introduction

KD-MC1000 is a master controller for the Compass Control® Pro system with six multi-function ports, one dedicated RS-232 port, one 3pin relay, and built-in IR learner. The multi-function support RS-232, IR emitter output, IR learning input, voltage trigger, or voltage sensor modes. Compass Control® Pro is programmed using Compass Navigator™ PC software suite, and uses iOS devices as the user interface. Each iPad acts as an independent brain for the system, storing all command info, graphic files, and variable status, and KD-MC1000 or other master controllers are used to send IR, RS-232 or voltage control to the integrated devices within the system.

Features

  • iOS Backbone: First major control system built from the ground up using Apple’s iOS devices – iPad® and iPhone®

  • Total 8 Ports: 6 MCP35™ Multi-Function I/O Ports, 1 Relay/Contact Closure Port, 1 dedicated RS-232

  • Multi-function 3.5mm Ports: Can be programmed to be one of the following functionality - IR in any direction, bi-directional RS-232, Voltage Level output, Voltage Sensor input, PCM Audio sensor input or Composite Video Sensor input

  • Built-in IR Learning: Front-facing IR window enables learning of IR codes from external IR remotes

  • Local Area Network: Direct wire to LAN via RJ45

  • Relay Control: Control external equipment with one set of switchable contacts. Any multi-function 3.5mm port can be converted to Contact Closure using external Key Digital® KD-CCXR200 Converter

  • Compass Navigator™: PC Editor allows modular or custom UI programming

  • Device Configuration: Allows all functions and integration into Compass Project via IP and Compass Navigator™ software

  • Fully Integrated: Complete control of any Audio, video, HVAC, lighting, shades or security devices via IR, RS-232, IP, or voltage control

  • No need for PC or Mac in the system: All system performance is controlled by KD-MC1000 Master Controller and iOS controller

  • Compass Alliance™ Partners: Pre-loaded code sets and 2-way modules may be dragged and dropped into system.

  • Scheduling: Schedule and execute repeating events from iOS device and/or KD-MC1000

Additional Features

  • USB Support: USB port for firmware upgrades and initial setup
  • Secure project backup: Backup is stored on Key Digital server ensures uniquely named projects may be retrieved for the intended iOS controller
