DCM1-e Zone Mixer
The DCM1e is a new Ethernet version of the popular DCM1 Digital Control Zone Mixer. The addition of an ethernet port on the rear panel of the new DCM1e allows its own on-board web-server to be connected via an RJ-45 socket to an independent or existing switch or router, enabling the new DCM1e to be configured and controlled remotely by any mobile device, or any PC connected to the same network.
Using the web browser of any mobile device, users have "limited installer defined" controls via simple and intuitive interface pages. Power users are provided with additional installer defined controls, whilst Installers have administrator status via a password protected "Configuration Options" screen.
Multiple devices can connect and operate the DCM-1e concurrently, providing complete flexibility and control for up to eight (8) separate zones, if required.
