INSTALLATION

Insert the CD that came with your product and follow the onscreen instructions to install your hardware.

Following installation

You will be presented with the update screen:

If an update to the amBX Control Panel is available then it will appear here under the Recommended Software section – selecting it and then clicking Install will download the latest version from the server and install it for you.

Software may appear from time to time under the Optional Software section – these are applications that can further enhance your amBX experience; simply select and click Install to download and install them.

First steps

You will need to activate the amBX Control Panel to set up your lights – this is accessed from the Start menu. Click Start, Programs, amBX and then amBX Control Panel. The control panel looks like this:

ENGLISH

CONFIGURING YOUR amBX SOFTWARE

This allows you to set up the different games, media players and applications on your PC with amBX

Congure amBX Hardware

This allows you to set up the amBX peripherals that you have attached to your PC

Customise amBX Effects

This allows you to set up custom event-based effects for your amBX lights (such as

ashing a particular colour when an email is received)

Congure amBX Software

The amBX control panel will automatically detect any applications that you run and will provide notication of this in your system tray (the area next to your clock in Windows):

Note: You will usually have to run the application once and then exit it before the amBX control panel will detect it.

Open the amBX control panel, click Congure amBX Software and then you should see that the application has been added. By default amBX will be disabled – simply click the Enable amBX box and the next time you run the game your amBX lights will start displaying colours to match the onscreen action.

Those games which have amBX support built in will have the option to enable/disable amBX in their own options screens. The amBX control panel refers to amBX-enabled games as Embedded amBX and will just list them as they are run.

CONFIGURING YOUR amBX HARDWARE

The compass

amBX allows you to treat the positioning of the different elements in terms of a compass surrounding the player. This allows for positional information from within the game or

movie to be reected in the real world e.g. lights positioned on the right of the player can ash red to indicate that the player is being shot at from that direction.

With just a single pair of lights the screen will look much like this:

ENGLISH

Holding your mouse cursor over one of the icons in the compass will cause that light to illuminate – with this you can ensure that each of your lights is correctly set up in the amBX control panel, based on its actual location around your PC.

To change a light’s virtual position simply drag the icon in the compass to another

section of the compass – you may nd that you need to do this initially as the amBX

control panel may have assigned the light positioning incorrectly compared to your setup.

SURROUND LIGHTING

amBX-enabled games are aware of the direction in which light effects may be coming from so if you add more lights to your setup you will be able to enhance the immersion of your games even further. It’s even possible to specify the height that the light is set at as amBX-enabled games are also aware of the vertical position of a light source. Position a light at every compass direction and every height and you could have 24 lights!

Here’s just one example of how a multiple light setup might look in the amBX control panel.

CUSTOMISE amBX EFFECTS

It is possible to congure the lights to indicate Windows events in your normal desktop

ENGLISH

environment. Simply select the event that you want a light effect to be applied to then choose the effect from the drop down list at the bottom of the screen. You can create more effects for yourself using the amBX Creator (found in the Start>Programs>amBX

menu).

amBX ILLUMINATE

Also installed with the amBX control panel is an application called Illuminate. This allows you to set your lights to display a single colour or cycle through a sequence of

colours – all dened by yourself – when you are using your computer for something

other than playing games, movies or music. Double-click the Illuminate icon to bring up the interface:

Simply click in each of the bars to select the colour, saturation and brightness, respectively. You can set 5 different colours using the numbers at the bottom of the screen and then clicking the icon at the bottom right corner will allow you to set the lights to cycle through those colours automatically.

Options to control the speed of the colour changes can be accessed by right-clicking the Illuminate icon.
