Product Overview
An Ethernet-powered (PoE) control gateway, the Kramer FC-28 is capable of plug and play deployment over customer Ethernet LAN for remote control of customer controlled devices via bidirectional RS-232, IR, GPI/O and relay control connections. Multiple control clients can be IP-connected to the FC-28 control gateway for simultaneous control of two (2) RS-232, as well as four (4) IR controllable devices, such as AV scalers, video displays, DVD players, audio amplifiers, screens, sensors, shades, door locks, and lighting.
Main Applications
- Remote IP control of RS–232 and IR-controlled devices
