...The Multi-Talented Media Controller!
 

The ict-Controlmachine CM2 is a professional media controller. The most complex controller tasks are now no longer a problem thanks to this flexible, multi-purpose controller.
The CM2 controls trade show sequences and multimedia presentations as well as video sources, image-split processors, projectors, laser systems, light systems and exhibits in multimedia centers. All of this in real time, of course.
 

ict's know-how has made this unit adaptable to just about any task and its high degree of flexibility allows individual configuration to meet specific needs. All of this at a reasonable pricing.
The powerful ict-ControlVision Software handles the CM2 programming. Constant updates insure that the software can handle any current multimedia application.

Range of Features:
  • Modular Set-Up:
    Individually configurable using a range of plug-in boards and external units
  • ict-ControlVision Software used to interactively generate programs and for job sequencing
  • Large library of device drivers available to control external units
  • Networking:
    Several CM2 can be networked and operated in cooperation with ict's control terminals
  • Bi-directional remote control system can receive status information of individual system components via a dialog with the ict-Controlmachine CM2
  • Remote updating and remote service feature via telephone and/or ISDN network
  • Preview of video sources in an ict-ControlVision desktop window
  • Sturdy 19" housing
  • 85-240 V power supply
    eases international use
  • CE-approval
  • The ict-Controlmachine CM2 can also be rented from ict
