Programmable 8-Button Control Panel as Wall-Plate, Black
This is a programmable 8-button control panel as wall-plate. Every button is programmable and works either individually or together with another one. The panel features 3x RS232, 1x RS485, 3x IR, 2x relay and 1x miniUSB ports. It is able to control any device via one of the protocols, such as projectors, screens, TVs / monitors, AV extenders / splitters, etc. It is an easy-to-use control device for presentations in show rooms, classrooms and boardrooms as well as for complicated AV installations, as in broadcasting or media production environments. Please note: The first RS232 port and the second infrared port share the same connection and can thus not be used at the same time. The same issue applies for the second RS232 and the third infrared port, which are also "linked".

Mini USB Connector:
- Communication with a PC using a comprehensive and intuitive software to program the buttons
- Transmit the infrared data when learning IR (Optional)

Infrared sensor port:
- Receive and learn the IR code, to build a personalized IR database

Software and Programming:
- Installation: Suitable USB drivers must be installed (normally included in Windows). The software can run "stand-alone", without any installation
- Connection: The control panel can be connected to the computer via USB or RS232 for programming and to default the functions of every button
- Action sets: Add an action to the action list, then add the desired resulting events to this action to make the action execute the events
- The firmware is updatable via USB

Software buttons:
- There are three different "key colors" available in the panel setup of the software - white, blue and yellow
- The white buttons represent the 8 physical buttons on the front panel itself
- The blue and yellow software buttons can be setup with a special function or action set and then assigned to one of the white buttons
- This means, one physical button can trigger a nearly unlimited set of commands and actions

Note:
- This control panel can activate different ports at the same time, allowing every button to send RS232 / RS485 commands, IR code and control the relay at the same time.
- RS232 port 1 and IR port 2 share the same port, the detailed use depends on the individual software settings. When used in RS232 mode, only a unidirectional transmission without receiving at the same time is possible.
