Overview

3Overview

Kramer’s RC-8IRone-gang wall plate is a highly versatile controller interface that acts as an all-in-one extended remote control panel for control of A/V equipment—especially projectors and associated equipment—in any room (such as classrooms, boardrooms, or auditoriums). It streamlines operations and simplifies control by integrating audio, video, and computer- video sources into a centralized system.

The RC-8IRincludes:

•An Ethernet port for configuration and control1

•Configurable backlit buttons2 to set up any supported3 command

•Two bidirectional RS-232 wired serial ports, for universal display (for example, projectors) and switcher control, and one RS-485 serial port

•Two relays for the simplified and centralized control of room functions (such as lighting, closing blinds, screen settings, and so on)

•Two IR control ports

•An IR-learner for the customized control of external sources, receiving the IR commands from different remote transmitters without the need for an external IR remote control unit

•Macro mode operation, for programming up to 15 commands with the press of a single button, and summing up to a total of 120 commands

•Support for firmware upgrade

To achieve the best performance:

•Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise- levels (often associated with low quality cables)

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your Kramer RC-8IRaway from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
