Eliminate Programming Bottlenecks!

Specify MX-450’s for secondary rooms and areas.There is a very strong

demand for lower priced controllers to operate modest priced home

theaters and secondary rooms in larger installations, such as master

bedrooms, studies and kitchens. Many dealers do not provide all of

their installers with laptops, thus making in-home remote control

programming by a PC equipped programmer a bottleneck to pro-

duction. As a result, dealers utilize remotes that program stand-

alone, without a PC. Installers forced to setup these standalone

programming remotes are often frustrated in any attempt to

make the remote automate the system using macros.

View and Edit Macros on Screen

Macro programming is a critical function for delivering a specific
sequence of commands to a variety of components in order to
provide clients with an easy to use system. In all past standalone

programmed remotes, installers were faced with the challenging

task of programming macros without being able to modify their

work on the fly. Thus, if one step is wrong in the macro (for

example, one delay is too short); the entire macro had to be

deleted and completely re-programmed.

Until now, that is. The MX-450's most revolutionary feature is

Macro Editing. This has never been seen before in a standalone pro-

grammed remote. At last, the programmer can see the actual macro

steps clearly displayed on the remote controls' screen. Fine tuning, re-

ordering, adjusting delays and adding steps to the macros can nowbe

done without deleting previous work!

Delight Clients with Bright Color and
Great Ergonomics

The new URC MX-450 delivers an easy to sell cutting edge form factor,
extraordinary functionality and a beautiful color display. The graphical user
interface is bright and easily backlit at the touch of the Light button.
Engaging graphical icons for devices, activities and the most popular chan­nels are all pre-programmed.
