3 Overview
Kramer’s RC-8IR one-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-8IR includes:
•
An Ethernet port for configuration and control
•
Configurable backlit buttons
to set up any supported
•
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-8IR away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
