This room includes a podium, a side table, a projector, speakers, a projector screen, room
blinds and so on, as follows:
On the side table:
• Three sources connected to VS-411XS HDMI inputs (for example,
the Room PC, or a plugged-in device to connect to the K-Spider
adapter cable).
• A KT-107 touch panel supporting Kramer aware and connected to
the LAN.
• Under the side
table:
• VS-411XS and FC-28 IP control gateway.
• On the podium:
• A BYOD source connected, via K-Spider adapter cable, to
WP-871xr DGKat transmitter that is connected to the PT-872xr
receiver.
• Remote buttons connected to the remote contact closure pins on the
VS-411XS.
• Next to the door
near the entrance:
• Remote buttons connected to the remote contact closure pins on the
VS-411XS.
• In the room:
• VS-411XS HDMI output is connected to a projector via PT-3H2 HDMI
extender, and audio output is connected to the Tavor 5-O speakers.
• The window blinds and projector screen are connected to GPIO/relay
pins on the FC-28 IP control gateway.
• LAN connections
• VS-411XS, FC-28 IP control gateway, KT-107, and a Kramer
Network control system.
VS-411XS, built-in Maestro configuration enables almost immediate control over these
elements for different scenarios, once all the elements in the room are connected (with
minimal settings via built-in Maestro automation embedded web pages, such as device-
specific IP addresses, see Configuring Device Control and Automation on page 41).
For example, the remote button on the podium, connected to the contact closure pin on
VS-411XS, is defined as a trigger for starting a presentation.
Once the button is pressed, the PresentationStart, built-in script, runs a series of actions
such as unmuting the audio and video outputs, turning the projector ON via CEC, lowering the
screen rolling the blinds down, etc.
In this example, the projector is turned on via the CEC-TV port, relays on the FC-28 are
activated via the Non-serial-onGW port (by defining the gateway IP address), and audio and
video are unmuted by the internal port.
Factory default triggers, Scenarios, actions and ports are listed in Default Automation settings
on page 62.
In addition to remote button triggers, the room can also be controlled via KT-107 touch panel
buttons (see Maestro Kramer Aware Touch Panel Control on page 14), or a control station
included in Kramer Network management (see
www.kramerav.com/product/kramer%20network).
