KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

Overview

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 control1

•Configurable backlit buttons

2to set up any supported3

•Two bidirectional RS-232 wired serial ports, for universal display (for

example, projectors) and switcher control, and one RS-485 serial port

command

•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

1 Of up to five machines with unique IP addresses

2 Six buttons for RC-6IR, and eight buttons for the RC-8IR

3 To be configured by the system integrator only
