The Heart of the APAV Control System

The central controller is the core of every APAV installation. All audio‑visual equipment connects directly to the controller’s output ports, including RS‑232, Infrared, Ethernet, and Relay interfaces, enabling reliable control across a wide range of devices.

The new APAV and APAV‑IR models represent our fifth‑generation control processors. Both units share the same core architecture, with the APAV‑IR adding several enhanced features:

  • A built‑in infrared (IR) learner
  • A front‑panel LCD displaying IP address, button states, system time, and firmware version
  • Four front‑panel programmable push buttons

These additions make the APAV‑IR ideal for environments requiring on‑device feedback, quick access controls, or advanced IR integration.
