4.3 Defining the RC-63D and RC-63DL

The Kramer RC-63D is available as a 2 Gang wall plate for the USA or a 2 Gang

wall plate for Europe. It features 6 front panel buttons designed in two groups;

one group of 2 buttons, and another group of 4 buttons. Each group can be

programmed according to the user's requirements. The:

• RC-63D has the DISPLAY and SOURCES labels printed on the unit

• RC-63DL is the default room controller included as part of the

SummitView™ Standard Kit Box and the SummitView™ Essentials Kit Box

and described in that user manual, and has an LCD label, letting you program

the required group label, as well as rolling text on the display

The RC-63D also includes:

• A configurable digital volume control adjustment knob with five LEDs

• Two relays for the simplified and centralized control of room functions (such

as lighting, closing blinds, screen settings, and so on)

• An IR output, a bidirectional RS-232 port, and two K-NET ports

• An IR-learner for the customized control of external sources, memorizing the

IR commands from different remote transmitters

A USB port is included for programming the RC-63D via a computer.
