Kramer Electronics will be showing its RC-8IR Universal Media/Room Controller at NAB in booth #SL6105. The RC-8IR is the first model in a new Kramer RC series of media/room controllers for training rooms, classrooms, boardrooms and presentation environments. An all-in-one remote control panel for A/V and A/V related equipment in presentation environments, it features Ethernet-based programming and communication capabilities. The RC-8IR is an 8×15 Universal Media/Room Controller wall plate, capable of executing 15 commands from each of its eight backlit buttons. It has eight communication ports – two IR (each 2×2 for a total of four IR emitters with IR learning capability), one Ethernet, two relay contact closure, two RS-232 (bidirectional) and one RS-485 (bidirectional) – delivering up to 120 total commands. The RC-8IR Ethernet port is also capable of communicating with up to five separate IP addresses. In a system with equipment already networked, no additional cables are required.
