Frequently Asked Questions - SEN-VID UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL

What is the SEN-VID Video Sensor?

The SEN-VID is a video sensor by Universal Remote Control that detects an active composite video signal and transmits a control signal to compatible URC MRX units to trigger events such as dimming lights or switching inputs.

Which devices are compatible with the SEN-VID?

It works with URC MRX units that have sensor ports, including models MRX-1, MRX-2, MRX-4SEN, and MRX-10. It is also compatible with Complete Control and Total Control systems.

How do I install the video sensor?

Connect the composite video output of your source device (e.g., cable box, DVD player) to the sensor's RCA input. Then plug the 3.5mm connector into a sensor port on your MRX unit. The sensor is powered by the MRX via the 3.5mm connection.

What do the LED colors mean?

A steady green LED indicates the sensor is powered and connected. An amber LED indicates that a video signal is being detected and transmitted.

Can I extend the cable between the sensor and MRX?

Yes, you can extend the connection up to 120 feet (36.6 meters) using a two-conductor cable.

What if my source device doesn't have a composite video output?

If your device lacks a dedicated composite output, you can try using the green component (Y) output as a composite signal, though video quality may vary.

How does the sensor trigger events?

When a video signal is detected, the sensor sends a signal to the MRX unit. A custom installer can program the MRX to respond by executing a series of commands, such as dimming lights or changing inputs.

Does the sensor require external power?

No, it is powered directly from the MRX sensor port via the 3.5mm plug, which supplies 5VDC.

What is the warranty period?

The SEN-VID comes with a 2-year limited warranty valid in the United States. It covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal usage.

Where can I get technical support?

For technical support, visit www.universalremote.com or call URC Customer Service at [phone]. Support is available for products purchased from authorized dealers.
