AMX Debuts New Line of CE Series Universal Control Extenders Expanding Control to Third-Party Devices
HARMAN Professional Solutions, the global leader in audio, video, lighting and control, today introduced the CE Series, a new family of professional-grade Universal Control Extenders. The new line delivers AMX-quality hardware control to any system that supports IP connectivity, making these units ideal for corporate spaces, colleges and universities, and government facilities.
AMX debuted four models, including CE-IO4 with 4 I/O Ports, CE-IRS4 with 4 IR/S Ports, CE-REL8 with 8 Relays, and CE-COM2 with 2 Serial Ports.
An open control API makes it simple to integrate CE Extenders with any IP control systems or apps and the integrated web interface enables configuration without specialized applications. HARMAN’s HControl protocol enables auto-discovery by next generation AMX control processors and other HARMAN Professional products. PoE power and a compact footprint simplify installation and concealment.
“We couldn’t be happier to introduce this new line of Universal Control Extenders,” said Nick Czapla, HARMAN Professional Control Solutions Product Manager. “These boxes make it super simple to extend control well beyond typical point-to-point connections to just about any device within reach of the IP network – it really is that easy. The open control API and web interface also make integration quick and painless.”
