A third-party controller, such as AMX or Crestron, can be used to control the 
SPM412e. To do this use the translator connection on the rear panel connected 
to an infrared output of the controller. The controller must have the correct driver 
loaded, which should be configured to output a carrier stripped IR signal, and are 
available from the AMX and Crestron web-sites. 
SPM 412e Control 
Two versions of SPM412e have been made with a slight difference in remote 
connector configuration, as follows: 
4 pin connector, no switch (older version) 
The connection from the touch panel controller and the SPM412e should be 
made to the ground and xlate (translate) pins of the 4 way remote connector. 
3 pin connector with switch (newer version) 
The connection from the touch panel controller and the SPM412e should 
be made to the ground and idle high pins of the 3 way remote connector, 
with the switch pressed in to allow a translate input. 
In either case the data sent to the SPM412e is always the same. 
The functions that can be controlled and the related Biamp button numbers are 
shown below:
