1. Introduction
The RMC-185 is a cost effective physical controller designed specifically for control of the KMU-100
4K Multi-Camera Processor. The RMC-185 interfaces with the KMU-100 via an RS-422 interface.
The RMC-185 panel style design allows easy control of the KMU-100 with the hard keys giving the
user quick access to main functions of the KMU-100. In addition, you can also use the joystick to
move the selected frame view.
That’s Datavideo; sharing the value!
1.1 Features
•Remote control of up to eight selected frame views.
•Pan, Tilt and Zoom with speed control by joystick.
•Storing multiple presets for frame view settings.
•Full remote control of the KMU-100 via RS-422 connection.
•An LCD display showing setup menu options.
•Three Multiviewer modes (Preview, Motion and Quad)
•Compact design for easy installation
1.2 Device Setup
The RMC-185 works in pair with the KMU-100. First of all, connect the power to the RMC-185
through a power cable. After that, the RMC-185 (RJ-45) is connected to the KMU-100 (DSub) using
an RJ-45-to-DSub cable. Finally, turn ON the RMC-185 device switch to start manipulating your
KMU-100. Please see the system diagram below for the overall system setup.
Note: The communication protocol between the two devices is RS-422.
