Landmark Cinema Quick Setup Guide Introduction 1

Introduction

The PHAST Landmark Cinema package is a compact and powerful control system

created specifically for home theater applications, allowing wireless control of up

to eight components and combining the functions of eight separate remote controls

into one custom interface. Its fully programmable graphic interface allows complex

command sequences to be automated and reduced to a single button press. The

handheld Viewpoint remote uses omni directional radio frequency (RF) signals to

communicate with the Cinema system, eliminating the need to point a remote

control directly at a device and allowing theater control from up to 100 feet away.

Most home theater installations use a variety of IR-(infrared) controlled devices

such as multi-disk CD changers, VCRs, DVD or Laser Disc players, TVs or

projectors, and surround processors. Of these components, one of the most

important is the surround processor, which handles audio and video switching for

the theater system. Landmark Cinema controls this device via an IR emitter. Up to

seven additional IR-controlled devices can be controlled by a Landmark Cinema

system.

This document provides "quick setup" guidelines for installing a typical Landmark

Cinema system. Detailed User Guides are shipped with each of the Landmark

Cinema components.

Installing a Landmark Cinema System

The Landmark Cinema system was designed for quick and easy installation. This

process can be broken down into the following simple steps:

1. Familiarize yourself with the Landmark Cinema components.

2. Plan out what audio and video devices will be used and if they are IR

controllable.

3. Place all of the controlled devices and the Landmark Cinema devices in the

desired locations.

4. Map out the IR emitter and PhastLink wiring.

5. Make (or purchase) the necessary cables and wires and connect the

components.

6. Program the project with Cinema software, download the program, and test

the system.

Warning

Before making any

connections or beginning any

wiring, read the user guide for

each system component,

paying particular attention to

the safety warnings and

cautions contained therein.

2Introduction Landmark Cinema Quick Setup Guide

Each of these steps are covered in the subsequent sections of this document.

Landmark Cinema Components

Before planning your Landmark Cinema installation, you should familiarize

yourself with the Landmark Cinema components. This section introduces you to

these devices. More detailed User Guides for each device are found in the

Appendix of this document.

PMB-CF2 Mini Cardframe

The PMB-CF2 cardframe (Figure 1) holds two PHAST control cards. One is the

PLC-MCU Master Control Unit, which is essentially a computer that runs on the

Landmark Cinema's PhastLink network. The PLC-MCU runs the project code that

is stored in its 2MB on onboard RAM. The other card used in the Landmark Cinema

package is the PLC-IROUT IR Output card.

Connection to the other Landmark Cinema components (except for the Viewpoint

Touchpanel) is via a PhastLink cable that plugs into a PhastLink RJ-45 port on the

rear of the unit.

There are two PhastLink ports on the rear panel of the CF2. However, in a

Landmark Cinema system, only ONE of the two PhastLink ports is available for

use. The other PhastLink port must be left unused. It does not matter which port

you use.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT terminate the unused PhastLink port. This port is already

internally terminated when the CF2 is in "master" mode (when a PLC-MCU card is

installed). Refer to the PMB-CF2 User Guide for more detailed information.

Caution

Failure to comply with this

restriction will cause the

entire network to malfunction.

Refer to the PMB-CF2 User

Guide for more detailed

information.

Landmark Cinema Quick Setup Guide Introduction 3

The green LINK LED will blink in synch with the green DATA LED at the upper

right corner of the rear panel of the PMB-CF2. This indicates that there is

communication between the PLC-MCU card and the PMB-CF2 cardframe.

The red DIAG LED indicates whether the Cinema project's program is running

from the PLC-MCU's own onboard memory or from an attached PC. If the PLC-

MCU is operating from the program in its own memory, the red DIAG LED will

blink briefly for 1/10 second in each second, something like a heartbeat pattern. If

the PLC-MCU is connected to a PC and the program is running from the PC instead

of the PLC-MCU, the red DIAG LED will blink on and off in equal 1/2-second

intervals.

The green LED on the PLC-IROUT card will only blink when sending an IR signal

out from the card.

PMB-TCC Television Control Center

The PMB-TCC has four IR outputs on the rear panel, as shown in Figure 2. Each IR

output connects to an IR emitter that must be compatible with whatever device(s)

it controls. Connection to the PMB-CF2 is via a PhastLink cable that plugs into a

PhastLink RJ-45 port on the rear of the unit.

The green LINK LED on the front of the PMB-TCC (Figure 3) will blink in synch

with the green DATA LED at the upper right corner of the rear panel of the PMB-

CF2. This indicates that there is communication between the PMB-TCC and the

PMB-CF2 cardframe. The IR-OUT LED on the front of the PMB-TCC will blink

whenever IR code is sent to an IR emitter from the PMB-TCC.

PMB-RF RF Receiver

The PMB-RF RF Receiver provides direct RF communications with the Viewpoint

Touchpanel, allowing omni-directional control from up to 100 feet away.

Connection to the PMB-CF2 is via a PhastLink cable that plugs into a PhastLink RJ-

45 port on the rear of the unit (Figure 4).

Viewpoint Wireless Touch Panels

The PHAST Viewpoint Wireless Touch Panel (Figure 6) provides a fully

programmable graphical control interface with the Landmark Cinema system.

Available with color or grayscale screens, the Viewpoint's graphical interface can

be quickly and easily custom tailored for any client's needs, with many possible

menu levels and screens.

The unit is designed to function as either a desktop or hand-held remote control.

The Viewpoint communicates with the other Landmark Cinema system

components via an RF signal to the PMB-RF RF Receiver. By using RF instead of IR,

the user does not have to point the unit in any particular direction, and it will

function up to 100 feet from the PMB-RF RF Receiver.

Computer

An Ethernet card must be installed in the computer (PC) to communicate with the

PLC-MCU card.

A computer is required to program the system with the Landmark Cinema

software and to download the program to the PLC-MCU Master Control Unit card

in the PMB-CF2 Mini-Cardframe. Connection from the computer to the PLC-MCU

is via a Category 5 10-BaseT null Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector at each end

The T568B wiring standard is used for the pin connections for the RJ-45 connector

at one end of the cable and the T568A wiring standard is used for the pin

connections at the other end of the cable.

Once the program has been downloaded to the PLC-MCU card, the computer may

be disconnected from the Landmark Cinema system and the program will run from

the PLC-MCU card. If programming changes are to be made, the computer must be

reconnected to the Landmark Cinema system and the new program downloaded to

the PLC-MCU.

Selecting Audio and Video Devices

The first step in planning a new home theater installation is to determine what

audio and video devices will be used and making sure that they are IR controllable.

List the devices in the following table, including as much information as possible

about each device, including the required IR emitter type.

Note

If you are connecting the

PLC-MCU to a network hub

instead of a computer, the

cable will use a direct pin-to-

pin connection (pin 1 at one

end to pin 1 at the other end,

pin 2

-to-

pin 2, etc.).

Note

A Landmark Cinema system

will control a maximum of

eight IR-controlled devices.
