1 Introduction
This document is the specification for the RF-only Transceiver dongle, built in
GyroTransport plastic. This design is based off of the hardware design of the Gyration
“Gen II” receiver but is placed in the small form factor of the GyroTransport transceiver.
Some components changed from the Gen II design (smaller IC package) to allow the
design to shrink in size. This transceiver design is intended to be used with (but is not
limited to) the MusicLCD remote.

4 Functionality - Transceiver
4.1 USB Compatibility
The transceiver uses a standard USB Type A connector for connection to any standard
USB port of a computer. The transceiver is a certified USB compatible 2.0 device, running
at low speed. It is certified to run on Windows XP and XP Media Center operating
systems. Vista-Compliance is TBD (as of August 31, 2006)
4.1.1 USB Wake from S3 State
When the host system has been configured to wake from the S3 state (Standby) from
external device activity, the transceiver will produce a standard USB wake pulse (10 ms)
on the D- data line upon reception of valid radio traffic (radio transmissions from bound
units). This will wake the host system from Standby.
4.2 USB Enumeration
When the transceiver is plugged into the host system, it will be recognized and
enumerated as a composite device; mouse and keyboard.
The Product ID code (PID) of this device is (TBD).
4.3 Functional Behavior Specifications:
The functional behavior of this product is completely specified in the following table:
The transceiver is a USB 2.0 device that enumerates as follows:
I. Composite device with:
a. HID mouse - interrupt type at 10 ms intervals interfaced to
i. Generic desktop page (01)
ii. Consumer page (0C)
iii. Media Center page (FFBC)
b. HID keyboard - interrupt type at 10 ms intervals interfaced to
i. Generic desktop page (01)
ii. Consumer page (0C)
4.4 Connectivity
4.4.1 Proximity Binding
The transceiver has a unique feature which allows it to automatically bind with a
compatible device in close proximity, thereby avoiding the need to press a “connect”
button on the actual transceiver. This feature enables users to pair devices by simply
holding them close together. This proximity binding distance is approx 12 inches +/6 inches and could be fully adjustable in firmware for any application. The actual
distance may vary based on the user’s position relative to the computer.
The transceiver also has the capability to bind using the standard Gyration “connect”
button method where a connect button on each of the connecting devices is pressed
to initiate and complete a bind sequence. (the firmware in the transceiver has both
algorithms).

Page 7
Gyration, Inc.
The physical plastic contains a hole for a connect button but can be covered with a
product label if a proximity bind configuration is desired, thus saving the need for
different plastic parts based on the bind algorithm chosen.
4.5 Multiple transceivers in a system
When multiple transceivers are installed by plugging them into different USB slots of the
same computer, the following operation is noticed.
When both transceivers are proximity-bind transceivers:
When a proximity bind is attempted by moving 1 “proximity-bind enabled controller”
(like a remote control) close to the computer, that controller may bind to any of the
transceivers. The proximity bind algorithm relies on the controller and transceiver to be in
close proximity and a bind process would be started with the closest combination at that
time, and maybe wont be the pair desired. To prevent this, only 1 proximity-bind receiver
should be installed in the computer at a time while doing the bind sequence.

5 Windows Media Player Software Service Application
The Windows Media Player (WMP) software service application is an add-on user
installed program that interfaces in the background to the Windows Media Player
(version 10 or greater). This service application transfers music metadata information to
the transceiver. This feature is extra on the transceiver and does not interfere with the
standard USB operation of the transceiver. The transceiver would take that information
and send it via the Gyration RF link to the attached MusicLCD remote and then would be
displayed on the LCD screen of the remote. This information is only intended for the
Gyration / Dell products that support the Music LCD.
The service application has the following features / limitations:
- limited to only the Windows Media Center Operating system.
- Installs into a default directory unless selected differently during installation
- During installation, has a selection for multiple languages
- Is supplied on a mini-CD or a downloadable application
- Full HTML-based help (TBD)
