Details

The Atlona AT-VKP-8E is a simple yet powerful 8 button IP-based keypad controller for one room of up to 10 devices. The buttons are fully configurable for controls such as display power, input switching, audio levels, or any other functions supported by system devices. In addition to Ethernet, the VKP-8E also features RS-232 for control of legacy devices. For enhanced customization, the VKP-8E incorporates a 2.7” electronic paper (e-paper) display that supports multiple pages to dynamically change icons and text associated with the buttons. LED indicators for each button and a multi-step LED level indicator provide additional feedback to users. The VKP-8E is designed to mount in one-gang US junction boxes and comes with both black and white faceplates that attach to the button panel via magnets. Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides both power and data to the panel over a single cable. For setup, the VKP-8E uses a revolutionary new configuration platform called Atlona Cloud. It provides an intuitive interface for mapping control commands, text, and icons to buttons using the extensive library of Atlona and third-party device drivers. When configuration is complete, lightweight instructions can either be sent to the VKP-8E directly over the network or stored in a file for later upload.
