Multimedia Control Panel
Universal IR code database
A universal IR code database refers to a library
of infrared codes built-in to a particular
remote. This feature allows a remote to
control your equipment without needing to
learn individual signals. Select the correct
infrared code sets in the database for the
devices you want to control, to enable control
of virtually every audio/video system element
on the market today – regardless of model or
brand.
Activity based user interface
Instead of operating your components one by
one, activity based control blends the most
commonly used functions into activities such as
"Watch a movie" or "Listen to CD". When a
user selects 'watch a movie', rather than having
the end user address each individual piece of
equipment - such as DVD player, TV and
multimedia receiver -, one button holds all
necessary commands to be able to start
watching a movie: switch on the TV, switch on
the amplifier and select the right input, switch
on the the DVD player and start playing.
Integrated WiFi
WiFi networking, also known as IEEE 802.11
uses radio frequency signals to communicate in
a similair fashion as wired computer networks.
It uses TCP/IP networking protocols for the
basic communication.
Color touchscreen LCD display
Color Liquid Crystal Display with touch screen
input ensures better readability and the
capability to visualize colour buttons and
backgrounds. Easy selection of buttons and
commands is possible using the touch screen.
Control A/V Wireless Streaming
From the comfort of your couch, you can
control the rendering of digital content (play,
stop, volume, ...), that is residing elsewhere
(e.g. on a PC) on legacy A/V equipment (TV,
audio set). The control device communicates
over UPnP with the source (PC) and renderer
(multimedia adapter connected to TV or audio
set) and initiates a content stream between
both.
Photo preview
The UPnP protocol allows on-device preview
of digital photos that are available in the
network.
One-touch convenience
One-touch control allows you to perform
multiple commands with one press of a button
via a macro. A macro combines a string of pre-
programmed commands under one single
button. Therefore, it simply takes one button
press to execute a series of functions.
Internet EPG
An electronic program guide (EPG) is an
application used to list current and scheduled
programs that are or will be available on each
channel and a short summary or commentary
for each program. The Internet EPG offers you
a program overview exactly tailored to your
taste by convenient genre, time and date filters.
As program details are refreshed every 24
hours, via a fully automated download over a
wireless connection, you're never short of the
latest and greatest info on what's on.
Setup wizard
The setup wizard provides a step by step guide
that tailors the device to perfectly match your
home entertainment system. By learning what
equipment you have, and how it is
interconnected, the device creates its own
macros that allow full control of your home
entertainment system.
Learning functionality
Learning functionality refers to the process
through which a remote control captures and
stores infrared signals from other remotes for
later use. When device codes are not included
in the on-board database, they can always be
learned from the original remote, simply by
pointing to it.
Future proof
To keep your device up to date and enhance its
functionality you can download new softwares
that become available. Connect the device to
the Internet, either directly or through a PC,
and launch the upgrade utility.
