AV Controller
In-wall AV controller for RS-232, RS-485, and IR devices, featuring eight backlit buttons and daisy-chain capability
The C2G50348 AV Controller is a full-featured in-wall solution designed for centralized control of audio/video equipment in classrooms and conference rooms. This active device manages up to two serial devices, such as a projector or display, via dual DB9 RS-232 and RS-485 ports. It can also trigger 12V DC devices, including projector screens or blinds, and manage IR devices like Blu-ray players or document cameras. The controller features eight backlit buttons that can be programmed to send simultaneous bi-directional infrared, RS232, or RS485 commands. For installation, it uses a single gang wall box style plate for easy mounting in standard electrical boxes. Installers can daisy chain up to 99 controllers to scale large deployments and use the software interface (GUI), RS232, RS485, or the IR port for multiple programming modes. The unit also includes a multi-port controller interface adapter to secure cable connections and minimize failure points.
