INOGENI SHAREREMOTE SHARE2/2U - Control keypad

Product Overview

The INOGENI SHAREREMOTE is an external RS-232 control keypad designed for the INOGENI SHARE2 and SHARE2U camera mixers, allowing presenters or operators to switch and mix camera sources using physical push buttons without touching a laptop or room PC. It connects to the SHARE2 via a single RJ-45 cable or to the SHARE2U via a Terminal Block to RJ-45 connection, enabling control from a distance. The SHAREREMOTE is the purpose-built physical switching control solution for INOGENI SHARE2/2U camera mixing systems in conference rooms, boardrooms, and broadcast environments.

Product Description

In multi-camera conference room and presentation environments using the INOGENI SHARE2 or SHARE2U, operators often need to switch or mix camera views during a live meeting without interrupting workflow. The SHAREREMOTE provides a compact, desktop-mountable keypad that communicates with the SHARE2 or SHARE2U over RS-232, triggering source selection and mix commands via the push buttons on the top of the unit. This removes the need to access software controls during a presentation, making it practical for managed rooms where a dedicated operator controls the video feed. The SHAREREMOTE is designed for reliability and simplicity: no configuration software is needed beyond connecting the device to the appropriate SHARE2 or SHARE2U port. The compact enclosure suits table-top placement in a presenter position or can be positioned at an operator station. TAA-compliant and manufactured in Canada, the SHAREREMOTE is appropriate for government and regulated commercial deployments. For rooms using the SHARE2, connection is made over a single RJ-45 cable. For SHARE2U installations, the connection uses a Terminal Block to RJ-45 cable path.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which INOGENI devices is the SHAREREMOTE compatible with?

A: The SHAREREMOTE is designed exclusively for use with the INOGENI SHARE2 and SHARE2U camera mixers. It is not compatible with other INOGENI products such as the TOGGLE or CAM300.

Q: How does the SHAREREMOTE connect to the SHARE2?

A: For the SHARE2, the SHAREREMOTE connects via a single RJ-45 cable to the RS-232 port on the SHARE2. For the SHARE2U, the connection path uses a Terminal Block to RJ-45 cable.

Q: Does the SHAREREMOTE require any software configuration or drivers?

A: No. The SHAREREMOTE is a direct hardware control device. Once connected to the SHARE2 or SHARE2U via the appropriate cable, the push buttons are immediately operational with no software setup required.

Q: What functions can be controlled from the SHAREREMOTE?

A: The SHAREREMOTE allows operators to select camera sources and control the mixing functions of the connected SHARE2 or SHARE2U. The exact button functions correspond to the mixing configuration of the parent device.

Q: Is the SHAREREMOTE intended for presenter self-operation or operator use?

A: Either. The compact form factor and simple push-button interface make it suitable for a presenter to self-operate at a table position, or for a dedicated AV operator to manage camera switching from an operator station.

Q: Is the SHAREREMOTE TAA-compliant?

A: Yes. The SHAREREMOTE is TAA-compliant and manufactured in Canada, making it eligible for U.S. federal and regulated commercial procurement alongside the SHARE2 and SHARE2U.

Q: Do I need a SHARE2 or SHARE2U to use the SHAREREMOTE?

A: Yes. The SHAREREMOTE is an accessory and requires a SHARE2 or SHARE2U camera mixer to function. It cannot operate as a standalone device.
