Description

This driver allows a Control4 sytem to control the Avenview SW-HBT4K-C6 range of video matrices, via either Ethernet or Serial.  Fast and reliable switching of inputs and outputs improves the user experience and robust feedback of the current configuration makes for accurate, tidy programming and guaranteed synchronisation between systems.  A simple but effective driver, designed to make the installer’s life easier.

How does it work?

The Control4 processor communicates directly with the matrix over the network, or via a serial connection. The following features are supported:

• Control via TCP/IP or RS232.
• Fast, discrete switching.
• Feedback of current configuration.

The driver comes packaged with a demonstration panel design, to aid integration with your existing system.

Is an interface device required for the two systems to communicate?

No.  Simply connect the matrix to the same network as the Control4 processor, or make a “straight-thru” serial connection.

Other similar drivers are really expensive, how come this one is free!?

Sometimes, driver development is funded by the manufacturer of the product to be integrated, and sometimes by the control system manufacturer.  Whenever possible, we offer the driver for free.

If it’s free, do I need a licence?

Nope.  No licence is required, just download the zip package from the Downloads tab.
