Introduction
The Techconnect Control puts the end user at the centre of AV system design. It is what control should be for end users: simple. It has eight simple buttons that are each highly programmable.
Pressing the "ON" button can simultaneously send activation commands through IR, RS-232, or a 12v trigger to multiple devices. It eliminates complexity by displaying only everyday functions to users, reducing the need for technical support calls and preventing the loss of remote controls.
All of this is conveniently housed within a secure Techconnect module, making it an ideal solution for presentation rooms or meeting spaces.
Features
-
Modes
Activate learning mode by holding down buttons 3 and 4. In this mode, you can teach the device a single IR code for each button, all without requiring a computer (not possible for Epson projectors).
For advanced programming connect to a PC and use software to assign RS-232, IR, and 12v trigger functions to each individual button.
-
Digital Signage Shutoff
An onboard clock allows you to create schedules. For instance, trigger the automatic shutdown of digital signage in a store every night.
-
Cloud Software
New browser-based programming software uses the same simple approach, but adds many features.
Configuration files are now by default stored in our cloud. This file will be cached in your browser, and you can easily share a link with colleagues for collaborative work. Or you can still store a local copy of the configuration file.
-
Pronto Compatible
You can import pronto formatted IR codes.
-
Crowd-Sourcing
If an AV installer adds new codes to the software library that work, everyone will have access to those codes.
-
IR Learning
IR codes can be added by using the original remote pointed at the back of the module, or by copying and pasting the code in the software.
-
2 x IR Emitters
On the rear of the module are two IR ports. Two external IR emitters are included; one with a 10m cable, and one with a 200mm cable which can be extended with a normal minijack cable.
Note: Projection screens that come with remote controls often use RF (not IR). This control module does not support RF.
-
2 x RS-232
On the rear of the module are two RS-232 ports. It comes with a short 9-pin serial cable which plugs into the phoenix port on the Control.
This device this only sends codes, and does not read them. -
12v Trigger
For activating relay devices with a 12v (2.4w) trigger voltage, such as motorised projection screens.
-
Multi-Action Buttons
Each button can transmit multiple codes, of multiple types. So for example pressing the ON button can send commands to all AV devices simultaneously.
-
Delay Commands
Send all codes allocated to a button at the same time, or set delays to individual codes.
-
Simultaneous / Sequential / Repeat
Change the way codes are sent. Use sequential for input toggle, so the first press sends the first command, the second press sends the second command, etc. Or use repeat for volume, where holding the button down sends the codes repeatedly.
-
Backlit Beeping Buttons
Select from red, green, or blue backlight options, and assign them to individual buttons. Additionally, if desired, each button can produce a beep sound when pressed.
-
Pre-labelled
The buttons come pre-labelled for quick installation.
