Device Control Systems

Make Today’s Complex Presentation Technology Reliable & User-Friendly

PixiePlus™

The PixiePlus Device Control Module provides a simple, standardized control interface for projectors, monitors, display devices, or other AV devices in a compact single-gang form factor. A customizable interface allows for a variety of configurations from two to eight total buttons. The unique design gives you the ability to tailor the control interface to the exact requirements of the devices being controlled. This design not only provides a professional looking control system, but allows you to eliminate any buttons that may confuse the end user. Seven button insert modules are included with each PixiePlus. You choose the three modules that match your remote control design.

IR programming without PC. With standalone IR learning, the PixiePlus can learn the IR remote control codes of your devices in minutes. No programming is necessary, so leave the laptop at home. Duplicate rooms are a snap. Simply teach one PixiePlus the codes from the remote control, and any other PixiePlus will wirelessly clone its configuration in seconds.

Protect your investment. Display devices are expensive. If users inadvertently leave the display on, you will unnecessarily have costly lamp replacements. The PixiePlus offers three options for automatic shutdown of the device. If the display has discrete power commands (ON/OFF) the PixiePlus can be configured to turn the display off after a certain period of inactivity (based on time since the last key was pressed). If you use the optional real-time clock module the PixiePlus can be configured to turn off the device at an exact time of day, or a hybrid approach can be used that enables the automatic shutdown timer at a specific time of day giving you the best of both approaches. The real time clock module is accurate to within five minutes per year, will keep time through power outages, and supports daylight saving time.

Protect your system from unauthorized use. At your option, the PixiePlus can be configured to only allow user control after a security code has been entered. This security code is a sequence of buttom presses that you can configure to any combination of keys.

Easy to install. Use the PXE-BIK50 Installation Kit (optional) to install the PixiePlus into a single-gang standard wall box with a Decora™ wall plate. A three conductor cable between the PixiePlus and the controlled device carries power and control to a supplied terminal block that allows IR control.

PixiePro IR Modular Control Panel

The PixiePro (PX2-MP-IR) is a modular, infrared-learning audiovisual control system. It ships ready to surface-mount, or fits in a four-gang backbox.

No programming necessary; uses SP Controls' proven Pixie technology to learn and replicate commands for almost any IR-controllable device. PixiePro smartly controls up to eight source devices. Optional modular inserts (included) support IR-controllable devices, including DVD players, lifts, screens, document cameras, switchers, amplifiers, etc.

Ships with one IR emitter for control of a single device. Control of multiple devices requires the purchase of extra emitters (part no. PXE-EMIT).

• Optional access-control security is configurable with up to six-digit PINs.
• Automated shutdown timer protects expensive projector bulbs.
• Illuminated buttons provide audible feedback and can be configured to adjust to ambient lighting conditions; can be programmed with multiple IR codes for macros and other common automation tasks.
• Full configurations can be copied ("cloned") between PixiePro units in seconds.

Networked Room Controller

The Networked Room Controller is a low-profile, low-cost, programming-free control system that can be configured, controlled, and monitored via a friendly Web interface. It provides relay, IR, RS-232, and general purpose sense ports. Control may be extended with PixiePro Control Puck peripherals. The PixiePro Modular Panel may be used as a front-end button interface.

Pixie™ IR Modular Remote Controls

The Pixie is a perfect fit for AV installations with transient users. It eliminates the confusion caused by wandering remotes, dead batteries, and complex projector control interfaces. An untrained user can use the Pixie to control any display device with confidence and ease.
• The back-lit user interface is available in a choice of LED colors, and Pixie comes with different colors of interface for easy customization.
• Modular button inserts guarantee that the Pixie is compatible with any available remote control.
• Setup is a snap with IR learning, no programming necessary.

One Pixie can download a completed configuration from any other in mere seconds without the need for any wired connection. Just hold two units face to face.

Source Control/Transport Control Module

The Transport Control Module can control as many as 5 media devices such as VCRs, DVD players, TV tuners, and more. Only the buttons used for each device will light up, so there is no room for user error. Easy to set-up and configure, the TCM+ can learn virtually any remote control in a matter of minutes.

PixiePlus™ Programming Wand

The Programming Wand connects to the PixiePlus controller through it’s IR interface and allows for more sophisticated features, such as RS232 control. There is no need to remove the controller from the wall! The programming wand connects to your PC with USB and contains an application that allows you to perform more complex configurations, including specifying RS232 strings.

Simplifies configuration and cloning. Simply plug the programming wand into your PC and the application will start. Specify the codes to be sent for each button. Disconnect the programming wand and take it to another PixiePlus you wish to configure. Hold the wand up to the PixiePlus, press the trigger, and presto- you’re done. Repeat for each room with the same configuration- without having to carry your PC around!

Security Features allow the user to modify or change programmed schedules for auto shut downs and security lock outs.

All this at the lowest cost of any AV control device on the market!
