Eliminate Programming Bottlenecks!
Specify MX-450’s for secondary rooms and areas.There is a very strong
demand for lower priced controllers to operate modest priced home
theaters and secondary rooms in larger installations, such as master
bedrooms, studies and kitchens. Many dealers do not provide all of
their installers with laptops, thus making in-home remote control
programming by a PC equipped programmer a bottleneck to pro-
duction. As a result, dealers utilize remotes that program stand-
alone, without a PC. Installers forced to setup these standalone
programming remotes are often frustrated in any attempt to
make the remote automate the system using macros.
View and Edit Macros on Screen
Macro programming is a critical function for delivering a specific
sequence of commands to a variety of components in order to
provide clients with an easy to use system. In all past standalone
programmed remotes, installers were faced with the challenging
task of programming macros without being able to modify their
work on the fly. Thus, if one step is wrong in the macro (for
example, one delay is too short); the entire macro had to be
deleted and completely re-programmed.
Until now, that is. The MX-450's most revolutionary feature is
Macro Editing. This has never been seen before in a standalone pro-
grammed remote. At last, the programmer can see the actual macro
steps clearly displayed on the remote controls' screen. Fine tuning, re-
ordering, adjusting delays and adding steps to the macros can nowbe
done without deleting previous work!
Delight Clients with Bright Color and
Great Ergonomics
The new URC MX-450 delivers an easy to sell cutting edge form factor,
extraordinary functionality and a beautiful color display. The graphical user
interface is bright and easily backlit at the touch of the Light button.
Engaging graphical icons for devices, activities and the most popular chan-
nels are all pre-programmed.
