Control4 Unveils New Power-Over-Ethernet Keypad And Next-Generation Remote Control At CES
These two products represent Control4's commitment to providing its dealers, customers and retail partners with a diverse line of product solutions for a variety of home automation needs.
Las Vegas – January 8, 2007 – Control4, the leader in IP-based home control and entertainment systems, today announced two additions to its product line: a Power-Over-Ethernet LCD Keypad and a next-generation Control4 System Remote Control. These two products represent Control4's commitment to providing its dealers, customers and retail partners with a diverse line of product solutions for a variety of home automation needs.
"The Control4 Power-Over-Ethernet LCD Keypad is able to draw power directly from a standards-based 802.3af Ethernet connection, preventing the need for a dedicated power source," said Will West, Chief Executive Officer of Control4. "This convenient option provides dealers an alternative when designing systems for their clients, as many CEDIA-certified integrators are not licensed electricians. As we continue to extend home automation into the broader market, our core focus is on creating products that are easy to install, affordable and standards-based."
Control4's Power-Over-Ethernet LCD Keypad can control anything in a house from lighting schemes to security systems. The combination of 10 buttons, a jog-dial, and the large backlit LCD display makes it ideal for in-room music control with multi-room audio systems. In addition, the Power-Over-Ethernet LCD Keypad offers the same easy-to-use menu system and interface as other Control4 user interface devices, providing consistency and ease of use for the home owner. This easy to install, standards-based solution can help users navigate their system easily and affordably.
The Control4 System Remote Control gives users the ability to control any automated function in the home, freeing them from a confusing combination of multiple remote controls. The upgraded version enables one-touch access to multiple media devices, in addition to remembering the most recent settings selected. This feature allows a user to return to an environment exactly how it was left without having to re-navigate volume, lighting, and other menus. The new Control4 System Remote Control also has customizable soft buttons that can be customized to control aspect ratios, lighting, or any other one-touch access a user desires.
The Control4 Power-Over-Ethernet LCD Keypad and System Remote Control will be available in mid-January and have list prices of $299 and $149 respectively.
