NI-3100
The NI-3100 (FG2105-05), part of the NI Series of Master Controllers, satisfies the control and automation
features common in a larger area or multiple rooms, which may include the integration of a larger number of
devices including VCR and DVD players, projectors, lighting, thermostats and other electronic equipment. In
technology-driven environments, this solution allows for the future addition of more devices and control
capabilities.
The NI-3100 offers higher performance with a faster processor, up to 256 MB of onboard RAM and a 256 MB
CompactFlash card. For smaller business and home applications, the NI-3100 includes just the right mix of
ports and features.
