Overview  
The RC-2C/RC-2 is a 1 Gang 2-button controller1 with an RS-232 port, an IR  
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.  
1 Available as a 1 Gang wall plate for the USA or a 1 Gang wall plate for Europe (in two sizes: 8.6cm and 8cm)
