M1
Central Controller
The M1 is a central controller and the hub of the APAV control system.
It connects to every device and component of the control system through its output ports, expansion cards and proprietary 4 wire bus.
Powered by a 32 bit microprocessor the M1 is capable of performing high speed intricate logic calculations.
An embedded Linux OS manages the I/O operation of all ports including four RS232 output ports on DB9 male, 4 RS232/422/485 on Phoenix screw block, 8 Relay, 8 Digital I/O and 8 Infrared/one-way serial outputs.
The M1 also includes an internal web server with Browser Support 3.0 software.
Control system programs created in Vision and Logic Master proprietary software are loaded into the M1 by network. The M1 serves the control system program as HTML pages accessible from any web browser enabled device.

I-4/8 Controller Interface Series
Control Interface Series
New for 2014!
The I-4 interface unit adds 4 each Infrared/One-Way serial, Open/Close relay and I/O output control to the Q8 central controller. The I-8 doubles that amount.
Connection to the Q8 is by 3-wire UC Link.
Both I-4 and I-8 use the same enclosure as the Q8 also employing the same DIN Rail and/or surface mounting methods.
Notable features include internal web based IR Learner with signal verification blaster.
The interface series can also communicate to 3rd party control systems by UDP (User Datagram Protocol).

KP2
Smart Projection System Control Panel

The KP2 is a Smart Projection System Control Panel to control projectors, presentation switchers, flat panel displays and other devices by RS232 command string protocol.
The front panel features 11 buttons. Eight can be programmed to send a single RS232 command string to turn projectors and other devices ON and OFF and to switch between source inputs.
Screen UP, DOWN and STOP close and open relay contact closures to control motorized projection screens and projector lifts.
ON and OFF buttons can be programmed to send up to 4 RS232 command strings with delay timing. Programming the ON button to send the command to turn on the projector followed by a 5 second delay and then sending the command to switch to the projector’s HDMI input is one example where this feature is useful.
In Linkage Mode pressing the ON button sends the RS232 power on command(s) to the projector followed by closing the DOWN relay to lower a motorized projection screen or lift. Pressing the OFF button sends the RS232 power off command(s) followed by closing the UP relay to raise the motorized projection screen or lift.
Markets include churches, schools, small meeting, training, presentation and conference rooms.
