ProntoSerial Extender

The extender is connected via a standard RJ-45 ethernet port to the network.

Addressable IR ports enable control of the same type of devices in a rack independently (by the same extender). Typically this is the case with multiple set-top boxes to distribute content throughout the house. Every device is asigned its own dedicated IR port. As a result the device will only receive the IR codes that are intended for this device and not for any other. Without addressable IR codes, every device will always receive all sent-out IR codes.

RS232 (also known as serial communication) is a more secure control mechanism than traditional IR control. The 4 serial ports on the extender allow the control panel to control up to 4 different devices with a serial interface such as advanced A/V Receivers, projectors or DVD players, or lighting control systems.
