Product Overview

DESCRIPTION

The CTL101 interface converts contact closures and infrared (IR) signals to RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial commands. The unit allows complete systems integration and system control via a single computer workstation, contact closure and / or infrared remote. The CTL101 can also be used to remotely control a VCR, DVD, INLINE unit or any other IR receiver equipped device by passing along IR remote signals.

PRODUCT FEATURES

• Three Command Sources - Commands can come directly from the host computer. Prepro-

grammed commands can be sent by using an IR remote control or via any of the 16 contact closure ports.

• Infrared Remote Control - provides one touch operation of programmed system functions

and allows the presenter to move freely around the room.

• Remote Operation - The CTL101 allows operators to connect a local IR emitter directly to

control equipment (that is IR receiver equipped) and transmit remote signals from over 1000 feet away.

• Serial Input and Output Ports - allow the CTL101 to pass along commands from a compu-

ter or other control system to the controlled equipment.

• On Screen Display Menus - are provided by the CTL101 for the control computer monitor.

• Easy Setup - A Terminal Emulation Program is the only software necessary to set up the

CTL101…no special software is required!

• Versatile Mounting Capability - The CTL101 can be placed / mounted in a variety of loca-

tions or fits neatly in a 1U rack space (when mounted in a standard 19" equipment rack).

• Optional Equipment:

CTL120-1 IR Remote Control - sends infrared commands to the CTL101. This hand-

held generic unit can be customized with labels to match specific installation requirements.

CTL120-2 IR Remote Control with Overlay - is the same remote with an overlay that

specifies which buttons control the IN1402 / IN1403 / IN1404 Video Scalers, IN3600 Series Switchers and IN31608 Matrix. A diagram outlining the location and function of each button can be found on pages 27 - 29. Complete operating / programming instructions are provided in the CTL120 Operations Manual.

CTL130 IR Emitter - acts as a signal transponder in that it allows operators to control

video equipment that may be out of the IR remote’s line-of-sight (i.e. rack-mounted equipment, devices located in another room, etc.).

CTL131DB / CTL131DW IR Sensor - is an IR sensor (housed in a double size A/V

connector module) that can be mounted in a remote location and relay control signals up to 1000 feet (available in black or white).

Installation

This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the CTL101 Control Interface. Serial Port Wiring Diagrams are provided on pages 4 - 6, Application Diagrams are included on

pages 7 - 11, and a Front and Rear Panel Connectors and Controls Diagram can be found on page 13. All connectors and controls are located on the back of the unit.

Note: Installation of the CTL101 must only be carried out by qualified technicians. Read the instructions carefully before initiating the installation procedure. Make sure that there is no power connected to any of the units.

1.) Set the Dipswitches - as appropriate for your installation (if applicable). See pages 13 & 14

for more details.

2.) Place / Install the CTL101 Interface - at the desired location. Make sure that the IR sensor

window remains unobstructed.

Sunlight and direct reflections can sometimes cause the CTL101 IR sensor to activate inadvertently. Avoid placing the unit near bright light sources and / or areas where light reflection may affect the unit’s performance.

3.) For Rack-Mount Installations - Secure the CTL101 to the optional IN9080 rack mount

shelf using two (2) #6 - 32 x ¼" long screws (provided with the rack shelf). Two interfaces can be mounted side-by-side on a single rack shelf, or a single unit may be mounted along with an optional IN9088B blank plate. Together, the CTL101 and the IN9088B fit snugly in a 1U rack space.

Note: When attaching any INLINE unit to an INLINE rack mount shelf, the four (4) rubber feet

be removed from the bottom of the unit.

must

4.) Control Signal Connections - Make one or more control signal input / output connections as

appropriate for your installation:

 Connect the Computer or Control System Serial Port to the RS-232 / RS-422 /

RS-485 Serial Port Input (see Wiring Diagrams on page 4 thru 6 and Application Diagram A on page 7). The CTL101 is configured from the input port using a host computer in terminal emulation mode. See the Terminal Emulation Parameters Section on page 16 for more details on configuring the CTL101.

 Connect Serially Controlled Devices such as the IN1402 / IN1403 / IN1404 Video

Scaler, IN3600 Series Switcher or IN31608 Matrix to the RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 Serial Port Output (see Application Diagram A on page 7).

 For Contact Closure - connect all switches to the Contact Closure Input Ports. The

CTL101 has 16 isolated ports. See the Wiring Diagram on page 6 and Application Diagram C on page 9.

 For Applications Involving IR Controlled Products - connect the 2-pin captive screw

connector on the CTL130 IR Emitter to the CTL101 IR Out Port (see Application

Diagram D on page 10). The mouse type emitter attaches directly over the IR sensor of the device being controlled (when used to control a single unit) or can be mounted up to three feet away from the IR controlled devices when used to control multiple units.

Note: Emitters are to be used for local control of video equipment only (i.e. the video equipment and the CTL101 are in the same room).

Do not place the CTL101 in a location where the unit’s sensor window will detect the emitter signal, or in an area in which the signal could feed back into the unit. This condition is evident whenever a remote control command is issued and the remote light on the CTL101 remains "ON" even after the remote control button is released.

 For Remote Sensor Applications - Connect the CTL131DB / CTL131DW IR Remote

Sensor to the IR Sensor Input Port (see the Wiring Diagram on page 6 and Application Diagram D on page 10). The sensor can be mounted in a remote location and can relay signals to the CTL101 from up to 1000 feet away. Set the Sensor Mode button to the EXT position.

6.) Turn on - the computer, monitor, INLINE equipment and all other connected / controlled

devices.

7.) Apply power to the CTL101 - using the IN9230 power cord (included). The power LED on

the front of the unit will illuminate.

8.) Set-Up the Terminal Emulation Program. Users can access the Set-Up Menu by typing an

Asterisk (*). Complete details are provided on pages 16 - 23.
