Universal Remote Control URC MX-990

Unlike consumer universal remotes, the URC MX-990 is designed specifically for professional custom installers and requires the proprietary URC Complete Control Program (CCP) software to program. The software is locked behind URC's certified dealer network and is not available to the general public. Therefore, it must be purchased and configured through an authorized AV professional.

Yes, the MX-990 is equipped with two-way RF (Radio Frequency) capabilities when paired with a compatible URC base station, such as the MRF-350 or MRF-260. This allows the remote to send signals through walls and closed cabinet doors without needing a direct line of sight. The RF range is reportedly up to 100 feet.

The URC MX-990 features a small, backlit monochrome OLED screen at the top of the remote. Unlike a touchscreen, this display is used to show dynamic text labels for custom macro commands and device pages. It pairs perfectly with the remote's extensive array of physical, backlit hard buttons.

The MX-990 can control a massive home theater setup, supporting up to 255 pages of custom programming across dozens of different devices. It features 47 physical hard buttons, nearly all of which can be custom-mapped to execute complex sequences of commands. This makes it highly scalable for multi-room automation systems.
