Overview
The SL-1 is a highly versatile controller that acts as an all-in-one extended
remote control panel for control of A/V equipment—especially projectors
and associated equipment—in any room (such as classrooms, boardrooms,
or auditoriums). It streamlines operations and simplifies control by
integrating audio, video, and computer-video sources into a centralized
system.
The SL-1 Master Room Controller features:
 2 bidirectional RS-232 ports to control AV equipment such as
projectors, LCD and PDP displays, power amplifiers, switchers and
scalers
 3 relay contact closure ports to control other room items related to the
AV system such as raising and lowering drapes, the screen or the
projector
 IR control - 1 input (3.5mm) and 2 outputs (terminals blocks)
 IR Learning that learns commands from any IR remote
 Compatibility with Kramer Site-CTRL™ software for network remote
control and management over the Ethernet port
 A K-NET™ control channel for connecting compatible user interfaces
and supplying power and control data over a single cable
 A USB port for loading device firmware
 Flexible control using Ethernet, K-NET™, IR sensors and external IR
commands
To achieve the best performance:
 Use only good quality connection cables 1
 Position your Kramer SL-1 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust

The Ethernet connection of the SL-1 allows you to perform all control
functions of the SL-1 over the Internet using a PC running the Kramer
Site-CTRL control program.
To connect the SL-1 to a network:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the SL-1 to the Ethernet port on a network hub
or network router, via a straight cable with RJ-45 connectors.
2. At the other end, connect the Internet to a PC running Site-CTRL.
After connecting the Ethernet port, you have to install and configure it. For
detailed instructions on how to install and configure your Ethernet port, see
the K-Config Configuration Guide1.
