MX-980
Master Remote
Simplify the Complex,Customize for Every
User and Enchant Your Clients with Color.
Stunning QVGA Color LCD
The 2.4”240 x 320 pixel screen provides a visual feast for your clients with
an incredibly detailed 160 pixel per inch view. Capable of 262,144 colors,
the screen labels eight hard buttons with icons and sharply readable text.
MX-980 Editor provides thousands of icons in galleries for every
purpose,from selecting activities to favorite Satellite Radiostations.
Whole House Device Control
Transparently to your client, the MX-980 routes commands
three ways: line of sight IR,RF via an MRF base station or
MSC Trigger to an MSC-400.Thus,one macro step might
command the drapes to open via line of sight IR, while
the next step powers on the local TV via RF to a locally
placed MRF base and still another step configures the
correct Satellite Receiver in the equipment closet via an
MSC-400 trigger command.
Perfect MSC-400 Integration
The MX-980’s OpenArchitecture™PC Editor unleashes
the possibilities of Master System Control automation via
MSC-400.Any button,any screen can be programmed with
MSC Triggers,providing your system designs with perfect
reliability and predictability (and maximum referrals).
Animated Status Screens
When the MX-980 is “busy” reconfiguring your client’s system
with a macro,the screen can be filled with customizable
animations that lets the client know that your programming is
automating their system with a cool, colorful animated graphic.
Elegant Recharging Base
The MX-980’s Lithium Ion battery can be used without rules.The
battery does not retain a “memory”like other rechargeable
batteries and can be kept charging for any length of time.
When the MX-980 needs charging,your client simply
places it in the convenient charging base.

Incredibly Fast,Structured
Programming with a New File
When starting from scratch,MX-980’s OpenArchitecture enables

command.
Instantly Navigate
Existing Files

Build Graphic Layouts Your Way
Before applying any IR codes or MSC triggers,the programmer
builds button layouts for each device the MX-980 controls.

kind of device you want,create it, then apply the correct button
layout to the device.
Fast Powerful Macro Programming
with Advanced MS-400 Logic
The MX-980 Editor opens the
door to IF/ELSE and TOGGLE
logic,enabling sophisticated
automation of complex systems.
You can view all the details of a
macro by simply clicking on the
button in Simulator View.In the
Macro Window,you can inspect
your programming,drag to
rearrange the order or logic of
steps and copy and paste commands or groups of commands
from one macro to another.
