I've got a new one of these that's been sitting in its box for several years now. I know little about this remotes capabilities so I'll need to read up. However, before I do so, I'd appreciate some initial thoughts from those here who use this unit.
I'm setting up a large HT room. All the electronics that need controlling will be housed in a rack in a seperate room away from the cinema. The racked gear is:
8 power amps that need switching on/off. (IR only) 1 surround processor (can be IR or RS232) 1 music server (IR only) 1 bluray player (IR only) 1 audio/video switcher (can be IR or RS232) 1 video scaler (can IR or RS 232)
In room: Projector on/off (can be IR or RS232) Lighting (IR only)
So what about the Sony RM AV3100 for this? Is it still a good viable remote?
As an aside, I also have a Crestron Pro2 with gateway and screen sitting a cupboard that I picked up very cheaply. However, I think in this situation using a Crestron Pro2 would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Also, there are some very heavy on-costs with the Crestron since it would need programming.
