Who Should Use This Document

This document explains how to configure an AMX control system for a

Kaleidescape System. Kaleidescape provides a module specifically designed for

controlling Kaleidescape Systems using AMX controllers.

The installer must be familiar with AMX NetLinx Studio, the NetLinx programming

language, AMX Touch Panel Design (TPDesign4) software, and Kaleidescape

products.

This document revision corresponds to kOS version 6.1 and Kaleidescape AMX

module version 8.4.0.

Getting Started with AMX

Kaleidescape provides both a control module and touch panel templates for AMX

controllers.

Before beginning a project or revising an existing program for an AMX system, the

Kaleidescape module and templates for AMX controllers must be downloaded and

imported. See Downloading and importing the Kaleidescape module for AMX on

page 19 for information on downloading and importing the Kaleidescape module

and templates.

For information on installing and configuring the Kaleidescape System, refer to the

Kaleidescape Installation Guide (www.kaleidescape.com/go/install) on the

Kaleidescape website (www.kaleidescape.com).

Overview of Kaleidescape Module and

Templates

Kaleidescape provides a single control module with three methods for using an

AMX controller:

 Onscreen display (OSD) interface

 Standalone touch panel (SATP) interface

 Keypad controls

The Kaleidescape module is designed to control all zones in the Kaleidescape

System via a single connection.

Touch panel controls are an integral part of the Kaleidescape experience.

Kaleidescape touch panel control templates can be incorporated into AMX projects

without major modifications. These templates are complex and any modification

can remove important functions or introduce bugs.
