The first four COM ports support RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422 with hardware flow control, and every IR output can be reconfigured as a unidirectional RS-232 port — giving integrators up to 16 serial connections from a single device without expansion modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurpose-built for auditoriums, large boardrooms, houses of worship, and campus-wide deployments, the CR-HOST8R runs on an Android 9.0 platform with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor. Gigabit Ethernet with TCP\/UDP\/HTTPS\/WebSocket provides IP-based control and monitoring, while onboard IR learning captures remote codes from 20KHz to 60KHz. No proprietary programming tools or annual software licenses are required — configuration runs through open protocols and standard interfaces. Powered by AC 110–220V, the CR-HOST8R mounts in any standard 19-inch rack. Where the compact CR-HOST6S serves single rooms, the CR-HOST8R scales to venues where one controller needs to drive everything on stage and in the house.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KanexPro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49156215505066,"sku":"CR-HOST8R","price":1199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/2966\/6474\/files\/CR-HOST8R-zoom1.jpg?v=1787909835","url":"https:\/\/b2b.kanexpro.com\/products\/1u-av-control-system-with-8-serial-8-relay-8-ir-serial-8-digital-i-o","provider":"KanexPro B2B","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
