Kramer Site-CTRL is a powerful A/V assets management tool. It offers real-time monitoring and control of Kramer
Master controllers (such as the Kramer RC-74DL and SL-12) installed in an A/V site and the A/V equipment connected
to them. The Kramer Site-CTRL downloadable version can monitor and control up to 100 Kramer Master controllers.
Kramer Site-CTRL :

Generates a single page summary of the entire installed A/V site

Reports the communication status for each room

Reports the status of the local display devices

Reports the remaining lamp life for projectors

Supports easy access to the built-in Web pages of Master controllers via Web Access

Raises alerts and sends e-mails when prompted by a user-defined special event
The easy-to-use Kramer Site-CTRL consists of three main tabs: Room List, Settings (used by the system
administrator mostly) and Event Log.
For remote operation of more room specific functions, the user can easily access —via the Room List display—the
dynamic Web pages (via the Web Access software) of the Kramer Master controllers (for example, the Kramer SL-12)
installed in the monitored rooms.
Using the Kramer Site-CTRL with the Kramer Master room controllers lets the installer and the user easily achieve
effective control over the A/V site.
