projectors, LCD and PDP displays, power amplifiers, switchers and
scalers

AV system such as raising and lowering drapes, the screen or the
projector
• IR control - 1 input (3.5mm) and 2 outputs (terminals blocks)
• IR Learning that learns commands from any IR remote
• Compatibility with Kramer Site-CTRL™ software for network remote
control and management over the Ethernet port
• A K-NET™ control channel for connecting compatible user interfaces
and supplying power and control data over a single cable
• A USB port for loading device firmware
• Flexible control using Ethernet, K-NET™, IR sensors and external IR
commands
To achieve the best performance:
