The Atlona AT-VKP-8E is a simple yet powerful 8 button IP-based keypad controller for one room, up to 10 devices. The buttons are fully configurable for 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.
Atlona Cloud Configuration
For setup, the VKP-8E uses a revolutionary new online configuration platform called Atlona Cloud. It provides an intuitive interface to define the label, icon, and LED behavior for each button as well as macros for controlling room technology. 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. Atlona Cloud also includes an embedded file management system for organizing projects and sharing them with colleagues.
Applications
Meeting rooms and classrooms - The VKP-8E is ideal for AV control in lower complexity spaces offering a few source selections and a single display
Straightforward user interface - The VPK-8E can be added to a larger Atlona Velocity system in applications where the simplicity of a button panel option is preferred over touch panels.
