As a result, dealers utilize remotes that program stand-alone, without a PC. Installers forced to setup these standaloneprogramming remotes are often frustrated in any attempt tomake the remote automate the system using macros.

View and Edit Macros on ScreenMacro programming is a critical function for delivering a specificsequence of commands to a variety of components in order toprovide clients with an easy to use system.

Thus, if one step is wrong in the macro (forexample, one delay is too short); the entire macro had to bedeleted and completely re-programmed.

Until now, that is. The MX-450's most revolutionary feature isMacro Editing. This has never been seen before in a standalone pro-

MX-6000: The Networked Home Theater Revolution Begins...

The revolutionary MX-6000brings the power of WiFi networkingto the home theater, without compro-mising simplicity.

The MX-6000 is the first home the-ater remote control to offer two inde-pendent communications and controlmethods simultaneously. The MX-6000 provides both a narrow band418 MHz transmitter for instant con-trol of conventional home theatercomponents and a WiFi transceiverfor high speed transfer of cover art,artist, album and title metadata.

The MX-6000 offers home theaterowners instant no rules control of AVreceivers, flat screen TVs, projectors,cable and satellite receivers, DVDplayers and changers.

Unlike other WiFi remote controls, theMX-6000 uses a second RF (RadioFrequency) transmitter to control con-ventional gear instantly, without thefrustrating delay of waiting for theremote control to "join the network"when you simply want to turn the sys-tem on.

There are three possible companionRF base stations that provide instantcontrol. The MSC-400 Master SystemController enhances the capabilities ofthe MX-6000 by storing and issuing

Smart Macros to your main systemcomponents. These smart macrocommands offer the ultimate in relia-bility and speed, since a single com-mand, measuring fractions of a sec-ond, can trigger long complex macroroutines with RS-232, IR, relays oreven USB keyboard commands to aPC.

The MRF-350 and MRF-260 RF basestations enable an MX-6000 toaddress or route IR commands to con-ventional components anywherein your home. By placing MRF basestations near your TVs, cable/satreceivers and other conventional IRcontrolled components, you canenjoy instant, no pointing, no rulesoperation everywhere in your home.

At last, you can fully control thelighting in your home without expen-sive black boxes and exotic wiring. Alighting system can be as simple as asingle URC RF lamp dimmer on alamp that you’d love to control with-out getting out of your chair.

The MX-6000 directly controls lightsconnected to URC RF Dimmers andSwitches. You can brighten, dim, andrecall scenes, and you can store newscenes whenever you like, without aPC or a programmer. Simply manual-ly adjust each dimmer to the new set-ting, then press and hold the scenebutton on your MX-6000 (just likestoring radio stations in your car!).

When the MX-6000 is connected tothe Internet, pre-programmed mod-ules enable instant access to person-alized news, sports, weather andstocks.

Unlike other devices, the MX-6000’snews, sports, weather and stocksmodules are user-configurable with-out a programmer or a PC. On awhim, you can check out the oppos-ing team’s scores, or get the weatherforecast for a vacation destination.

WiFi Speed Brings Cover Art, Artist, Album and Titlesto the Touch Screen!

Internet Connection Provides Real Time News,Sports, Weather and Stocks

Narrow Band RF for Instant Control of HomeTheater Components without Delays at Turn On

Native Lighting Control — Touch the Screen to Set a New Scene!

The high speed of the built-in 802.11 B/G WiFi transceiver enables the MX-6000 todisplay lists of artists, albums or songs and to display the cover art of the selectedalbum on the Now Playing screen of the remote control.

News, Sports, Weather and Stocks modulesrequire that the MX-6000 be installed to aWiFi router with an Internet connection.
