XIS100 & MRC88m Integration 

DESCRIPTION 

This document describes how to integrate the XIS100 with the MRC88m, using Dragon-Drop 

software. 

For this example, we are going to connect the XIS100 to the MRC88m as Source Input 1, and are 

going to use the COM RS232 port of the MRC88m for communications with the XIS100. 

Physical Connections 

Connect the RED and WHITE analog stereo connectors and the YELLOW composite video connector 

from the XIS100 to the appropriate SOURCE 1 inputs of the MRC88m. 

Connect the RS232 port of the XIS100 to the COM port of the MRC88m.  This connection requires a 

NULL modem.  A common cabling setup would be a straight-thru RS232 cable with a NULL modem 

adaptor and a gender-changer adaptor.  The Xantech MRC44 Expansion cable (part # 05913560) 

can be used to replace both the modem adaptor and the gender changer. 

Creating a new MRC88m project 

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”. 

4) Select the “Blank Project” Option, then click “OK”.  You should now see the MRC88m basic 

keypad.
