CP1100_B
Wall-Mounted IP Control Host with Volume Knob, Programmable Keys, RS-232, Relay, LAN and PoE
Professional IP-Enabled Control Terminal
CP1100_B is a compact wall-mounted control host designed for professional AV, room automation and centralized equipment control. It provides one rotary volume knob, one lock key and eight programmable silicone command keys for intuitive on-wall operation.
The device supports web-based configuration, allowing system integrators to assign commands to the knob and keys according to the controlled equipment on site. Control output supports LAN command control, dual RS-232 serial ports and dual relay outputs, making CP1100_B suitable for a wide range of project environments.
CP1100_B can be powered by DC 12V or through PoE. When connected to a PoE switch, the product can operate without a separate local power adapter, simplifying cabling for wall-mounted installation.
