Control system setup
Integrating MoIP with a control system is similar to integrating a matrix switcher. The Binary team has developed custom drivers and worked with control system manufacturers to certify the following control system drivers:
This page provides basic information on the control capabilities. Refer to the driver documentation for specific instructions, features, and capabilities.
For greater control and integration, the MoIP controller’s full application programming interface (API) is available for download on the support tab.
Basic switching control
An IP control system is required for transmitter-receiver switching. No serial or IR system switching control is supported.
RS-232/Serial Generation
RS-232/Serial commands are generated at each transmitter and receiver. Make connections from the receiver or transmitter endpoints directly to the devices to be controlled. RS-232 commands are sent over IP and are generated at each endpoint. In the control system driver, link each transmitter and receiver’s serial port to the devices to be controlled. Refer to the Serial & IR Control document for more information.
Infrared (IR) Routing
Infrared control signals are passed bi-directionally over the static routes configured on MoIP receivers under Control Settings > IR Link. These routes create virtual connections, so you don’t have to run another wire for IR. To configure these static 2-way IR routes with the control system, link the control system’s IR outputs directly to the device to be controlled based on the IR Link settings. Refer to the Serial & IR Control document for more information.
CEC Stand-by & Power On
CEC can be enabled in the control system driver and supports Stand-by and Power On commands. See the driver documentation for specific details. CEC compatibility varies between display manufacturers and should be tested for each display to ensure maximum reliability. Other control options may be required.
Audio De-embedding
When using stereo connections, the stereo audio outputs on the transmitter and receiver extract the audio for convenient input into multi-room audio distribution systems. No control system integration is necessary.
