Does not work with 10.04 LMCE in 1080p. Leaves 1" blank space on left side of screen. TV handled fine by stock 10.04 (full view area). Sent xorg.conf to developers for evaluation.<br />
<br />
When HDMI passed through the SR6006, no problems with video.<br />

==== Home Audio Zones ====<br />
<br />
18 zone house layout for central audio. Zones have 1-4 speakers (dual channel for single speakers) and all wiring is home-run to the main networking closet. The AV stack is situated next to the networking and speaker wire runs.<br />

<div>Sold by Home Theater Direct (http://www.htdirect.com).<br />
<br />
Provides matrix switching 6 input: 6 ouput<br />
<br />
<br />
== Example Control Code provided by manufacturer ==<br />
<br />
Example of C Code written to turn the Volume Up in one Zone of the MCA66 Controller through the RS232 Serial Port<br />
This particular example was written for use in a Lantronix Network-to-RS232 Controller, but it should still be helpful.<br />
Note: Although this was written to send commands to the MC66 & MCA66 Controllers, aside from specific differences in the calls, it should also be useful in understanding how to write a similar C program for the Lync systems.<br />
<br />
void sendVolUpToHW(BYTE zoneNum) <br />
{<br />
sendCMD_0x04(zoneNum, 0x09);<br />
} <br />
<br />
void sendCMD_0x04(BYTE zoneNum, BYTE data) <br />
{<br />
BYTE cmd[6];<br />
cmd[0] = 0x02;<br />
cmd[1] = 0x00;<br />
cmd[2] = zoneNum + 1; // hardware is one-based index<br />
cmd[3] = 0x04;<br />
cmd[4] = data; <br />
cmd[5] = cmd[0]+cmd[1]+cmd[2]+cmd[3]+cmd[4]; <br />
serialSend(0, cmd, 6); <br />
nice();<br />
} <br />
<br />
static int serialSend(int chan, BYTE *buf, int len) {<br />
TCB save; <br />
CCB *saveCCB;<br />
BYTE *ptr;<br />
int i;<br />
/* Save the current associated stream */<br />
memcpy(&save, ActPro, sizeof(TCB));<br />
saveCCB = ActCCB;<br />
/* Set to new channel and send data */<br />
ActPro->CCB_Ptr = &AllCCB[chan];<br />
ActPro->Chan_Nr = chan;<br />
ActPro->IO_Ptr = AllCCB[chan].IOPtrs;<br />
ActCCB = &AllCCB[chan];<br />
FlushIn();<br />
sendblk(buf, len);<br />
/* Restore old stream */<br />
memcpy(ActPro, &save, sizeof(TCB));<br />
ActCCB = saveCCB;<br />
return(len);<br />

== Main AV stack ==<br />
<br />
Equipment:<br />
* 1x 7.1 Home Theater Receiver (TBD, likely Marantz SR-6006)<br />
* 3x MC-66 Multi-Zone Controller ([http://www.htd.com/Products/mid-level-whole-house-audio/MC-66-Multi-Zone-Controller link])<br />
* 3x DMA-1240 High Efficiency Multi-Channel Amplifier ([http://www.htd.com/Products/mid-level-whole-house-audio/DMA-1240 link])<br />
<br />
== Current Issues ==<br />
<br />
=== RS-232 interface to MC-66 ===<br />
<br />
Will need to write a GSD interface for the MC-66 if not already supported.</div>
