AMX Launches Universal Remote Control System — Including Compatibility With Extron and Crestron
HARMAN Professional Solutions’ AMX Brand introduced the CE Series at InfoComm 2023, a new family of professional-grade Universal Control Extenders. The new line delivers AMX-quality hardware control to any system that supports IP connectivity, making these units ideal for corporate spaces, colleges and universities, and government facilities.
AMX debuted four models, including CE-IO4 with 4 I/O Ports, CE-IRS4 with 4 IR/S Ports, CE-REL8 with 8 Relays, and CE-COM2 with 2 Serial Ports. And, an open control API makes it simple to integrate CE Extenders with any IP control systems or apps and the integrated web interface enables configuration without specialized applications.

PoE power and a compact footprint simplify installation and concealment.
