ST-TUNE
Description
Functional Description
The ST-TUNE is a Crestron remote control network (herein referred to as the
Cresnet system) optimized high-performance AM/FMAVX (Weather radio) and
television (TV) tuner. The ST-TUNE provides professional audio that connects
directly to and is accessed by a Cresnet system. The Cresnet system can store
virtually unlimited radio station and TV channel presets. The presets are available for
recall through Cresnet keypads, remote control devices, and/or touchpanels. The
frequency of the radio station or TV channel being received is displayed on the
ST-TUNE and can also be displayed on a touchpanel.
The ST-TUNE is also available as an international version with the unit
nomenclature of STI-TUNE. All of the features are identical with the exceptions of
TV reception formats and EM and TV input connectors. The ST-TUNE receives

AUDIO (L + R)
This pair of RCA jacks output the left (white center insulator) and right (red center
insulator) channel line-level audio to an audio processor such as the CNX-PAD8.
The audio can also be connected to the audio inputs of a TV monitor, audio switcher
and/or audio distribution equipment.
VIDEO
This RCA jack outputs composite TV video from the ST-TUNE. The center insulator
of this jack is yellow and may be connected to any video device that accepts a
composite input.
AM
This RCA jack is used to input AM radio signals via the supplied AM antenna. The
center insulator of this jack is white. Using a commercially available RCA extender
cable (not supplied but RadioShack® part numbers 42-2352 and 274-874
recommended), the antenna can be mounted outside of a “noisy” equipment rack.
For fabrication instructions of a high-gain AM antenna for use in areas of high
ambience interference or weak reception, refer to Appendix 1 that begins on page 25.
FM
This connector is used to input FM radio signals. The ST-TUNE uses a 75-ohm “F”
Type coaxial connector and the international STI-TUNE uses a 9.5 millimeter (mm)
“lEC” Type connector. The signals may be from cable input (if FM signal is
available), digital satellite receiver, FM antenna, weather station, etc.
TV
This connector is used to input TV channel audio and video signals. The ST-TUNE
uses a 75-ohm “F” Type coaxial connector and the STI-TUNE uses a 11-mm “lEC”
Type connector. The signals may be cable input, digital satellite receiver, TV
antenna, etc.
ST-TUNE Front Panel Indicators and Buttons
There are 12 FED indicators, one digital display, two control buttons, and three
function selection buttons located on the front panel of the ST-TUNE. For the
descriptions, refer to the diagram below and the following paragraphs.

NET
This LED (yellow) indicates that the SIMPL program currently loaded in the control
system has a network device defined at the same NET ID code as the ST-TUNE. The
LED flashes when communication with the Cresnet system and the ST-TUNE is
occurring.
BAND INDICATORS AND DIGITAL DISPLAY
The AM, FM, WX (Weather Radio), or TV indicators contain four LEDs (red) to
display the active band of the ST-TUNE. The digital display shows the radio
frequency or TV channel being received.
RECEPTION INDICATORS
These three LEDs (red) indicate the reception status of the ST-TUNE. The LED
labeled SIG indicates the strength of the incoming EM signal, the steadier and
brighter the LED the stronger the signal. The MONO indicator illuminates when the
mono selector is activated while in the EM, WX or TV band and the SAP indicator
illuminates when the SAP selector is activated while in the TV band (regardless of
whether or not SAP information is being received).
NOTE: The SIG LED provides the most accurate indication of the incoming EM
signal after the ST-TUNE has reached optimum operating temperature
(approximately 10 minutes).
TUNING MODE INDICATORS
These three LEDs (red) indicate the tuning mode of the ST-TUNE. The LED labeled
PRE indicates that the preset mode (the preset functions are determined by the
control system program) is activated. The TUNE indicator illuminates when the
manual tuning mode is activated and SRCH indicates that search tuning is activated.
UP/DOWN CONTROL BUTTONS
During the PRE mode, the up or down control buttons cause the Cresnet control
system to perform a preset or pre-programmed function. If not programmed, these
buttons have no function during this mode. Refer to “Programming with SIMPL
Windows” on page 13 for further information. While in the TUNE mode, the up or
down buttons increment and decrement the radio or TV frequency by one step during
each press. If pressed and held, the ST-TUNE will rapidly tune up or down. If the
selected band supports the search tuning function, pressing either button during the
SRCH mode searches the radio or TV frequency range for the next strong incoming
signal.
NOTE: The SRCH mode performs most accurately after the ST-TUNE has reached
optimum operating temperature (approximately 10 minutes) and is receiving an
adequately strong signals. Refer to the Sense-High and Sense-Low entry of the
“ST-TUNE and STI-TUNE Symbol Input Descriptions” table on page 18 for further
information.
SELECTION BUTTONS
The selection buttons cycle the reception functions of the ST-TUNE. Repeatedly
pressing the BAND button cycles through the AM, EM, WX, and TV bands.
Pressing the MONO button toggles between the mono and stereo reception (for all
modes except AM in ST-TUNE, for all modes except AM and TV in international
version STI-TUNE) and the MODE button cycles through the preset, manual, or
search tuning modes.

When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run
and the load factor of each network unit to be connected must be taken into
consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the load factor of
each unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the load factor of
the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply
network port, the load factor of that unit is the load factor of the entire run. The
length of the run in feet and the load factor of the run should be used in the following
resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.
Resistance Equation
R <
40,000
LxLF
Where: R = Resistance (refer to next table).
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet.
LF = Load factor of entire run (or chain).
The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than
the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the table below.

NOTE: All Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted-pairs. One twisted pair is the
H-24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y
conductor and the Z conductor.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, always twist the ends of the incoming
wire and outgoing wire which share a pin on the network connector. After twisting
the ends, tin the twisted connection with solder. Apply solder only to the ends of the
twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. After
tinning the twisted ends, insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and
tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
Preparation for Use
Refer to the hookup diagram on the next page which shows ST-TUNE connections.
Other than making the power connection last, complete the connections in any order.
NOTE: Refer to the latest revision of the Crestron Network Modular Cable
Requirements (Doc. 5682) when making connections to the ports labeled NET. This
document can be obtained from the Products page (PRODUCT MANUALS,
Software and Wiring Diagrams section) or Downloads page (CABLES and
MANUAL Libraries, search for MODULAR.PDL) of Crestron’s website

INPUT(S) FUNCTION(S
Up, Dn
These signals perform the same functions as pressing the UP or
DOWN buttons on the front panel. NOTE: The front panel buttons
auto-increment after a preset period of time. These UP and DN
signals engage only once on the rising edge. Therefore, in the TUNE
mode, the UP signal increments the station once.
Func
This signal cycles through the AM, FM, WX, and TV bands. The band
is selected on the rising edge.
AM, FM, WX,
TV
Each of these signals selects one of the four bands directly. The
band is selected on the rising edge.
Mode
This signal performs the same function as pressing the MODE button
on the front panel. (The MODE function cycles through PRE, TUNE,
SRCH tuning modes.) The MODE is selected on the rising edge.
Pre, Tune,
Srch
Each of these signals selects one of the three modes directly. The
function is selected on the rising edge. These will change the function
of the UP and DOWN buttons. (Refer to Pre-F, Tune-F, and Srch-F in
the next table for related information.) NOTE: In PRE mode, no
function is performed, PRE mode must be programmed in SIMPL
(typically this would be logic to recall stations; see the ST-TUNEB.ZIP
program examples).
Mono
This signal (not active in AM mode) performs the same function as
pressing the MONO button on the front panel. This function toggles
on each rising edge.
Mono-On,
Mono-Off
These signals select one of the mono modes directly. The function is
selected on the rising edge.
SAP-On,
SAP-Off
ST-TUNE ONLY - These signals turns SAP reception on or off during
TV mode only. This mode is selected on the rising edge.
Sense-High,
Sense-Low
These signals directly adjust the sensitivity of tuning. The sensitivity
is selected on the rising edge. NOTE: SENSE-HIGH allows the unit
to recognize weaker stations during the search mode. (Refer to Sig-
Strength in the next table for related information.)
Disabie-Lci-
Btns
When this signal is high, the local functionality of the front panel
buttons is disabled. (The button presses are still reported into the
program on the output of the symbol.)
Off-Air, STD,
IRC, HRC
ST-TUNE ONLY - These are four modes of TV reception. In each
mode, the channels map to different frequencies. The mode is
effected on the rising edge of the next frequency change.
AM-Station
This analog signal is a number that sets the AM frequency of the
unit. Valid AM numbers are 530d through 1710d. Valid AM
increments are by 10, such as lOIOd, 1020d, etc. NOTE: If not in the
AM mode, the unit will not go into AM mode when this signal is
received on this line. The signal will set that value for the next time
the unit is put into AM mode.
FM-Station
This analog signal is a number that sets the FM frequency. Valid FM
numbers are 8950d through 10790d. The number has an implied
decimal point 2 digits from the end and must be sent in this format.
For example, to go to 102.7 FM, the analog number to be sent is
10270d. FM stations are only valid on analog increments of 5,
therefore 10271d is not valid and will go to the next lowest station,
10270d. NOTE: If not in the FM mode, the unit will not go into FM
mode when this signal is received on this line. The signal will set that
value for the next time the unit is put into FM mode.

WX-Station This analog signal is a number that sets WX frequency. Valid
weather radio numbers are 16240d through 16255d. The number has
an implied decimal point 2 digits from the end and must be sent in
this format. For example, to go to 162.40, the analog number to be
sent is 16240d. Valid WX station increments are by 1, such as
162.41, 162.42. NOTE: If not in the WX mode, the unit will not go
into WX mode when this signal is received on this line. The signal will
set that value for the next time the unit is put into WX mode.
TV-Station This analog signal is a number that sets the TV station (channel).
Valid TV stations are different depending on the mode. (Refer to the
"TV Tuner Specifications" in the "Leading Specifications" section that

Crestron ST-TUNE
Basic Example Program
NOTE: There is no need to recreate the basic example SIMPL Windows program.
The program is available from the Downloads page (EXAMPLES Library) of
Crestron’s website ( www.crestron.com) . Search for STTUNEA.ZIP. New users are
required to register in order to obtain access to the ETP site.
The program provides the ability to select a band, tune a station, and engage
hardcoded presets from a touchpanel. Eor descriptions of the basic example
touchpanel and basic program, refer to the following sections.
Basic Example Touchpanel
The example touchpanel shown below demonstrates the basic capabilities of the
ST-TUNE. The band selection buttons are used to select the desired band and the up
and down buttons tune the frequency. The preset buttons recall station presets that
are stored in the control system SIMPL program.
NOTE: VT Pro-e is required for the ST-TUNE example basic touchpanel. The
latest version of VT Pro-e can be obtained from the What’s New page (VisionTools
Pro-e section) or Downloads page (VTPRO-E Library) of Crestron’s website
( www.crestron.com) .

How the Basic Example Program Works
The example SIMPL program for the ST-TUNE is shown on the next page as a block
diagram. Certain inputs and outputs have been rearranged or omitted for clarity. The
touchpanel and ST-TUNE symbols are common to all (AM, EM, WX and TV)
functions but the diagram shows details the signals and logic for the AM function
only. The logic specifically for the AM functions are OR symbol S-2.1 and analog

initialize symbol S-2.2 (contains the station presets). For the program logic of all
functions, refer to the table below.
In the block diagram, the signals labeled A are feedback to the touchpanel.
Basic Example Function Symbols and Parameters
Advanced Example Program
NOTE: There is no need to recreate the advanced example SIMPL Windows
program. The program is available from the Downloads page (EXAMPLES Library)
of Crestron’s website ( www.crestron.com) . Search for STTUNEB.ZIP. New users
are required to register in order to obtain access to the ETP site.
This example program utilizes most of the features of the ST-TUNE and provides
logic that can be reused for different applications. The opening screen of this
program allows a choice of setup, tuning, preset recall, or preset setup. Refer to the
following sections for brief descriptions of the individual screens.
Setup Screen
The setup screen allows MONO mode to be turned on or off, SAP to be turned on or
off, the tuning sensitivity to be set, and the TV reception mode to be set. (The
Operations Guide - DOC. 5833A
Integrated AM/FM/TV Tuner: ST-TUNE • 21
Integrated AM/FM/TV Tuner
Crestron ST-TUNE
functions of SAP on or off and setting the TV reception mode are not applicable for
the international version STI-TUNE.) The screen also shows the signal strength as a
percentage.
One of the features of the program is customizable presets, the name of the preset
and the station can be customized at runtime. The INITIALIZE ALL PRESETS
button sets all names (labels) to empty, and sets the station to 102.70 EM.
NOTE: It is often useful to put a known quantity into presets, otherwise whatever is
in system memory will be used which could provide undesirable results.
Tuning Screen
The tuning screen allows the station to be selected. The values of each station are
displayed with digital gauges. Note that VT Pro-e allows analog numbers to be
displayed with implied decimal points so that PM and WX stations may be formatted
properly. The stations can be tuned directly with the UP and DOWN BUTTONS.
The auto-repeat logic has been programmed in via the “button-repeater” modules.
A station frequency may be directly entered on the keypad. The display above the
keypad dynamically changes based on the type of station selected. Por example, in
PM mode, the format will be displayed as XXX.XX. In AM Mode, it will be
displayed as XXXX. The station is entered by inputting a full number (such as 8950
for 89.50, 10270 for 102.70) and then pressing ENTER. The station values are
checked after pressing ENTER to be sure that they are within the proper ranges.
Preset Recall
The preset recall screens show the 25 presets. When a preset is selected, it is recalled
to the ST-TUNE.
Setup Preset
The setup preset screen allows the user to customize the presets. The user can enter a
name and the station number. The BAND is retained. Station is retained, and TV
Mode is retained. When recalled. Band, Station, and TV Mode (not applicable for the
international version STI-TUNE) are set up. This allows a preset to be completely
customizable, unlike most radios where there are banks of PM Presets and AM
Presets. The touchpanel contains on-screen help. The Crestron module “Text Entry
for 25 Pields” was used to program the preset names.
