Introduction
The SmartCommander system brings the control of a matrix switch to remote workstations,
eliminating the need to control the switch locally. Each workstation is equipped with a simple switch
panel, allowing the user to select the desired output with the press of a button. The system also
allows for a master to control the switching functions, overriding the remote control if necessary. The
SmartCommander system can be used with any of SmartAVI’s RS-232 compliant matrix switches.
