Network Remote Control with Screen-Dante-Black

Ideal Use Cases

The RDL DB-NMC1 is a black network remote control with a color screen for installations that require a compact, wall-mounted Dante control point. Measuring 1.8 inches wide, 4.11 inches high, and 1.5 inches deep, it mounts in a standard US electrical box. This format makes it suitable for fixed locations where menu selection, level adjustment, entry, and mute controls need to remain readily accessible. Its dedicated hardware interface also suits installations that call for a clearly defined control surface instead of relying on a separate general-purpose device.

Why Choose This Model

The DB-NMC1 combines a 240 x 240-pixel color LCD with five purpose-defined pushbuttons. Two buttons handle menu selection, two provide level adjustment, and the fifth supports enter and mute functions. This arrangement gives users direct access to the controls specified for the panel while keeping its physical footprint compact. Network communication operates at 100 Mbps through an RJ45 connector. Ethernet status information is available at the rear panel, while a front-panel power indicator provides visible confirmation at the installed control position.

Power is supplied according to PoE Class 0 under IEEE 802.3af. This defined network power requirement simplifies planning for installations already designed around compatible Power over Ethernet infrastructure. The combination of a network connection, PoE power requirement, color display, and physical controls makes the DB-NMC1 a focused component for a Dante-based control installation.

Installation and Integration

The DB-NMC1 mounts in a standard US electrical box. Its specified dimensions should be considered when preparing the box and surrounding installation area. A cover plate is available separately and is not identified as included with the unit. The RJ45 network connector includes Link and Activity indication, while the listed indicator configuration also specifies Ethernet Link and Speed indicators on the rear panel. These rear indicators provide connection-related status during installation and system checks.

The permitted ambient operating range is 0 degrees C to 40 degrees C, with 30 degrees C identified as the recommended maximum. Installation planning should therefore account for the temperature around the mounted unit as well as the overall room environment. The product is packaged in a cardboard box measuring 3.625 x 4.625 x 2.125 inches, with a listed shipping weight of 0.5 lb.

Performance Highlights

The network interface has a specified transmission rate of 100 Mbps. Its color LCD provides a square 240 x 240-pixel display, and the five-button layout separates navigation and adjustment functions into defined controls. Two buttons are assigned to menu selection, two to level adjustment, and one to enter or mute operation. This configuration brings the model’s available functions together in a narrow wall-mounted panel.

Three indicators are specified: two rear-panel indicators for Ethernet Link and Speed, plus a power indicator on the front panel. The placement of network indicators at the rear supports connection checks during setup, while the front power indicator remains visible after installation. Power compatibility is explicitly defined as PoE Class 0, IEEE 802.3af.

What Makes It Different

The DB-NMC1 is distinguished by the combination of a color LCD, dedicated pushbutton controls, 100 Mbps Ethernet, and in-wall electrical-box mounting. Rather than presenting an undefined collection of controls, its five buttons have stated assignments covering menu navigation, level changes, enter, and mute. Its slim 1.8-inch width and standard US electrical-box mounting format support a permanent, compact installation.

The black finish identifies this specific DB-NMC1 configuration. Supporting product resources listed in the source data include a PDF specification sheet, American DXF rear-panel information, CAD resources, and high-resolution TIF images. These resources provide additional material for installation planning and product documentation.

Final Assessment

The RDL DB-NMC1 is a purpose-built network remote control for projects requiring a black, wall-mounted Dante control interface. Its core specifications are clear: a 240 x 240 color LCD, five assigned pushbuttons, 100 Mbps RJ45 networking, rear Ethernet indicators, a front power indicator, and IEEE 802.3af PoE Class 0 power. Standard US electrical-box mounting and compact dimensions make it a practical choice when these exact display, control, network, and installation requirements align with the system design.
