INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV, June 9, 2010 — Xantech Corporation (booth C6242), a leader in the field of audio/video distribution and control for over 40 years, exhibits its new MX88 IP-enabled multi-zone audio/video controller, engineered for iPad® control along with Xantech keypad and Xantech SmartPanel™ LCD touch-screen control.
The MX88 allows a user to control an entire Xantech multi-zone audio/video system using an Apple iPad. An integrated audio/video distribution and control tour-de-force, the network-ready MX88 combines a 50W x 16-channel/8-zone amplifier and highly efficient auto-sensing universal power supply with advanced automation control capable of up to 16-Serial ports with the use of Xantech’s RS232 1x8 serial routers, and 17 selectable IR ports, as well as IP communication and two-way interface with an iPhone®, iPod® touch or iPad.
Expanding on the success of their WIC1200 Web Intelligent Controller, Xantech’s iPad integration approach uses an existing WiFi network to interface the MX-series controller to the iPad (or any networked web-browsing device), serving up a web application embedded in the MX88’s architecture. System control and status monitoring can all be accessed within a wired or wireless immediate LAN environment, or remotely over the Internet. Full metadata, menu navigation and even content graphics and album art are all transitioned from media source to the iPad through the Xantech audio/video controller itself. The MX88 is perfect for hotel/hospitality, resort/spa, medical offices, etc. |
