Overview
OUT port (for the RC-2C only) and two backlit and label capable buttons. It
sends an RS-232 command—with the push of a button—to a device (such as a
projector, display or switcher) via serial control protocols.
Each button can be assigned with a trigger containing up to four actions for
RC-2 and up to eight actions for RC-2C.
To achieve the best performance avoid interference from neighboring electrical
appliances and position your Kramer RC-2C/RC-2 away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust.
