Remote Control
Introduction
The IS-SPX-1000 has powerful remote control capabilities. You can use the serial port or the IP connection to
control the content source, control the playback of animations, video, or audio, and display messages or
contextual animations on an external event.
Three main methods can be used to control the IS-SPX-1000:
Network control. This may be done from a PC, a URL to the this player or from another IS-SPX-
1000 player.
The serial port of the IS-SPX-1000. A dedicated protocol file must be written to translate RS232
commands to a series of actions to be performed by the IS-SPX-1000.
The USB port of the IS-SPX-1000. Human Interface Devices (HID), such as a keyboard and
mouse, can be used to control the IS-SPX-1000.
Remotely controlling the IS-SPX-1000 lets you change the content displayed on the screen or pause a video
based on the user input.
This guide covers the multiple aspects of remotely controlling the IS-SPX-1000, using the templates that come
with the installer and those available at www.amx.com. We'll also see how to write your own JavaScript code
for more advanced uses.
All examples follow the same structure:
For IP control, the commands will be sent over TCP with the telnet utility from the command line
or from sample client-side scripts in HTML pages.
The serial port examples assume a simple protocol where each command is a single character, so it
can be exercised easily by connecting a PC to the serial port and sending the right keys.
