HID Media Control
Use the HID Media Control component to control media application playback, including volume level, on a remote PC or Mac computer connected to a Q-SYS device that supports the HID Media Control.
Q-SYS Device Support
The HID Media Control is an inventory component included with these Q-SYS devices:
- Q-SYS Core 110f processor
- NV-32-H Network Video Endpoint
Requirements
- You need a USB A/B cable to connect a PC or Mac computer to the Q-SYS device.
- The HID Media Control is designed to control a remote computer – connected to a Q-SYS device supporting the HID Media Control – from another Q-LAN-connected device, such as a computer or touch screen controller. Do not use the component directly from the computer connected to the Q-SYS device, as unexpected behavior can occur.
Configuration Overview
- Connect the USB A/B cable's rectangular 'A' connector to a USB port on a PC or Mac computer.
- Connect the other end of the cable, the square 'B' connector, to the USB B port on the rear panel of the Q-SYS Core 110f processor.
- On another PC connected to the Q-SYS network, drag the HID Media Control component into your schematic from the Core 110f inventory tree.
- Press F5 to save your design to the Core and run it.
- Double-click the component to open the control panel. Use the buttons to remotely control playback within a Core-connected computer media application.
Note: The Core-connected computer's OS determines which media application is controlled.
