The **controlCUE-versatile** is a compact IP-enabled controller designed for integration into AV systems in meeting rooms, classrooms, and other environments requiring centralised and flexible device control.

The unit features **8 versatile control ports**, each configurable as input or output depending on the application, and **3 bi-directional RS-232/RS-485 serial ports** for communication with AV devices and systems. It includes an **internal IR sensor** for IR code capture and a **real-time clock (RTC)** with battery backup for scheduling and automation tasks.

The controller operates on an **ARM® processor platform** with **256 MB LPDDR RAM** and **256 MB flash memory**. It supports **Ethernet communication (10/100 BaseT, RJ-45)** with **PoE (IEEE 802.3af)** or **24 VDC power supply**, and includes support for **802.1X authentication** and **proxy server configuration**.

Front panel indicators provide visual feedback for power, network activity, CPU status, and data transmission across versatile and serial ports. A dedicated **System Default button** allows reset of IP settings and password.

Programming is handled via **Cue Visual Composer**, and configuration is accessible through the integrated **Admin Web interface**. The controller is housed in a **compact aluminium enclosure** suitable for tabletop or **19” rack installation** (¼ rack width, 1U height).

Dimensions are **105 × 43.5 × 92 mm**, weight **0.3 kg**.

The **controlCUE-versatile** offers a robust, scalable, and network-integrated solution for professional AV control applications.
