BitWise Control

Control and automate all of your AV equipment, shades, lighting and much more. The IP-enabled BC4 automation controller and BC4 Project Editor Software give installations power. Alloys has created a range of sleek interfaces which utilise iPhone and iPad technology.

Imagine simplifying a home theatre system to the point that simply putting a DVD into a DVD player will automatically turn on the desired components (TV, surround receiver, etc.) and switch all of those components to the appropriate
AV inputs and surround mode.

No more multiple remotes, no confusion, and no hassles.

Project Editor Software allows code-free device set-up, macro development and totally customisable GUI creation. GUIs are rendered in HTML so any web enabled device including smart phones, touch screens and PCs can be used as control interfaces.

Even though the system can operate as a standalone controller, bidirectional RS232 capability allows it to also be an easy add on to existing control systems. Add another room, more equipment, or just use it to add web enabled interface capability.

Features:

• IR library built in with 348,000 codes to make installation quick and easy
• Two congurable GPIO ports (general purpose input/output)
• Digital input capability (does not take up IR port or require additional hardware)
• Sense voltage (video sensing) or evaluate equipment state
• Digital Output for control of turning equipment on or off
• Analogue input to connect directly to line level audio or composite video to trigger events or
evaluate equipment state
• Configurable input parameters allowing tailored sensing parameters to the device generating
the signal.
• An internal GPIO port can be configured to act as a counter or frequency input to measure
activity.
• Four IR ports and an IR blaster – Route IR to any port for specific equipment control or blast it to a rack
of equipment
• Two SPDT relays for control of shades, projector screens, amplifier power up or turning lights on and off.
• Bi-directional RS232 – for direct equipment control or to work with other automation platforms.
• Power over Ethernet 802.3af for locations with no available power or in tight spaces that do not allow
for an additional power supply.
• Field upgradeable firmware allowing for upgrades without sending the product back to the factory
