AMX MCP-108-WH Massio 8-Button ControlPad with Knob, White

The Massio MCP-108 is for rooms that need reliable control without a touch panel: eight backlit buttons for sources, presets, and lighting scenes, plus a rotary knob for volume, all in a plate that drops into a standard 2-gang back box in US, UK, or EU sizes. There is no LCD to age or interface to relearn, which is why these end up in classrooms and huddle rooms where the interface has to be obvious to a first-time user.

It runs on 802.3af PoE over its RJ-45 Ethernet port, so one cable does power and network. Behind the plate it carries real control I/O rather than just network commands: two RS-232 serial ports, two IR/serial ports, two relays, and two binary I/O channels on 3.5mm connectors, enough to drive a display, a screen, and a shade directly. This is the white finish (FG2102-08-W); it also exists in black.
