Kramer Intros Cloud-Based AV Control Via Any Device

Kramer K-Touch 3.0

Pro AV vendor Kramer has launched K-Touch 3.0, a cloud-based platform for room control and automation via any Android or iOS device. The system allows integrators to configure control and automation for more than 100 room elements such as lights, screens, sound, HVAC, thermostats and any existing AV system, all controllable from any tablet or mobile touchscreen.

Step-by-step wizards and pre-programmed drag-and-drop modules cover a wide variety of media programs and devices commonly used in control and automation environments. Room elements can be controlled via Ethernet, or when the system is used in conjunction with Kramer FC-series format converters or third-party controllers, control can be set up via RS-232, GPIO, relays or IR. The system is also compatible with Kramer RC−series button controllers. Since K-Touch 3.0 is cloud-based, users can collaborate and provide remote support and updates without having to be on site.

Kramer offers an online training course for K-Touch 3.0 as well as an online support database that includes tutorials, articles, videos and sample project files. For more information, visit the Kramer site.

    Why Cross-Skilling Is the Smartest Investment a Campus IT Team Can Make

    Higher education IT teams are being asked to keep pace with AI, cloud, and cybersecurity on flat budgets, and hiring a specialist for every new need can no longer keep up. Building adjacent skills across the people already on staff creates more agile, resilient teams that move faster and retain talent without adding headcount. Pluralsight makes the strategy work through skill assessments, tailored learning paths, hands-on labs and sandboxes, and microlearning that fits into the flow of work.
