Symetrix has released SymNet xControl, an external control expander for use with the SymNet Edge and Radius family of DSP products for conferencing and paging.
XControl provides an additional 16 inputs, 16 outputs and 2 RS-232 ports for installations where Edge and Radius’s eight onboard control inputs and eight logic outputs require expansion.
For serial communications with third party projectors, camera controls, routers, and lighting either of xControl’s two RS-232 ports may be configured to receive or transmit commands.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) means xControl may be mounted outside of a rack room and connected to the system with a single CAT5/6 cable via a PoE network switch.
XControl can be rack or surface mounted and occupies a 1U space. SymNet Composer open architecture software provides set-up and management of xControl.
