Introduction

The lights dim, the DVD starts, and 15 minutes into the movie you hear the doorbell ring. What do you do? You may reach for the remote, reset the room lights, Pause the video (or Mute the volume, if you're just watching TV) and proceed to the front door.

Or, if your A/V system is being controlled by URC's Advanced Network System Controller, these events can be programmed to happen for you automatically.

A device called a Voltage Sensor can be connected to your doorbell and a URC MRX-10. When the doorbell button is pressed, the device senses the voltage and triggers a "Macro" (i.e., coordinated series of interconnected commands) that Pause the movie, Raise the lights and prepare you to receive your visitor.

Imagine the value of this solution for those with impaired hearing. The doorbell rings and simultaneously issues unmistakable visual alerts. Another way URC helps you control the experience.
