All controllers are equipped with an IR capture sensor and are able to capture IR codes. Captured IR codes can be used in all types of controllers, touch panels, and touch panel controllers.

The capture procedure consists of the following steps:

- Connect the capture unit and the PC with Cue Visual Composer to the same Network.
- Arrange the IR remoter and the capture unit as described below.
- Pay attention to setting the proper distance between the capturing unit and the remoter according to the needs of the capturing unit.
- Start Cue Visual Composer and go to the appropriate driver and command.
- Set the IP address of the unit used for capture.
- Push the Start Capture button in Cue Visual Composer and then press the appropriate button on the IR remoter.
