MSC-400 SystemNarrow Band RF Remotes TriggerAutomation of RS-232, IR and RelayControlled Components and SystemsMSC-400 MASTERSYSTEMCONTROLLERHigh performance audio video systems can include IR(infrared controlleddevices such as Satellite and Cable set top boxes, DVDplayers etc.), RS-232(serial controlled devices such as projectors, surroundsound receivers andmedia servers), and Relay and Voltage controlled devices(such as lights,drapes, curtains and blinds). The MSC-400 Master SystemController isdesigned to seamlessly automate all of these types ofdevices.Installation of the MSC-400 insures that any future purchasecan besuccessfully integrated regardless of its control method.VARIETY OF USER INTERFACESIn the MSC-400 System, there are four compatible remotecontrolswhich can be programmed to initerface with the Master SystemController; the MX-3000, MX-950,TX-1000 and the MX-900. Allhave unique options for customization to any clients tastesandneeds, up to a unique graphical style for every room andevery user. THE COMBINATION – ULTIMATE RELIABILITY, FLEXIBILITY AND POWERIn a system equipped with an MSC-400, the remote control inthe hands ofthe user has a very easy task compared to lesser systems.Instead of sendingmulti-step macros (each step vulnerable to a mistake inpointing or other accidental interference), the remote sends an instantaneousdigital RF (RadioFrequency) command to the MSC-400.This RF command isconstructed with aunique error correction algorithm for incredible RF rangeand reliability. Oncethe RF trigger command is received by the MSC-400,sophisticated sensors,control ports, vast memory and machine intelligence go towork. Instead of asimple macro, the MSC-400 intelligently tests each componentto see whetherit is on or off, then sends the exact commands needed toreconfigure the system. As a result, the system responds perfectly to the user,as if an invisibleengineer was concealed in the system cabinet, operating thesystem for them.COMPLETE500 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, NY 10528 Phone: (914)835-4484 Fax: (914) 835-4532 CONTROLwww.universalremote.comHardware Designed For Professional Installers – Designed toEquip You With Instant Diagnostic ToolsInstalling and programming the MSC-400 Master SystemController is sped enormously by a combination of hardwareand software design features.The MSC-400 is optimized forinstallation in a equipment rack or cabinet. Softly glowingblue and green LEDs on the front panel indicateconnections, sensor status and the RF environment. In one glance, theprofessional installer can diagnose the system.Whenprogramming is required, the installer simply connects a laptopvia USB cable to the front panel programming port. Nocontrols are acccessible to the end user (even if the end userwere to connect to the MSC-400s programming port, theycannot upload the configuration).Software Designed For Professional Installers – Designed toOptimize Programming Flexibility with SPEEDMRF Editor software offers extensive control options, RS232Two WayDiagnosis, IF/ELSE nesting logic and elaborate speedoptions, like thechannel favorites tool, which enables installers to programdozens ofnumeric keypad macros in seconds.The result, no limits onyour imagination when it comes to dreaming up new features to make operationeasier and fast, fast programming…Expands to Control 22 ComponentsThe unique Master/Slave programming optons enablesinstallers to combine two MSC-400s into one equipment location with completeintegration of all macros in one Master MSC-400.The two MSC-400s are slavedtogether via the#12 RS-232 Ports on both units.Thus a combined systemcontrols 22 components.SpecificationsMicroprocessor:Advanced ARM7TDMI microprocessor enables theMSC-400 to perform sophisticatedlogic, with nested IF ELSE statements and tests of sensorsand variables.Memory: 32 Megabytes of SDRAM and 64 Megabytesof NAND Flash Memory enable the MSC-400 to support vast,complex configurations.Macro Capability: Supports up to 32,640 macros of255 steps in each macro. Since Macros can be nested asone step inside another Macro, there is no realisticlimit for macro steps.Learning Capability: Standard frequencies(15kHz to 460kHz)RF Range (Radio Frequency):50 to 100 feet, depending upon the environmentRF Frequency: 418 MHzWeight: 77.6 oz.Size: 17.25″ x 8.5″ x 2.5″COMPLETECONTROLCOMPLETE CONTROLControl up to 12 Devices via IR – Controlsstandard IR (Infrared) controlled audio video components.There are six IR-only outputs, and six IR or RS-232 outputs.Each canbe individually adjusted and is compatible with rear panelIR inputs oncomponents or can be connected to IR emitters (6 IR emittersareincluded with the MSC-400, additional emitters can bepurchased sixat a time).On/Off Status of up to 6 Devices -There are six video or voltage sensor inputs to testwhether a component is On or Off. Components like DVDplayersand VCRs output video when on, no video when off. Byinstalling aURC VID Video Sensor and connecting to the MSC-400, theMSC-400will detect that the component is on or off. Components likeCATVset top boxes have a switched outlet. If a low voltage walladapter (5-24 V AC or DC) is plugged into the components switchedoutlet andthen connected to a URC VS-100 Voltage Sensor, the MSC-400candetect whether the component is on or off. By combining theoptional VS-100 with products from other companies that detect light, current,RF etc. the MSC-400 can reliably test on off status of almost anykind of component.Control up to 6 Devices via RS-232 – IRports 7-12 can be configured to be RS-232 instead of IR.Theinstaller uses the optional URC RS232 cables and whenneeded, theURC MM6 Male to Male gender adapter to connect the MSC-400toany RS-232 device that can be controlled via TX, RX and GNDonly.Expand RF Range to Cover Estates,Connect up to 3 RF Receivers – The MSC400 includes oneRFX-250 RF Receiver.The receiver is separate fromthe Master System Controller to optimize freedom from RFInterference and speed installation.Via the MSC-400s RFInputs, up tothree RFX-250s can be connected. Since each RFX-250typically gives50-100 feet of range, huge estates can be given robust,reliable RF viaa network of wired RF receivers.Use remotes as PC Keyboards – Via theUSB connector on the rear of the MSC-400, Complete Controlremotes can be programmed to act as PC keyboards on anywinPCwith a USB port.Control Screens, Drapes and Lifts -Via the two relay connectors and the convenient 12vpower outlet on the rear of the MSC-400, devices that arecontrolledby applying a 12v Trigger voltage or by contacts opening andclosing,can be automated by the MSC-400.MSC-400 System Control CapabilitiesAny audio video system, by its very nature,includes components with high speed microprocessors whichproduce wide band localized RF interference. The combination ofnew versions of the MX-3000, MX-950, TX1000 and the MX-900with the RFX-250 provides ultra reliable RF via the extraordinarilyspecific narrow band reception of the RFX250. A new protocolenables hundreds ofcomplex macros, each with hundreds ofsteps and all stored in the MSC-400 to beindividually triggered with a single buttonpush on the remote controlregardless of the interferenceand noise in the environment.The combination of very narrowtransmission of digitally encodedpackets sent THREE times atdigital speeds in milliseconds, assures that everybutton press on the remote will bereceived by the MSC-400. TheMSC-400s sophisticated error correction circitry stores allthree packets and compares them. Once twopackets are identified as identical,the MSC-400 goes to work.This new technology not onlyincreases range, but increasesreliabilty by a vast margin.
