Chapter 1. Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the
RK2
in-wall universal controller.
The RK2 is an advanced universal system controller that mounts
in a wall. Its design maintains the perfect balance between a
customizable touchpanel and frequently used hard buttons. At 2.5
inches the LCD is small enough to blend into a room’s interior, yet
it provides enough resolution to display a complete graphical
interface. The RK2 interface is fully programmable, making it easy
to display custom buttons, text, icons, and animations.
The RK2 can directly control almost any audio/video component,
lighting system, etc. up to 1000 feet away using its infrared output
port. Programming is easy and convenient thanks to the
Windows® based TheaterTouch Designer
™
software.
Because RTI’s remote control products are sold only through
professional installers/programmers, and never directly to
consumers, it is our philosophy to not incorporate programming
capability directly into our products. Instead, we are committed to
providing our dealers with the hardware and software tools that
allow them to create re-usable programming databases and
templates in the most efficient and reliable way possible.
The RK2 can be used as a stand-alone device or as part of an
expandable central control system. When used with the available
RTI accessory devices, the RK2 is capable of infrared routing,
relay control, power sensing, and RS-232 communications for
advanced control.
COMPATIBILITY NOTE
The
RK2
and
TheaterTouch Designer
software are compatible with
infrared (IR) commands with carrier frequencies between 15KHz
and 460KHz, as well as those commands that do not use a carrier.
This covers virtually all of the remotes that exist to date.
