Scaling Up Your Control Capabilities

PoE
Integrated Applications
RS-232 control

Additional GPIO for Control

Capabilities

Control Inputs

Configure each of the 8 analog control inputs with either 1 potentiometer or 2 switches for flexible usage.

Logic Outputs

Use the versatile 16 logic outputs to drive LEDs, trigger external relays, or control contact closure ports.

RS-232

Configure either of the 2 RS-232 ports to issue or receive commands to or from third-party control systems.

PoE

Keep installation simple with single cable connectivity utilize power over Ethernet eliminating the need for external power supplies and a half-rack form factor to mount where convenient.

Key Features

Powered via PoE with switch or injector
Applications include adding push-to-talk capability and LED activity indication in conferencing and paging applications.

RS-232 projector, camera, and lighting control.
Multiple xControls may be combined.
Half-rack form factor design for mounting in optional 1U rack tray or surface mount with optional bracket.
