T460, a low cost RS232 remote controller (and timer) for LCD and DLP video and data projectors, LCD and Plasma flat panels, for lecture theatres, classrooms, churches or conference rooms. |

The front panel
keyboard of the T460 is shown above, is 76mm by 58mm, and is mounted on
either a white or black Clipsal 2000 series blank power
point base or grid plate.
Behind the window is a two-line backlit LCD
screen showing system status. The T460 has an attractive white, or
black, smooth escutcheon surrounding it to give an overall size of
110mm by 70mm. This covers the
screw holes and can be mounted into a lectern or desk at a convenient
point for the speaker to control video and data projector operations.
Alternatively, the controller and front assembly can be mounted on a
black or white Clipsal 2000 base block, and can be wall mounted
near the operator's position.
As an option, just the adhesive backed keyboard and electronics board can be supplied without a Clipsal plate, to allow installers to mount the system on their own panel to match the decor of media control desks or wall plates in boardrooms, etc.
The T460 is wired
back to the LCD projector via an RS232 data cable, needing only three
wires (TX, RX and Ground). The control codes for many hundreds of
projectors are programmed into the T460 controller, and a variety of
customising set-ups can be performed on the unit via the front panel
keys to select different projector makes and models, and then to name
video sources from a menu and allocate them to various input channels
on the projector. (A connection for a fourth wire with 9 volts on it is
available as a CTS or DTR line HIGH to the projector to enable RS232
transmission, as some projectors expect this input to be HIGH before
allowing transmission.)
The control of audio level can be done in the projector, and audio control signals are sent to the projector along with the video source and power control signals. If a T461 audio rack is installed, it is controlled with a second serial port on the T460, and the T461 selects and controls the audio levels in step with source select signals sent to the video projector.
The normal keyboard background colour is pale blue, as shown to the right (above). An option of a "beige" background keyboard is available for the "Volume" keyboard, shown on the left (above). See larger photos: T460_Blue.jpg, T460beige_black_base.jpg , T460beige45.jpg
The T460 has a choice of keyboard labels for the right-hand two keys.
The standard key-labels for the right-hand keys are
"VOLUME UP" and "VOLUME DOWN". An option labels the right-hand keys "A/V Mute On" and "A/V Mute Off".
This is for installations which do not run audio through the projector
or control it via a T461, so the user can mute the system from the T460.
Another option labels the right-hand keys: "Freeze On/Off" and "Mute On/Off", providing both Freeze and Mute
functions to a screen. (Not available for all projectors.)
Applications in meeting rooms and churches allow an image to be
projected from a PC, and held there while the operator advances to the
next screen, or enters information on the laptop and edits it without
it
being shown till ready.
Pressing both Volume keys together mutes the sound and
picture. (Either yellow key restores the picture/sound)
Volume keys auto increment / decrement the audio level if a yellow key is held down. (Times are programmable.)
Note: New production is RoHS (Lead free).
An option
for the T461 adds 8 outputs. It has eight relay
contact outputs which can be used to control screen up/down functions,
projector access hatch controls, room lighting pre-set selects, etc.
The relays are also controlled
via the RS232 secondary link from the T460 to the T461. The relay
states are indicated by LEDs on the front panel of the T461. Control
options include control of a C-Bus or a Dynalite lighting control
system, or Quest, Kramer or Extron video switching systems.
The T462-R2 and
T462-R4 are boxed RS232 relay drivers which can be driven from a T460
via the second serial port in the same way as the T461 (above). The
first two relays are programmed from the T460 to lower and raise a
motorised screen. The relays can switch 12 volt signals to the motor
control system. (If only screen control is needed, use just the
T462-R2) JED can supply
a 12v 300mA power pack
to run a T460/T462 pair. Order PAK12/300.
In version 2.26 and later, the
relay functionality has been considerable enhanced. See below.
If scissor-jack
and room light dimming
relays are needed as well, order a T462-R4. Driver software is in
version
2.13A and later. (Large photo T462-R2/R4)
They need to power up the projector, select a source, run a video or computer presentation or demonstrate some other program, or display a feed from a document or microscope camera on the video screen, and then close the system down again. Contrast the four buttons on this unit with the 20 or 30 on some IR remote controls, each one different from room to room. This unit is identical from room to room, even with a mix of different projectors.
And when the show is over, T460 controller does not walk out the door in the lecturer's pocket like IR remote controllers often do!
JED sells such a timer, which allows the unit to run for
up to eight timer periods in a day, on all, or just certain days of the
week. This mode is supported by recent additions in the setup menu to
select this mode, and also to add
an optional control serial output from the second serial port to
control a DVD player, so when the timer contact commands an automatic
switch-on, as well as turning on the projector, after warmup, the DVD
player starts and plays a pre-programmed track or tracks, repeatedly if
selected. When the timer contact opens, the DVD player is sent a REJECT
command to stop it, and the projector is sent an OFF command. The
intended use for this is in museums, art installations, shop windows
(real estate, fashion shops), malls, etc.Applications include:

Download utility for COM1 to COM256 (for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP) for
T460 CPU: Downloader
This is a self-extracting EXE
file and runs a full install into the directory:
"Programs|Wilke
technology Gmbh|Tiger Downloader 2.03 English|Win32" as "Twload32.exe"
Then create a
short-cut on your desktop by right-clicking with your mouse on Twload32
and selecting "Create Shortcut". (This can be re-named)
Drag this shortcut
onto your desktop.
The support of COM 1
to 256, makes it
suitable for use on laptops with high COM port numbers (eg via USB to
Serial
adapters). It shows current COM port on top line of window, and allows
a "disconnect COM port function".

The left hand volume control is for the microphone input, and this is added to both channels equally. Rear preset switches allows the gain for the microphone channel to be preset in 6 steps of 10dB (0 to 50db). Inputs can be balanced or unbalanced (a switch on the back can ground one channel). Phantom power at 12 volts can be connected to the balanced microphone inputs to power a phantom-powered microphone preamplifier. Another switch controls a base-cut switch to reduce breath pops, etc.
It also takes a radio microphone input, and mixes it to both channels as well, via the right-hand volume control.
The advantage of such an audio control panel is that the lecturer does not need access to mic volume controls on the audio amplifier (which might be across the room in a secure rack), and can control the roving mic channel from the lectern as well.
A rear stereo log pot allows the T461/projector input level to be preset. (This signal level is adjustable via the "volume" buttons on the T460.)
A second stereo output is available to feed a cassette tape recorder to allow taping of lectures.

When ordering, make sure to specify colour (black or white), whether a matching base is needed, and whether a plug-pack power supply is needed.
