commitment to innovation with major new product introductions for both the commercial and residential markets—

INFOCOMM, ORLANDO, FL, June 15, 2011 — Underscoring its commitment to providing commercial and residential dealers and installers with the broadest array of the critically important “hidden electronics” that make other electronics work, Xantech (www.xantech.com) marked 40 years of innovation and its two millionth installation milestone at InfoComm 2011, with the introduction of a new generation of A/V control system solutions at Booth #1255 in the Orlando Convention Center.
“From IR to IP, no other company even comes close to offering the range and depth of control solutions that we do,” asserted Xantech President Graham Hallett. “For 40 years Xantech has worked closely with custom installers and consultants to develop unique insights into the design, integration and control of a wide variety of A/V systems in every conceivable kind of commercial and residential installation. This is why so many designers and installers begin and end every project with Xantech. Put simply, we make everything they need to make everything else work! That’s why, to date, Xantech solutions are featured in more than two million installations worldwide.”
This relentless commitment to innovation is evident everywhere at Xantech’s InfoComm 2011 booth, where the company is showcasing, among other solutions, additions to its WIC1200 Web Intelligent Controller, which integrates numerous Xantech technologies into one versatile system with multiple RS232 ports, IR ports, relays, digital I/Os and two discrete LAN ports. “It’s designed from beginning to end to keep any conference room, classroom or corporate A/V system in full control, either on its own or through any web-enabled device,” explained Xantech Director of Business Development Rick Seegull. “And now, with our new Xantech Web Designer Software, integrators can easily create web control pages to be served by the WIC1200 onto iPad®s, tablets or any web enabled appliance for seamless control.”
When interfaced with Xantech’s CWTC10 10.4” WiFi touchpanel or their new line of SmartPanel LCD Controllers (or Apple’s iPad), the WIC1200 Web Intelligent Controller can send messages back to the touchpanel, allowing for text display, numeric display, volume and indicator bars, ON/OFF indicators and more, for full real-time data display.
Equally innovative is the Xantech ISM4 Intelligent System Manager, which automatically monitors and controls the power states of up to four IR components. “Customers simply have to turn on their display device and the ISM4 does the rest,” Seegull explained. “It powers up each individual component and makes sure they all stay in sync. It features full IR and RS232 for control; monitoring; and sensing audio, video, current, light, voltage or any heartbeat of any type in a single unit.”
For the residential market, Xantech is also introducing a number of new products. “Xantech has a solution for every level of home control, from the single room home theater, to multi-room flexible control, to whole home automation,” Hallett emphasized.
The BDXTT Bluetooth® Interface provides a full-fidelity, reliable wireless connection between an A/V system and any handheld Bluetooth A2DP-enabled device such as a smartphone, iPad, PC or tablet — wherever consumers store and manage their music and media.
The DinkyLink DL85K is Xantech’s most versatile IR control kit and works with all TV’s and lighting up to 80 feet. Unlike other IR repeater systems, it works with plasma, LCD or LED TVs; with compact fluorescent lighting (CFL); and with all satellite and digital cable boxes.
The MX88 Multi-Zone Audio/Video Controller is engineered for iPad, Xantech keypad and Xantech SmartPanel™ LCD touch-screen control. It features a highly efficient 50W x 16-channel/8-zone digital amplifier; a smart auto-sensing universal (100V to 240V) power supply with advanced automation control, and up to 16-Serial ports and 17 selectable IR ports. No dedicated apps are needed.
Xantech’s history of innovation is second to none in the industry. Its long list of industry-firsts includes the first in-wall infrared receiver module, the first peephole infrared receiver module, the first infrared sender amplifier, the first infrared receiver using surface-mount technology and the first learning in-wall keypad.
