Biamp 920-01885-20022 Echo 8EUW

Product Overview

The Biamp Impera Echo 8EUW is an eight-button AV control pad for conference rooms, training rooms, and presentation spaces. In a white EU form factor, it provides a simple, wall-mount interface for controlling displays, sources, and third-party equipment without a separate control processor. As a compact room control keypad, the Impera Echo suits any space where users need reliable, one-touch control. It belongs to the Biamp Impera control range.

Product Description

The Impera Echo is a highly customizable AV control keypad that includes an on-board controller, so no external processor is required for most rooms. Each of its eight mechanical buttons has a corresponding multi-color LED that can be configured in software to show the current room state, which gives users clear feedback at a glance. The control pad drives third-party devices through one bi-directional RS-232/IR port with feedback and one uni-directional RS-232/IR port, and it offers three GPIO channels for sending or receiving logic signals to projectors, screens, and other equipment. Programming is handled in Biamp Project Designer, so the button layout and control logic can be adjusted as a room's equipment changes over time. The Echo can be wall-mounted or installed in the EasyConnect tabletop cable management solution, making it a flexible commercial control pad for both fixed and table-side placement. An expansion bus supports up to two additional devices, such as extra keypads or port expanders, so control can grow with the room. A mini USB connection is provided for system configuration and maintenance, and the pad can send email notifications for lamp and filter hours and other warnings. For a networked version with an Ethernet port, integrators can specify the Impera Echo Plus control pad, and the Echo pairs naturally with the EasyConnect MPX 250 DC in a table-side room build.
