Remote Keypad Controller for audio/video routing switchers

The Remote Contoller features:

  • Pass-through RS232 Controller
  • Breakaway Audio or Video
  • Store/Recall Switching Patterns
  • Full Matrix or Single Output Control
  • Two-Line LCD Display

The Remote Controller is an RS232 terminal device which is designed to control the Vortex series of audio/video routing switchers from remote locations via three-wire hookup or modem.

Keypad may be cascaded for multiple site controls; router instructions are passed along from upstream terminals or drivers (such as the Windows control software).

The keypad is mounted in a 5" x 7" ABS housing, approximately 1.5 inches high. It has two DB9 connectors, one male for RS232 out (down-stream) to the routing switcher which is to be controlled, and one female for RS232 in from another keypad controller or other RS232 terminal device.
 

Power is supplied from a wall plug-in module which provides power at 8vdc to 12vdc at approximately 250 mA.
