BPC(I)-8: onCue®Basic Presentation
Controller
Introduction
The BPC-8 and the BPCI-8: onCue®Basic Presentation Controllers are compact, wall-
mount keypad controllers with eight assignable buttons for controlling a single projector, a
flat screen display, or a source device. The BPC-8 and the BPCI-8 can also be configured
to control a complete room presentation system equipped with a display device, a
motorized screen or lift, and a controllable source such as a DVD player.
The BPC-8 and BPCI-8 are functionally similar. For simplicity within this guide, the term
“BPC-8” is used except where noted.
For more information on the BPC-8, refer to the BPC(I)-8 DO Guide (Doc. 7194) at
www.crestron.com/manuals.

Applications
The following diagram shows the BPC-8 in a typical application:

Configuration Files
These software configuration files are developed on a PC running the onCue BPC-8
software configuration tool. More information on the onCue product and instructions for
downloading the onCue BPC-8 Tool can be found at the onCue software website
(www.crestron.com/onCue).
The files are first uploaded to the handheld IR Learner & Programmer BPC-HPLIR (sold
separately). The BPC-HPLIR is then used to upload the files to the BPC-8 via the supplied
optical cable (refer to the following diagrams). Using this method, the user can add control
for any device that uses an IR remote, including projectors, displays, and DVD players. The
onCue BPC-8 Tool also allows for control of projectors via an RS-232 connection.

Button Caps
Configuration files developed for the BPC-8 typically require the button caps to be changed
or rearranged on the unit. The following figures illustrate the preinstalled button caps, the
five additional button caps supplied with the BPC-8, and the twelve button caps in the
Accessory Kit (sold separately).

Operation
Basic Control
The BPC-8 is shipped with buttons preconfigured to control power, volume, mute, and
source select functions for a variety of display devices. Programs for these devices are
already stored in the BPC-8 memory.
NOTE: If a display device is not stored in the BPC-8, use the BPC-HPLIR IR Learner &
Programmer (sold separately) to develop a program for the device. For more information,
refer to the latest version of the BPC-HPLIR Supplemental Guide (Doc. 7109) at
www.crestron.com/manuals.
To select a display device, place the BPC-8 in Installer mode, and then enter the designated
code for the device. To enter codes, use the BPC-8 buttons that correspond to the
numbering arrangement shown below.
With the BPC-8 connected to the BPC-8-IMC and power applied, verify that the green
LEDs are on and then complete the following steps:
1. Press the top left and the bottom right buttons (buttons 1 and 8) at exactly the
same time and hold for 10 seconds. The back light LEDs (green) will blink twice to
confirm entry into Installer mode.
Entering Installer Mode
NOTE: If the buttons do not blink, the buttons were not pressed at exactly the
same time.
2. Enter the code for the chosen device. The backlight LEDs blink three times to
confirm the device’s program has been entered. The unit then exits Installer mode.
3. Press the BPC-8 power button (button 1) to verify operation. Verify that the
display’s power state changes. If the power state does not change, return to
Installer mode (step one), enter the next available code for the device (if any), and
repeat step two.
The BPC-8 exitsInstaller mode in the following instances:
•If the top-left and bottom-right buttons are simultaneously held down for 2 seconds
(the backlight will blink twice to confirm exit)
•After a 5-minute timeout (the backlight will blink twice to confirm exit)
•After a valid configuration is entered (the backlight will blink three times to confirm
exit)

Advanced Control
The BPC-8 is also capable of accepting custom configuration files that provide flexibility for
more complex installations. To create these files, complete the following procedure:
1. Use the Crestron Toolbox™ software onCue BPC-8 Tool to create a custom
configuration.
2. Upload the configuration to the BPC-HPLIR.
3. Connect the BPC-HPLIR fiber cable to the port on the bottom right of the BPC-8.
4. Press TRANSFER on the BPC-HPLIR.
This method allows the user to add control for any device that uses an IR remote, including
projectors, displays, and DVD players. The onCue Tool also allows for control of projectors
via an RS-232 connection (requires 4-Conductor Link Cable, CBL-SERIAL-DB9F-6 or
equivalent, sold separately).
For more information on creating custom configuration files, refer to the latest version of the
BPC-HPLIR Supplemental Guide (Doc. 7109) at www.crestron.com/manuals.
