A boardroom, classroom or huddle space needs a display switched on, an input selected, a screen lowered and the lights set — and it needs that to happen from one button rather than four remotes. A full rack-mount processor is overkill for that; the RMC3 does it for a fraction of the footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eWhat makes it genuinely useful is the mix of interfaces. Modern AV gear takes IP control, but the installed base does not: a projector on RS-232, an amplifier on IR, a motorised screen on a contact closure. The RMC3 speaks all of it, which is why these units are still deployed long after the displays around them have been replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 24px;\"\u003eOne thing to be clear about: this is a control \u003cem\u003eprocessor\u003c\/em\u003e, not a plug-and-play appliance.
