MRC88m & XT1  
Multi-Room Controller and Tuner Integration  
DESCRIPTION  
This document describes how to integrate the XT1 with the MRC88m, using Dragon-Drop software.  
For this example, we are going to connect the XT1 to the MRC88m as Source Input 1, and are going  
to use the COM RS232 port of the MRC88m for communications with the XT1.  
PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS  
Connect the RED and WHITE analog stereo connectors from the XT1 to the appropriate SOURCE 1  
inputs of the MRC88m.  
Connect the RS232 port of the XT1 to the COM port of the MRC88m, using the RJ45-to-DB9  
connector included with the XT1. No additional adaptors are necessary.

1) Start Dragon-Drop.  
2) Select the New Project item under the File Menu (“File->New Project”).  
3) Open the Audio/Video Distribution project type and select “MRC88m”.

CONFIGURING THE MRC88m KEYPAD TO CONTROL THE XT1  
The XT1 is controlled by using the new “Metadata” Internal Commands. These new commands can  
be used to control the XT1, XIS100, the XMusic, and the iPort. See Figure 1 at the end of this  
document that describes how each Metadata internal command maps to the XT1 function.  
1) Just above the Virtual Keypad (under the “Keypad” tab), select “Zone 1” from the drop-down box.  
2) On the Virtual keypad, select SRC1.  
3) On the right-hand portion of the Dragon window, make sure that the “Internal Commands” tab near  
the bottom of the window is selected.
