The Techconnect Control puts the end user at the centre of AV system design. It is what control should be for end users: simple. It has eight simple buttons that are each highly programmable. 

Pressing the "ON" button can simultaneously send activation commands through IR, RS-232, or a 12v trigger to multiple devices. It eliminates complexity by displaying only everyday functions to users, reducing the need for technical support calls and preventing the loss of remote controls. 

All of this is conveniently housed within a secure Techconnect module, making it an ideal solution for presentation rooms or meeting spaces.

 

 

Modes

You can activate basic learning mode by holding down a specific combination of buttons (3+4). In this mode, you can teach the device a single IR code for each button, all without requiring a computer. (Note: not possible with Epson projectors) 

For more advanced programming options, connect the device to a PC and utilize software to assign RS-232, IR, and 12v trigger functions to each individual button.

 

Digital Signage Shutoff

An onboard clock allows you to create schedules. For instance, you can schedule the automatic shutdown of digital signage in a store every night at midnight.

 

Cloud Software

Vision's browser-based programming software is all new, using the same simple approach as the old software, but much more powerful. 

When you create a configuration file it is now by default stored in our cloud (password protected). This file will be cached in your browser, and you can easily share a link with colleagues for collaborative work. Or you can still store a local copy of the configuration file.

 

Pronto Compatible

You can import pronto formatted IR codes.

 

Crowd-Sharing

If an AV installer enters new device codes and they are verified to work, everyone will have access to those codes. 

 

IR Learning

IR codes can be added by using the original remote pointed at the back of the module, or by copying and pasting the code in the software.

 

IR Emitters

Two external IR emitters are included; one with a 10m cable, and one with a 200mm cable which can be extended with a normal minijack cable.

Note: Projection screens that come with remote controls often use RF (not IR). This control module does not support RF. 

 

2 x RS-232

On the rear of the module are two RS-232 ports. It comes with a short 9-pin serial cable which plugs into the phoenix port on the Control.
This device this only sends codes, and does not read them. 

 

12v Trigger

Many projector screens can be controlled with a 12v (2.4w) trigger voltage. 

 

Multi-Action Buttons

Each button can transmit multiple codes. So for example pressing the ON button can send commands to all AV devices simultaneously.

You can also change the way codes are sent; you can send all codes allocated to a button all at the same time, or set delays to individual codes. 

For some applications you can send the codes sequentially, so the first press sends the first command, the second press sends the second command, etc. Or for volume holding the button down sends the codes repeatedly. 

 

Backlit Beeping Buttons

You can select from red, green, or blue backlight options, and assign them to individual buttons. Additionally, if desired, each button can produce a beep sound when pressed.

 

Pre-labelled

The buttons come pre-labelled for quick installation.
