SECONDHAND SOUND AND LIGHTING EQUIPMENT

Description

Crestron 2-Series Control Systems are the brain of a complete integrated AV or automation solution. Every audio, video, and environmental element of the home, boardroom, classroom, or command center becomes integrated and accessible through the control system. Crestron 2-Series control systems are unmatched for power, performance and scalability, providing the ideal choice for today's demanding control applications.

The RACK2 is designed for large-scale commercial and residential applications requiring maximum options for customization and scalability. It provides an integrated 12-slot Y-Bus card cage that supports any combination of plug-in Y-Bus control cards for IR, RS-232/422/485, relay, digital I/O, analog I/O, digital audio processing, and MIDI. The integrated 4-slot Z-Bus card cage is designed for Crestron's high-speed single and dual-port Ethernet cards.

2-Series Engine

At the heart of the RACK2 is the powerful 32-bit Freescale ColdFire® processor. Crestron's exclusive enhanced real-time operating system makes the RACK2 the fastest, most reliable control system available.

Dual Bus Architecture

The RACK2's unique dual-bus architecture affords ultra fast communications. The 40Mbps Y-Bus provides a high-speed backplane for IR, serial, and other control ports via the 12 Y-Bus control card slots. At a blazing 300Mbps, the Z-Bus supports Fast Ethernet with future support for other emerging technologies via the 4 Z-Bus slots.

Built-in Cresnet® Hub

The Cresnet bus is a simple, yet flexible 4-wire network that provides rock-solid bidirectional communication and power for many Crestron touchpanels, keypads, lighting controls, and other devices. The RACK2's built-in Cresnet hub serves as a repeater, splitter, and wiring block for large Cresnet networks. Each of its eight ports (or segments) has a dedicated driver/receiver, allowing every port to support up to 3000 feet of Cresnet cabling and approximately 20 Cresnet devices.

Cresnet Slave Mode

Selectable Cresnet Slave Mode enables the RACK2 to be configured as a Cresnet slave device, effectively transforming it into a Cresnet expansion module. Such flexibility can offer a cost-effective solution for system expansion, providing a host of additional control ports in a single card cage.

Ethernet

Crestron pioneered the IP-based control system to harness the vast possibilities of Ethernet and the Internet for remote control, monitoring, programming, and diagnostics, and the RACK2 is designed to deliver the world's most advanced IP control solution. A choice of single or dual port Ethernet cards enables a full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet connection with built-in Web server and email client, and support for both static and dynamic IP addressing.

e-Control®2

Crestron's award-winning e-Control XPanel solutions offer the most flexible range of IP control possibilities available. Using a Windows® computer or CE/PocketPC™ PDA device, e-Control 2 provides an amazing control GUI that looks and behaves just like a Crestron Isys® touchpanel.

RoomView

Every Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control system works directly with Crestron's exclusive RoomView Help Desk software for the industry's most comprehensive facility-wide asset management solution.

SNMP

Built-in SNMP support enables network management of Crestron control systems using third-party SNMP software. As an alternate or supplement to RoomView, SNMP allows full control and monitoring from the IT Help Desk or NOC in a format that's familiar to IT personnel.

SSL

All Ethernet-enabled 2-Series control systems support SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), the industry standard for protecting sensitive network communications.

NAT

The RACK2's onboard NAT (Network Address Translator) acts as a firewall and router to facilitate the configuration of a private control LAN with a single-point connection to the client's LAN ( Dual-port Ethernet card required
