XANTECH UNVEILS DDS DIGI5™ DIGITAL DELIVERY
SYSTEM
— New DIGI-5™ technology, developed with the Linear Home
Technology Group, delivers high-quality digital sound over CAT5 —
INFOCOMM, ORLANDO, FL, June 17, 2009 —
Xantech Corporation, a leader in the field of audio/video remote control
and distribution for 40 years, unveils the DDS Digital Delivery System,
utilizing DIGI-5™ technology, which uses CAT5 wiring to distribute
audio. DDS provides cleaner audio at louder listening levels than previous
similar analog systems. With powerful, dependable and intuitive operation
(with no extra programming necessary), RS-232 control compatibility,
audio distribution to anywhere from four to 28 Zones, and a number of
other exclusive features, Xantech’s DDS is perfect for residential
homes, condo/apartment complexes, hotels, restaurants, resorts, coach
buses and RVs, etc.
CAT5 systems are easier to wire and install than other
methods of distribution, at a cheaper price point with convenient and
straightforward packaging options for the consumer. CAT5 is quickly
becoming the de facto standard in new homes and multiple-dwelling unit
infrastructures. DIGI-5 patent-pending technology is the result of years
of research to develop an affordable, scalable and easy-to-install distribution
system that delivers high-quality digital sound to multiple rooms/zones
over a CAT5 wiring network. DIGI-5 brings to the custom electronics
marketplace a totally new platform that provides a level of flexibility
and sonic sophistication heretofore available only in much costlier
and more labor-intensive multi-room systems. DIGI-5’s end-to-end
digital architecture ensures that the entire signal path of the audio
system remains in the digital domain from start to finish, meaning that
noise, signal loss and other unwanted audio-degrading effects, even
over long wire runs, are eliminated.
Xantech’s DIGI5 DDS is the only 1x4 or 4x4 (4-source/4-zone)
home theater expansion system and is available in Flat-pack structured
wiring Hubs as well as a rack-mountable 1U home theater model. It features
the proprietary Xan-Net network port-connect for SPLCD, media metadata
and more. The units include a built-in 30-Watt high efficiency digital
amplifier, as well as volume, tone and balance control. Only one CAT5
cable is dedicated to the keypad. The units are sold in either Single
Source or Four Source models. The unit’s display is bright LED
with back-lit touch surface, featuring source selection and time-out
control.
The units’ Amplified Digital Keypad (30W/Channel)
features five-button control for volume, system power, mute, party mode
and EQ adjustment. It has a built-in IR receiver with an external IR
input on the back for remote placement. It is very easy to install and
intuitive to use. Since the Keypad is amplified, speaker wiring is dramatically
reduced, as no home-run is required. Speakers connect directly to the
in-wall single-gang keypad within in the room.
Xantech’s DIGI-5 system will be available in standard
rack-mount configurations or as a “flat-pack” design. For
