1. INTRODUCTION
This IP Master Controller is a powerful and exible solution for controlling
multiple AVoIP (Audio/Video over IP) based extenders within same
network. The user only needs to install this unit into the same local
network as the extenders (transmitters and receivers) to easily dene
and congure channel routing selections (including video, audio, and a
variety of control interface types) using the WebGUI. Without the use of
this centralised control unit, each transmitter and receiver pair would only
be able to function in a point-to-point capacity.
Additionally, this unit supports controlling and conguring the matrix and
video wall modes of connected AVoIP units. The settings of all connected
transmitter/receiver units, including IP conguration, compatibility
settings, and extender status are clearly displayed within the WebGUI.
A trigger input interface is also provided to allow the easy addition of a
remote control keypad, or other trigger-supporting products, which can
be installed within a podium or table in a conference room or classroom.
This interface can allow the user to activate stored macros with the simple
press of a button. Standard control is available via WebGUI (remote or
local), RS-232, Telnet and IR Remote.
