The Bogen TMC4 Telemedia Controller is a programmable universal media source controller capable of learning and reproducing the infrared commands for consumer audio-visual products. Each TMC4 can simultaneously control up to four different media source devices from standard DTMF telephones. The controller can be accessed through the Multicom 2000 ® system or from various telephone switches.

The TMC4 decodes the touch-tone signal from a telephone and transmits an infrared control signal to the media source via a small transmitter that is mounted over the device’s infrared receiver. Any function that is available through the media source’s remote control feature can be learned and assigned to a button on a telephone.

When used with Multicom 2000 systems, the TMC4 provides additional features such as: reserving VCRs, quick reconnect code, menu-driven access, and current user identification.
