2 Overview
The Kramer RC devices are a series of highly sophisticated machines, used
for controlling A/V equipment and room items in media rooms. An RC
system includes A/V equipment (for example, DVD players, audio amplifiers
and switchers) and media room items, such as blinds, lights and so on. Before
operating an RC system
1
• Carefully plan the installation layout
, you have to:
• Install the drivers of the peripheral devices
• Configure your RC device
• Assign the macros to the RC device
• Install the RC system
The RC Configuration Software V1.26.0.38 is used to configure the following
room controller families (RC-6, RC-8, RC-7 and VP-23RC)
2
:
RC-6IR RC-6IRE RC-8IR RC-8IRE
RC-6IRP RC-8IRP
RC-8RK RC-8RKL
RC-7B RC-7BE RC-7RL RC-7RLE RC-7LC RC-7LCE
VP-23RC
Since each Room Controller includes different ports
3
, you will find that not
all the available commands apply to your Room Controller.
Table 1 defines the sections that apply to each Room Controller:
