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.”
