Abstract: A hospitality media system includes a radio frequency (RF) coax network and a plurality of set-top boxes (STBs). The STBs are connected to the RF coax network and each STB has an identifier such as a room number, equipment type, or service level. A content source broadcasts media content to the STBs utilizing the RF coax network, and an update server distributes software data to the STBs. The software data causes a particular STB to perform a media function customized according to the identifier of the particular STB. The update server may periodically distribute the software data to the STBs when at least one STB is required to be updated and may broadcast the software data to the STBs using the RF coax network. Updated software data or passkeys generated according to the STB identifiers may be used to support customized content-on-demand media functions for the particular STB.

Abstract: A system includes a translator device that is configured to receive, using a pre-programmed native mode of operation, a first barrier actuation code transmitted by a transmitter according to a first code format. The translator device then analyzes the first barrier actuation code and verifies that it is a valid code. When a valid code, the translator device saves the information contained in the code, and creates a second barrier actuation code at least in part from information contained in the first actuation code and transmits the second barrier actuation code according to the second code format, which is different from the first code format. A barrier operator is coupled to the translator device and a barrier.  The barrier operator has a receiver apparatus and the receiver apparatus receives the second barrier actuation code. The barrier operator determines whether the second barrier actuation code is valid, and when the barrier actuation code is determined to be valid, actuates the barrier.
