CR-IPS1 – IP to Serial Controller with a Single I/O Port
The CYP CR-IPS1 is an IP to serial controller that bridges modern IP control networks to serial-controlled equipment, allowing a single RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 device to be operated remotely over a standard network. In installations where projectors, displays, matrices and other hardware still rely on serial commands, the CR-IPS1 makes that device reachable from a control system or PC anywhere on the network, removing the need to run dedicated serial cabling back to a central location.
Control and configuration are handled through a comprehensive set of interfaces, including a built-in WebGUI, Telnet and a console connection over RS-232, so commands can be issued and the unit set up in whatever way best suits the installation. The single serial port is wired through a 5-pin Phoenix connector and supports RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485, giving broad compatibility across different manufacturers' control schemes. The unit supports the IEEE 802.1x RTS/CTS protocol to avoid hidden-station collisions, provides clear LED indicators for power and Ethernet status, and allows convenient field firmware updates via USB or a dedicated hotkey.
Power is flexible: the CR-IPS1 can run from Power over Ethernet, drawing both data and power from a single network cable connected to a standard PoE switch, or from a 12V supply where PoE is not available. This keeps installation tidy and reduces the number of cables and supplies at the device end. Housed in a compact enclosure measuring 128mm wide, 25mm high and 108mm deep, it is easy to mount discreetly within a rack or alongside the equipment it controls. The CR-IPS1 is TAA compliant, suiting public sector and government procurement requirements, and is backed by a five year warranty.
What CYP say about the CR-IPS1
The CR-IPS1 Control System Centre is for users to control a single Serial device of any variety. It supports one RS-232/422/485 port. Users can connect device and control it via a 3 (or 5)-pin adapter cable to send RS-232/422/485 commands from this unit. Comprehensive user control interfaces are available, including WebGUI, Telnet, and console (RS-232 in).

Matrices, switchers and scalers route and match signals
CYP's matrices and switchers send several sources to several displays. Scalers convert a signal to the resolution a screen needs. Together they handle the common problem of mixing old and new equipment in one installation. Check the product page for the resolutions and inputs each model supports.
Extenders and converters cover distance and format
Extenders carry video over longer runs than a standard cable allows, and converters change one signal format into another. CYP's range also includes audio products, control equipment and cables, so you can source the supporting parts from the same maker.
Newer signal types are included
The catalogue extends to AV over IP, including Dante audio, and to wireless products. CYP says its range is aimed at installers, so it is the kind of equipment you will often find specified in professionally fitted systems. Check the product page for the formats each product supports.
