Control of the matrix is made easy through multiple options, including the front panel, IR (Infrared), RS-232, TCP/IP, and a user-friendly web GUI (Graphical User Interface). Enjoy the convenience of controlling your system in the most suitable and accessible way for your installation.
The CMX44CS is built with reliability and compatibility in mind, providing comprehensive support for major control brands through third-party drivers.
