Chapter 1. Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the M2 universal system controller. The
M2 combines the power and flexibility of a graphic LCD display
with an ergonomic design that permits effortless one-handed
operation. This design overcomes the need for a compromise
between form and function. Sleek and perfectly balanced, the M2
is infinitely flexible and expandable.
The M2 takes complete control of your home electronics, replacing
all other remotes. It features an intuitive, easy to read LCD that
can display custom text, graphics, symbols, and icons. In addition
to the backlit display, 33 “Hard” keypad buttons allow easy access
to frequently used functions.
Programming is easy and convenient thanks to the Windows®
based TheaterTouch Designer
™
software. Because RTI’s remote
control products are sold only through professional
installers/programmers, and never directly to consumers, it is our
philosophy to not incorporate programming capability directly
into our products. Instead, we are committed to providing our
dealers with the hardware and software tools that allow them to
create re-usable programming databases and templates in the
most efficient and reliable way possible.
The M2 is capable of both infrared and radio frequency output.
Optional RF receivers are available for transmission through walls
and cabinets. The RF receivers connect to an RTI control system
for the ultimate in control reliability and flexibility. RTI control
systems can provide many advanced features such as IR routing,
local macro execution, power sensing, and RS-232 control.
COMPATIBILITY NOTE
The M2 and TheaterTouch Designer software are compatible with
infrared (IR) commands with carrier frequencies between 15KHZ
and 460KHZ, as well as those commands that do not use a carrier.
This covers virtually all of the remotes that exist to date.
