FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

XANTECH COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS THE ISM4 INTELLIGENT SYSTEM MANAGER/CONTROLLER

— Unit offers contractors and system integrators automatic syncing and status control for up to four IR component sources and is expandable to support over eight sources —

— XPS programming feature eliminates the need for programming with a PC, and power status sensing assures system synchronization —

INTEGRATED SYSTEMS EUROPE, AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, February 3, 2009 — Xantech Corporation, a leader in the field of audio/video remote control and distribution for 40 years, exhibits the ISM4 Intelligent System Manager/Controller, the most reliable way to monitor the power status of IR components in an installed AV system. Using any IR remote control, users can program the System Manager to turn on the display, DVD player, cable, AV receiver or other system component, instantly and automatically setting everything to the proper Input and volume level. The ISM4 offers visibility of any IR component’s Power State and automatically issues the proper commands to keep it in sync with the rest of the system; operation is as simple as turning on the user-designated “master device” component, and the ISM4’s settings coordinate the entire system. System synchronization has never been simpler or more reliable.

The ISM4 monitors the power status of up to four IR components, with the ability to expand to over eight sources, ensuring that all components are ON or OFF when they are supposed to be. The on/off master control can be set via IR or R-S232, or manually. With RS-232 status output, contractors and system integrators can offer customers higher level control systems that monitor system power status of individual components. The ISM4 can also be used with all of Xantech’s Sensor modules for audio, video, CC, AC/DC and current and even a light sensor, providing the ultimate in status monitoring confidence (One SMVID01 video sensor is included; other sensors are sold separately). Furthermore, the ISM4’s XPS programming feature makes it a completely self-contained device and eliminates the need to use a PC for programming. The XPS feature also includes a cloning feature that allows the system integrator to copy programming from one unit to another for even greater efficiency during the system’s integration process.

Applications for the ISM4 include hotel room entertainment systems and classroom presentation cart systems, as well as in conference rooms and wherever reliable IR control and system status verification is critical. “Users of commercial audio/video systems have been reluctant to use IR components in the past because they could never be certain if every device in a system was actually on or off and in synch with the other components,” explains Rick Seegull, Director of Business Development for Xantech. “In a conference room, for instance, the video display and audio system are on and being heard or seen, but when it comes time to start a presentation, they find that the DVD player isn’t turned on, which disrupts the flow of the presentation. The ISM4 changes all of that. You can always have complete confidence that all of the IR components in a system are in synch – on or off – and users can address the system in the way that suits them best, with the IR remote, through RS-232, or just by hitting the power switch on whichever component is the master device.”
