What is the Kramer RC-74DL control keypad?
The Kramer RC-74DL is a 12-button Ethernet and KNET control keypad with a digital volume knob and three LCD displays, listed here in the US-size white design frame (part number 85-709770290). It can run a room on its own as a master room controller, join a multi-unit KNET system, or operate inside an Ethernet system managed by Kramer Site-CTRL. A white frame suits lighter wall finishes in boardrooms, classrooms and meeting rooms.
How does the Kramer RC-74DL work?
The RC-74DL puts a 12-button user interface and the room's control ports in one in-wall unit. Over Ethernet it connects to Kramer Site-CTRL for remote AV control, site management and monitoring, and to LAN-connected control gateways when more devices need control. Over KNET it connects to master room controllers and auxiliary keypads.
Twelve RGB-color backlit buttons take custom-labeled, removable caps, three 8-character LCD displays label button groups, and a digital knob handles volume. The rear panel provides one RS-485, three RS-232, two GPI/O and two KNET ports on terminal blocks, two IR emitters and four relays, so the keypad can switch displays, lower screens and trigger room systems directly. An IR sensor and mini USB port support setup. Kramer notes limited remaining supply, with the model discontinued once global inventory is depleted.
The Kramer RC-74DL in gray is also available, and the Kramer SL-1N Ethernet room controller adds serial, IR and relay ports for larger rooms.
