Use the Plugable Terminal Blocks Connect Wires to a Configurable Serial Port Add IR Receiver Capabilities to Remote Locations Set Up IR-Signal Generation to Control Third-Party Devices Use Video Sense Loop to Add On/Off Sensing

Use the Plugable Terminal Blocks Many Media Controller connections, including Serial Ports 3 and 4, Contacts and Relays, make use of a Plugable Terminal Blocka removable plastic part with locking latches for individual wires. Media Controller ships with one plugable terminal block for every applicable port. NOTE: When you connect dry contact closure devices, such as door switches, connect the switch between +12v and SIG. 20 To connect a device to a Plugable Terminal Block:

1. Insert one of the wires required for your device into the appropriate opening in the Plugable Terminal Block you reserved for that device (refer to Table 2-2 on page 17). For example, if you were adding an IR motion sensor, you would connect the motion sensor power input to +12v, its ground connector GND, and its output to SIG. 2. Lower the openings latch until it locks the wire in place. 3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for all wires required for your device. Connect Wires to a Configurable Serial Port Media Controller provides four serial ports: Two that use standard male DB9 connector and two that are configurable as RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 and provide hardware handshake. Wiring to one of the configurable ports depends on the wiring requirements of the device you are connecting. Refer to your devices documentation and the following tables to determine how to wire the port. Refer also to Use the Plugable Terminal Blocks on page 20. Table 2-3.

1. Place your IR receiver In end at the remote location needed. 2. Discreetly run the wires from the remote location to the back of the Media Controller. 3. Connect the IR receiver wires (generally Power, Signal, and Ground) to one of the Media Controller IR In connectors (a Plugable Terminal Block connector). Refer to the IR receivers documentation to determine wiring needed and see Use the Plugable Terminal Blocks on page 20. 22 Set Up IR-Signal Generation to Control Third-Party Devices Your system may contain third-party products that ship with IR (infrared) remote controls. To provide a way for Media Controller to control a device that only recognizes IR commands, complete the following setup. 1. Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the 8 IR stick-on emitters provided into an IR Out port on the Media Controller. 2. Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR receiver on the media player, TV, or other target device to transmit IR signals from the Media Controller to the target. You can now use the System Remote Control to control the connected IR-controlled device. Use Video Sense Loop to Add On/Off Sensing If you need to add On/Off sensing capabilities to a device

(such as a TV or DVD player), connect one of the devices composite Video Out ports to a Media Controller Video Sense Loop In port. Then use the companion Video Sense Loop Out port for the devices video out as needed. Connect AV Devices to One Another 1. Connect Audio components to one another. For example:

If you connected a Control4 Audio Matrix Switch

(or a third-party audio switch) to Media Controller, then connect all amplifiers and other A/V equipment to the audio switch.

If you connected a Control4 Multi Channel Amplifier (or a third-party amplifier) to Media Controller, then connect all applicable speakers to the amp. 23 2. Connect Video devices to one another. For example, if you intend to play DVDs directly from a DVD player to your TV, connect the DVD players Video Out to the TVs Video In. Relocate the WiFi Antenna The WiFi antenna is installed behind the Media Controller front panel door. If Media Controller is installed in an all-

metal rack with front metal doors, then WiFi may not function very well. In this case, the WiFi antenna may be relocated outside of the rack.To relocate it:
