AMX NX-4200 NetLinx Integrated Controller - 1RU - LCD Display
Description
AMX NX-4200 NetLinx Integrated Controller – 1RU LCD Display
The AMX NX-4200 is a rack-mounted control processor built for venue automation, live-sound integration, and professional AV installations. This compact 1RU unit packs substantial processing power with extensive connectivity options, making it the backbone for mid-to-large scale systems that demand centralized control over lighting, audio gear, video playback, and networked devices from a single reliable platform.
Processing & Performance
Built around a 1600 MIPS processor with 1 GB RAM and 8 MB FLASH storage, the NX-4200 handles complex control logic and simultaneous device management without lag or bottlenecks. This architecture keeps your automation responsive through multi-zone shows, real-time monitoring, and integrated system commands across networked devices—critical for live environments where timing matters.
Connectivity & Network Architecture
The unit features a dual NIC with integrated 4-port switch including Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, streamlining network deployment without external switches for smaller to mid-sized venues. Extensive I/O includes 2 AXLink, 4 ICSLan, 8 Digital I/O, 2 RS232/422/485, 6 RS232-Only, 8 IR/Serial Output, and 8 Relay outputs, plus 2 USB Standard A ports (front and rear), giving you the flexibility to integrate everything from legacy serial gear to modern networked peripherals.
