CR-CS2 - IP‑based controller with relay, IR and RS‑232/422/485 control, 16 user macros, IR learning, PoE support

IP‑based controller with relay, IR and RS‑232/422/485 control, 16 user macros, IR learning, PoE support

CR‑CS2 is an IP controller designed to centrally coordinate AV devices and heterogeneous systems. It allows you to control multiple devices (screens, projectors, matrix switches, amplifiers, lights, curtains, etc.) from a single point, even if they use different protocols.

The unit offers 16 customizable macros, stored internally, which can be recalled via Web GUI, Telnet, or via the 8 dedicated trigger inputs. Each macro can send commands via network, IR, relay, or RS‑232/422/485 serial port, allowing you to manage screens, sources, matrix switches, and other devices with a single interface.

The device also integrates an IR learning function, useful for acquiring and replicating standard remote control codes, simplifying the control of non-IP devices. Management can be performed via Web GUI, Telnet, or RS‑232 console, offering flexibility during configuration. Thanks to PoE support, the CR‑CS2 can be powered directly from the network switch, reducing cabling and simplifying installation.
