Havent done it myself, but you can enter IR codes from any remote into
the CTouch  to control stuff.

The C_Bus touch screens have an ir receiver built in so have the
Neo switches ( i believe ) and clipsal also have a 2 channel ir
transmitter...But you may need the C_Bus ir reader which is quite
expensive......Dean Barrett or Rob Mouser should be able to confirm the
neo switches ir receive capability

Hi all,

I've been landed a last minute AV system job that's a little out of my
field
and wondered if there was anyone here who might be able to help.

The job ;

- Customer wants "one of those fancy wireless control thingies"
for
their
boardroom.

- There is an existing projector VGA (via DVI), composite & svideo and
IR
control.

- They need to switch between VGA (laptop) and 4 composite video
sources.

- 5 x Switched power  (4 appliance, 1 light)

- 2 x dimmed power (2 light)

- Manual buttons on the wall for the lights


Timescales ;  quote asap, installation if accepted within two weeks.


As far as I see it the two levels of doing this are ;

1) An IR pronto and AV amp.  Not sure on power control yet, I don't
feel X10
is robust enough for use in a boardroom with who knows how much noise
floating round the mains.   Does C-Bus have an IR input ?

2) Crestron or AMX type system.  I have worked with these before,
although
not installed, and know they can do the job.  Although not sure where
to
start with commissioning one and very jumpy about the timescales.



Can anyone out there help ?


Many thanks if you've read this far:-)


Mark.
