BC4X1 Pro Automation Controller
Control and automate displays, video sources, audio processors, amplifiers,shades, lighting and much more. Any device controllable by IR, RS232 or IPcan be connected. Voltage sensing, routable IR, bidirectional RS232 l, analog inputs and digital inputs/outputs allow for a wide array of automation and control possibilities.
Project Editor Software allows code-free device set-up, macro development and totally customizable GUI creation. GUIs are rendered in HTML so any web enabled device including smart phones, touch screens and PCs can be used as control interfaces. The BitWise Touch app enables an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to control the system as well.
Even though the system can operate as a standalone controller, bidirectional RS232 capability allows it to also be an easy add on to existing control systems. Add another room, more equipment, or just use it to add web enabled interface capability.
Imagine simplifying a home theater system to the point that putting a DVD into a DVD player automatically turns on the desired components (TV, surround receiver, etc.) and switches all of those components to the appropriate audio/video inputs. All you have to do is control the DVD player. It's all made possible by our powerful BC4 Project Editor Software.
Applications include Conference Rooms, Digital Signage, Sports Bars, Houses of Worship, and Event Centers.
Features:
- Built-In Macro Storage created with our powerful BC4 Project Editor Software
- IR library built in with 348,000 codes to make installation quick and easy
- Two configurable GPIO ports (general purpose input/output)
- Digital Input capability (does not take up IR port or require additional hardware)
- Sense Voltage (video sensing) or evaluate equipment state (on/off)
- Digital Output for control of turning equipment on or off
- Analog input to connect directly to line level audio or composite video to trigger events or evaluate equipment state
- Configurable input parameters allowing tailored sensing parameters to the device generating the signal.
- An internal GPIO port can be configured to act as a counter or frequency input to measure activity.
- Four IR ports and an IR blaster. Route IR to any port for specific equipment control or blast it to a rack of equipment
- Two SPDT relays for control of shades, projector screens, amplifier power up or turning lights on and off.
- Bi-directional RS232 for direct equipment control or to work with other automation platforms
- Power over Ethernet 802.3af for locations with no available power or in tight spaces that do not allow for an additional power supply.
- Field upgradeable firmware allowing for upgrades without sending the product back to the factory.
