for more information about resource configuration.


Note about using AMX Infrared Resources with the MxM Medialon Infrared:
In order to be able to send drivers to an AMX Infrared Resource through the device, the AMX software utility FileTransfer must be installed on the computer. This software is available at the AMX website (http://www.amx.com). For more information about how to send a driver to a specific resource, please check the > Creation (Device) section below.

Creation (Device) :
 

The device window setup allows to declare the infrared resource to use with the device and its driver. For more information about the resources configuration in Medialon Manager, please report to the user manual.


Infrared Port: allows to select the infrared port to use with the device. The "Select..." button allows to select an infrared resource among all resources defined in Manager.

It represents the infrared library linked to the selected infrared resource. This window allows to select a driver from the library or an "Unspecified" driver. You are able to import a driver into this library by clicking on the button "Import Driver...".
