The AV Controller is a full-featured in-wall solution that is perfect for easy control of all classroom or conference room audio/video equipment; including up to two serial devices, such as a projector or display, a 12V DC triggered device, such as a projector screen or blinds and IR devices such as a DVD/Blu-ray player, document camera and other equipment. Specifically constructed for use in classrooms and conference rooms, this controller is innovatively simple to install, program and operate.

Consolidate control in one convenient location. No more searching for remotes, replacing expensive batteries or fumbling with small remote keys that are in a different position on each different remote. The AV Controller provides the features needed without the cost and complexity associated with "higher end" solutions.

  • Eight backlit buttons with multiple button options
  • On-board timing program making it easy to perform time programming
  • Dual DB9 RS-232 as well as RS-485 ports provides control of up to five devices
  • All buttons can be programmed to send the bi-direction infrared, RS232 and RS485 commands simultaneously to control third party devices
  • Daisy chain up to 99 controllers

While the controller is intended for easy operation, it was designed and engineered for the installer. Multiple options for programming ensure installations are quick and scalable to accommodate even the largest deployments. 

  • Multiple programming modes through the software interface (GUI), RS232, RS485 or infrared (IR) port
  • Multi-Port Controller Interface Adapter for secure connection of cables and fewer potential failure points
  • Easily switch between modem and null modem RS232 transmit mode so no extra cable is required
  • Single Gang Wall Box style wall plate for easy mounting in standard single gang electrical mounting boxes

Note: The 12 Volt DC triggering is designed for use with 2 conductors. Screens, or other devices, which use a dry contact trigger require an adapter to function with this controller. Contact the manufacturer of the screen or other device for adapter options.

Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Old version was good product. Don't like new one We used the old version of this controller and although there was a learning curve to the software, you could easily build your IR Commands to assign to buttons. The new version ONLY allows for Learning IR Commands. If you have a discrete code for power on/power off, or a certain HDMI input, support says there is NO way to load it in. This makes this fairly useless for an integrator. Our typical use is to give buttons to turn a tv/projector discretely ON, OFF or goto a certain input. These commands are not on most factory remotes so the process of loading it onto a secondary device just to learn it in to this is silly, when we have software to program it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Unit does not fit into a standard old work gangbox Unit does not fit into a standard old work gangbox. You will need to either use a surface mount 1 gang box, or cut into your drywall to nail a box to the stud in order to have the clearance required to clear the stupid tabs on the back of the controller. The software offers very little in the way of help understanding its cryptic command set. As noted by a previous reviewer, it does not allow for manual entry of an IR code. It must be learned from the IR receiver on the bottom of the controller. Extremely inconvenient, or at worst, impossible if the command you want to learn isn't on the OEM remote.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Good Concept, Needs some revision As stated in another review, this product does not fit in a wiremold surface-mount enclosure without modifications to both the box and the device. I got it to fit, but I'm not happy with the final results. I also had trouble with the IR programming and control. Some functions (power, input source) worked just fine but other functions (volume up and down) would not respond at all. I ended up changing to RS-232 to control the projector, which worked great at first. But after a few weeks, I started hearing a weird buzz from the sound system. This would only go away if I disconnected the RS-232 cable, leaving me to believe that the power supply to the controller is faulty or failing, but I have not yet replaced it to confirm.
