If I have to rewrite this thread one more time because RemoteCentral didn't "verify" my E-Mail address, I'm going to jump off a bridge, in which case this question doesn't need to be answered.

I have a CablesToGo / ImpactAcoustics "3Play" component video switcher, linked below.

[Link: impactacoustics.com]

I have tried learning the 4 buttons from the manufacturer's remote; "POWER", "1", "2" and "3", but they are not learning well on either pronto's or MX-900's, and work intermittently. After a slew of E-Mails, this is all the information I can get from the manufacturer.
------------------------------------------

Our engineer has confirmed on following regarding the hex code for P/N 40324. Please kindly understand those data are what we can reach now. Thanks.

CTG P/N 40324 Hex Code

CUSTOM CODE : 866B
Power : 0x1EE1
CH1 : 0x02FD
CH2 : 0x06F9
CH3 : 0x08F7

------------------------------------------

What do I do with these codes, or what am I missing? I would need to program the codes onto an MX-900, so either an .mxg or .ccf file would be fine. Help!!

Bump - HELP!!

I learned them directly into an 850, so it should be no different on the 900.....

I made sure I doubled up the codes in the macros to ensure they worked each time.


Good Luck

CI

I've tried learning the codes into multiple MX-850's, MX-900's, Pronto's, an MX-3000, a Xantech SPL64G, and the B&K CK1.2's, all of which worked "okay" at best. Back-to-back codes in a macro work even worse. Thats why I'm looking at getting to the source and obtaining a perfect IR code, but I don't know what exactly I need, or am missing.

Oh come on, you guys are the most knowledgeable people when it comes to IR codes... No one has a few mins to give me a quick education on what I'm missing to get this to work? I've had to learn Chinese just to get as far as I have, somebody please help me out so I can get further with this piece.

I'm in the same boat. Could use some help.

Does anyone still in this thread have the learned signals (whether working or not) in some form you can email (a ccf file or and mxd file etc.)?

I can't deduce enough from the information in the first post of this thread. Probably I can deduce more by looking at learned signals.

I could never get mine to learn, so I have no code at all.

I managed to get these codes....somehow. My control4 picked them up, but they don't work for me. Maybe they can help someone else out, or maybe someone can tell me why I can't seem to use them.

The structure and timing of those signals are NEC1 protocol (with device 134.107) but the modulation frequency is impossibly low.

I'm not sure what the real modulation frequency should be. I assume it is not the standard NEC frequency of 38000 or most IR learning systems would learn it without problems. On the other hand, I don't expect that the frequency encoded in the signals above is correct.

You can try various frequencies using the MakeHex program and the NEC1.irp file. First edit the .irp file to change to Device=134.107
Edit the frequency and try the results.

MakeHex will generate 256 different signals labeled with function numbers 0 through 255. The three input functions you want are 2, 6 and 8. The power function is 30.

The device might not care about modulation frequency (despite its remote sending some strange frequency). Here are those four signals at the standard NEC frequency of 38000.

It is fairly likely that the correct modulation frequency is no modulation at all. MakeHex can generate them that way if you edit Frequency=0 in the .irp file. But some Pronto models and most other software that can import Pronto Hex fail to understand unmodulated signals in Pronto Hex. Try it and see if your software will import it.

The non working learned signals in post 9 are at 4860 hertz. Probably that is wrong (after all, they don't work). But if you set the .irp file for Frequency=4860 you'll get cleaner versions of the same signals. Maybe those will work.

Another possibility is to try a frequency around 1900. That would encode a modulated signal with only one pulse per burst, so it would be identical to an unmodulated signal. Most Pronto models can't process a frequency that low, but I think some can and maybe the devices discussed in this thread can import that (I really don't know).

IIUC (post 3 of this thread), chicagoinstaller has working signals in a file for an MX-850. I have an MX-850 and great software for examining IR signals, so if he emails the file to me I can test and see exactly what it is sending for working signals. Of course that still may be hard to import into other devices if it is outside the range in which the software for those devices understands Pronto Hex.

One more idea: I took the bad learns posted above and adjusted them just enough that they could be transmitted (the way they were learned couldn't even be transmitted). The results are:
