ELAN® System Controller

The HC8 is the integration centric member of the our controller family. The HC8 is designed to mount on a shelf or fit in standard structured wiring enclosures and connect to any of the systems to which g! integrates, including media. If your design provides for locating most of the gear in the mechanical room, then this is the controller for your installation. Utilize industry standard 18" and 36" enclosures to ensure you have the space you need to do a professional installation. The HC8 includes eight RS-232 ports, two RS-485 connections, four sensor connectors, two relays, and three IR outputs. The HC8 also includes a hard drive allowing it to store music and photos and record IP cameras as well as two music stream outputs. The HC8 comes loaded with all Base Apps and is compatible with all Pro Apps. Finally, the HC8 does include connections for the g! OSD, allowing you to connect it to a monitor. Whether you have located the HC8 in a cabinet or if you are doing an centrally distributed component video distribution system, then the HC8 has the connections you need for a complete and professional installation.
