Programming IR Remote Controls |
Using an infrared signal it is possible to control the audio-visual equipment plugged into your ClickView Live from the ClickView Live Manager and ClickView Live Player.
The audio-visual equipment you are using as your composite source must be a remote controlled device in order to use this feature.
Firstly you will need to create a profile for each device you wish to control with ClickView Live, these profiles are called 'Stream Devices'.
Creating a 'Stream Device'
| 1. |
Select 'Settings' from the main menu of the ClickView Live Manager.
NB: You must be logged in under the Admin user account in order to access 'Settings'. |
| 2. |
Select the 'Remote Control Settings' option. |
| 3. |
Select a device that most closely resembles your equipment from one of the four audio-visual buttons. It does not have to be exact. |
| 4. |
Select a stream from the drop down list. |
| 5. |
Name the device. We recommend using the device brand name and/or model number. |
| 6. |
Select 'Apply' to create the new 'Stream Device'.
The new Stream Device will appear under the audio-visual equipment buttons in the 'Remote Control Settings' menu. |
Training the Actions

Select 'Train' to open the training options window. |
| 4. |
With the remote of the device
pointing towards the front of ClickView Live, click the 'Train' button to train the new action.
You will be prompted by on-screen commands as to when you must press the corresponding remote control command button.
NB: Because not all remotes are the same, this process may take a couple of attempts and you may need to try different distances with the device remote. |
| * |
If you have multiple devices that are the same make and model, you can select an action from the 'Existing action' drop down list. |
| 5. |
Select 'Apply' to save the action. If the action is trained correctly a tick
will appear and it will be added to the existing actions list. You can test the action was successfully trained by selecting 'Test'. |
| 6. |
The action will now appear under the 'Stream Device' in the 'Remote Control Settings' menu. |
Using the IR Remote Control Actions
