Installing video projectors and electronic whiteboards?
You need JED projector controllers!
The JED T460 controller’s text LCD display
shows up to 8 sources by name, audio volume,
warm-up & cool-down times, lamp hours,
and allows screen control, mute & freeze and
aspect ratio control, all with a simple 4-key
keyboard. It can be networked via the T464.
Tired of hand-held remotes, which get lost,
stolen or walk off with the teachers?
JED projector controllers work in classrooms
and lecture theatres to control audio/visual
systems. They connect to the projector via
reliable RS232 signalling and as well, can
select and control audio levels with our T441
& T461 audio units. (Relay and control outputs
can control screens, dippers and room
lighting.)
All units, including the simplest, can sense
room occupancy with a PIR detector, allowing
automatic powerdown thirty minutes
after the room empties, saving power and
lamp life.
The JED T440 is a lower cost controller which
uses LEDs as indicators and has a variety of
labelled keys for sources (Video, Computer)
and functions (Volume, Mute, Freeze).
New: JED T430 two-key … just an ON and
an OFF key. Ultra-simple! Ultra low cost!
