XANTECH SETS NEW STANDARDS, MEETS
NEW CHALLENGES IN IR CONTROL WITH NEW SERIES
|
|
— New Red/95, Green/85
and Blue/25 series IR kits keep customers on the cutting edge
with Xantech IR control —
|
|
SYLMAR, CA, July 21, 2010 — Xantech Corporation,
the company that invented the concept of extended IR control for
audio/video systems, is once again setting the standards for excellence
in that area to keep up with the continuous changes occurring in A/V
technology and living styles in the form of an entirely new line of
products: its Red/95, Green/85 and Blue/25 series.
“Change is the one constant in both the audio/video
industry and our lives,” commented Xantech President Graham Hallett.
“Changes in entertainment systems range from flatscreen panels to
all-digital TV content delivery, and now 3D is part of the mix. Changes
in how we live include sweeping progress in energy efficiency and
greater demands on living spaces. All this, in turn, places greater
demands than ever on IR control systems. As the pioneer and leader in
that field, Xantech has the special responsibility of continuously
advancing the state-of-the-art. Our new series does exactly that for IR
control, and sets the new standard for the rest of the industry.”
Continued Hallett, “What that means for installers
putting in A/V systems is this: everything they need to stay at the
leading edge of IR control technology comes in a single box from
Xantech. And if they ever encounter an IR problem that Xantech can’t
solve, nobody can. It’s that simple”
The trends Hallett speaks of are:
- Interchangeability of plasma and LCD TV’s —
Today, many consumers are purchasing their second, third or fourth
flat-screen television. An IR kit needs to work flawlessly with both
plasma and LCD models. Previously, IR repeater systems used to be
designed for only one or the other.
- Energy efficiency — compact fluorescent lighting
(CFL) has become standard in nearly every home and business. CFL’s
pump out considerable light interference, making them incompatible
with some IR systems.
- Surge in digital entertainment delivery — more
homes are connected to digital cable and satellite TV boxes than ever
before. Not all IR repeater systems are compatible with all of these
components.
- Changes in lifestyles and living spaces —
although new construction of dedicated home theater spaces has taken a
downturn, interest in consumer electronics is stronger than ever,
and so is interest in hiding audio/video components and controlling
them remotely. An IR repeater system is expected to do more system
control “heavy lifting” than ever before.
Xantech’s new IR systems are designed for this
challenging new environment. Explains Mark Cerasuolo, Xantech’s Director
of Marketing, “We now differentiate the kits by range and sensitivity
instead of by type of television, and we simplified the selection
process through our three-tier color-coded packaging system. Our Red/95
series has our highest level of interference-rejection circuitry,
working with all types of TV’s and lighting at ranges up to 120 feet.
Our Green/85 series is our most versatile kit, and works with all TV’s
and lighting up to 80 feet. And our Blue/25 series is an outstanding
value in IR control when the need is simply to control a traditional TV
display under traditional lighting conditions.”
For the 95 and 85 series, Xantech delved into five technology
elements to perfect IR for the next generation of entertainment
systems: Error Correction circuitry ensures the
most faithful reproduction of the original IR signal that present
technology allows. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuitry allows a Xantech IR receiver to constantly study the ambient light
level and automatically re-calibrate its own sensitivity to more
accurately discriminate the correct signal and reject unwanted
noise. Sophisticated Adaptive Filtering circuitry enabling the receiver to more electively “look” at
an IR source while rejecting unwanted frequencies. Native
Carrier Frequency Transmission circuitry (95, 85 &
25 series) to accurately process the original “pure”
carrier frequency, eliminating noise and interference, and transmitting
the original IR signal in its correct form to the rest of the
system; In addition, the 95 series packs an oversized
IR element, giving it a wider operating window, better
off-axis response and longer range — perfect for larger
living environments, or in conditions with unusual amounts of
light interference. Finally, the overall build quality (95, 85 & 25 series), as Xantech using the highest quality
components and precision manufacturing separates Xantech from
competitive IR products.
The three new lines of IR kits are available with four
receiver styles to fit practically any control application. The DL/Dinky
Link surface-mount is the industry's best-selling design for easy,
unobtrusive mounting on any TV set frame or other component, and is now
available with color-change sleeves for unobtrusive mounting on black,
white or silver units. The HL/Hidden Link Designer-style receiver is a
tabletop design for placement on entertainment equipment racks or
components and is also available in black, white or silver. The ML/Micro
Link peephole or bullet design is intended for in-wall or in-ceiling
installations, and in speakers with a suitable knockout feature, and
ships with brass, white and black bezels for easy concealment. Lastly,
the Decora®-style receiver is intended for low-voltage mounting bracket
or J-Box installations for in-wall retrofit or other applications.
“According to a recent industry survey, nearly half of
all integrators cite Xantech as their choice in IR,” says
Cerasuolo. “Our Dinky Link IR receiver has been the go-to
control product for custom installers for 20 years. With the introduction
of our new 95, 85 and 25 series, Xantech continues to advance
the technology for IR and system control for all A/V products.”

Xantech Products Selected For A/V Control at Tallahassee’s Four Oaks Community Church |

XANTECH PRODUCTS SELECTED FOR A/V CONTROL AT
TALLAHASSEE’S FOUR OAKS COMMUNITY CHURCH
|
INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV, June 9,
2010 — Managing a house of worship A/V system incorporating
components such as cameras, projectors, screens, LCD monitors, cable
boxes, DVD players and audio equipment can be a daunting task for even
the most technically proficient church volunteer. In order to simplify
A/V system control for its clients, design/build specialist Music Masters, located in Tallahassee,
Florida, has selected a wireless control solution from Xantech Corporation, a
leader in the field of audio/video remote control and distribution for
40 years.
Most recently, the design/build team led by Les
Stephenson, a veteran of more than two decades with Music Masters,
incorporated a pair of Xantech XTR39 hand-held LCD touchscreen remotes
and a handful of RF2IR base station receivers into an A/V installation
at the nearby Four Oaks
Community Church. The Xantech ZigBee-based (IEEE802.15.4) remote
control system allows users to activate or reset all or part of a
multi-component A/V system with the press of a single button. “We’ve
used this product quite a few times,” stated Stephenson. “We know it, we
know how to program it, and it works.”
An XTR39 wireless remote located in the sanctuary at
Four Oaks Community Church additionally controls equipment in the green
room and the cry room. “Any member of their team can come in and pick up
the XTR39 and hit the power button, hit the ON icon, and everything is
set up and they’re ready to go,” Stephenson explained. “We also wanted
to be able to take control of each of the projectors individually. We
built a control page for each projector and we built a control page for
each TV. So you can sit at the mix booth and you can adjust the left,
the center or the right projector independently.”
The second XTR39 remote, in the youth room, resets the
A/V components for various applications, including presentations,
meetings and sanctuary overflow. A presenter need only press the
macro-based button labeled “Presentation” and the system reconfigures
accordingly. “He can put his DVD in the DVD player, put a lapel mic on,
turn the body pack on and he’s good to go,” Stephenson elaborated. “Then
he runs the DVD player from the XTR39, and when he’s done he hits the
OFF button and everything turns off and the screens go back up.”
Pressing the “Overflow” button on the XTR39 automatically resets the
room: “The audio is correctly patched and the levels are set, the
screens come down and the projectors turn on.”
The XTR39 includes a 3.9-inch full color touchscreen
display for the fully customizable button and icon layout. The remote
includes hardware buttons for frequently used commands while less
frequently used soft buttons may be hidden away on multiple screen
pages. “We replaced all the remote controls for all their devices, so
it’s all built into one remote. You’re not looking through a drawer full
of remotes, you just grab the one,” he commented.
The RF2IR2W receiver translates the XTR39’s radio
frequency commands, which can pass through walls, into the IR and RS232
signals appropriate for each electronic device in the system. “You don’t
even have to point it at the device,” he said. “That’s pretty cool.”
Each RF2IR2W Base Station has four selectable IR ports and a
bi-directional RS232 port. The XTR39 remote can communicate with over
200 uniquely addressed RF base stations allowing for a very large
flexible control system.
Stephenson summarized, “Xantech just makes it so easy.
Clients can simplify the operation of all their equipment so they don’t
have to have a two-page checklist for how to turn each thing on and how
it needs to be set up. We’ve set up presets using the XTR39 that turn
everything on and off and set the system up for how they need it to be
on Sunday morning in a few churches now. We’re using the product in a
variety of applications – anywhere we need something that is
customizable and that’s going to be easy to use.”

JUST GEORGE’S SPORTS BAR LETS CUSTOMERS TAKE
COMMAND OF THEIR OWN VIDEO DISPLAY THANKS TO THE XANTECH LM110
| — Xantech LM110 Single Gang Learning
Module makes programming multiple video displays easy for the installer
and fun for patrons — |
| — Ten more 52-inch LCD displays placed
throughout the lounge are controlled using Xantech’s CSPLCD64 Commercial
Touchscreen Display — |
|
INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV, June 9,
2010 — When Just George’s,
the sports bar connected to the Captain George’s Seafood
Restaurant in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, needed a way to let
each booth control its own A/V content, they turned to Virginia
Beach-based Fidelity Sound
Reinforcement. Fidelity selected innovative solutions from Xantech Corporation, a
leading producer of innovative, reliable and problem-solving custom
installation signal processing and control systems.
Mike Phillips, Project Manager and Audio Engineer at
Fidelity, which did the system design and integration at the sports bar,
chose the Xantech LM110RP
Smartpad3 Single Gang Keypad Controller to enable the system to
allow patrons at each booth in the lounge to control their own A/V
content. In addition, the Xantech CSPLCD64
Commercial Touchscreen Display was also integrated into the system.
Fidelity Sound Reinforcement installed a dozen LM110
push-button controllers in the lounge, one at every booth. The LM110
offers those seated in the booth the ability to call up any channel from
DirecTV, including the channel guides and pre-selected sports channels,
as well as control over the volume of their display. Additionally,
staff can also customize the experience by choosing which sports events
are on any of the ten 52-inch LCD displays placed throughout the lounge,
which are controlled using Xantech’s standalone CSPLCD64 Commercial
Touchscreen Display.
This level of individual customization of the lounge
patron’s experience is unheard of and only possible thanks to the
reliability and high degree of programmability of the Xantech
controllers, which replaces products from another manufacturer that
Phillips says had a history of crashing the system. “Now it’s a place
where if somebody wants to see any sporting event -- football, baseball,
hockey, NCAA -- they’ve pretty much got it,” says Phillips. “The LM110s
are standalone units; there’s not a single processor that drives all
those booths. We love that type of individual control. And we have cable
as a back-up and that is controlled with the touch panel also.”
Phillips was pleased with how easily the Xantech
equipment was programmed and how well it’s performing. “The Xantech
installation was pretty simple and trouble-free,” he says. “Everything
that controls the video in that restaurant is Xantech, and the customers
and employees have been really pleased with it.”

and components; the successful MRC88 Multi-Room A/V Controller/Amplifier;
the new MX88 Multi-Room Audio/Video Controller/Amplifier; several new
LCD touchpanel offerings; and the new VDA51 Virtual Dolby® Decoder.
DDS
Digital Delivery System
Xantech’s award-winning DDS Digital Delivery System uses DIGI-5™ technology and Category-5 cabling to distribute high-performance
audio throughout residential homes, condo/apartment complexes, hotels,
restaurants, resorts, etc. 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, and audio distribution to anywhere from four
to 28 Zones, Xantech’s DDS is the perfect multi-room audio solution.
Xantech’s

a.m. and again from 10:30-11:00 a.m., Xantech will hold a feature presentation
at the Innovations Stage, located in the Las Vegas Convention Center,
Grand Lobby.
Also
at the 2010 International CES, Xantech is expanding its DDS range with
specific accessories and components for the European market.
The
D5IP2 DDS local input plate with local power input
allows a DDS zone to be powered locally to get full output power from
a keypad’s digital Class-D amplifier. It is ideal for single-zone
DDS installations common in retrofit residential and commercial environments.
Like the D5IP wall plate, the D5IP2 provides switchable analog RCA and
digital (coaxial and Toslink optical) inputs to enable an all-digital
signal path — perfect for use with PCs, media servers and other
digital audio devices.
The
D5KPE DDS single gang European keypad is an all-new
four-source Organic LED keypad design exclusively for European installations.
The keypad fits one gang Legrand® and U.K. standard electrical back-boxes.
It offers up to 48 Watts of audio output power using a pure-digital
signal path for maximum performance and minimal distortion, and it features
adjustable equalization and dynamic range control for matching any environment.
A color change kit is available in Black, Ivory and Almond.
The
D5IPE DDS single gang European input wall plate is
an all-new source input wallplate that fits one gang Legrand and UK
standard electrical back-boxes.
Multi-Room
Audio/Video Amplifier/Controller and Controls
Xantech’s award-winning MRC88 Multi-Room A/V
Controller/Amplifier is an eight-source, eight-zone A/V distribution
amplifier that allows the control and distribution of eight separate
source components to eight different zones, with the capacity to expand
to up to sixteen zones of control and distribution. It allows control
of source components through both RS232 and IR, and can be used with
Xantech SmartPanel™ LCD Touchpanels as well as dedicated keypads.
Adding
to Xantech’s multi-room controller line is the new MX88 Multi-Room Audio/Video Controller/Amplifier. The MX88 is an integrated
audio/video tour-de-force, combining an audiophile-grade 16-channel/8-zone
multi-room amplifier with advanced video distribution and automation
features including IP communication and two-way interface with an iPhone
or iPod Touch.
MX88
Features:
- Updated, contemporary industrial design
- Intelligent and highly efficient green power supply with 100V-240V
Automatic voltage selection and low power consumption
- Built-in audiophile grade, high efficiency, 50W per channel, 4 ohm
stable digital amplifiers for all of the 8 zones (16 channels)
- IP enabled
- Quick Config (QC) enabled: Configurable with or without Universal
Dragon™
- Full metadata capability
- Plug and Play compatibility with HD88, XIS100, XT1, and XMusic
- 4U, standard rack width chassis with removable rack ears
- Color-coded jacks for easy connection
LCD
Touchpanels
Xantech expands its LCD Touchpanel offerings as it unveils a number
of products with IP connectivity. Xantech SmartPanel™ LCD Touchpanels
may be used separately as a controller for an entire residential or
commercial system, or integrated with the MX88 amplifier/controller
to unleash that components full flexibility and features in a multiroom
environment. They allow users to control audio, video and other components
from one high-resolution, durable professional-grade TFT display. Touchscreens
generate RS-232, IR and IP commands for full integration into any system.
These integrated units can be installed in hollow walls without a backbox.
Touchpanels feature SD card slots for directly importing presentation
media. New product offerings – each featuring Video Input and
IP connectivity – include the SP43VIP 4.3-in
Widescreen Touchpanel controller, the SP70VIP 7.0-in
Widescreen Touchpanel controller and the SP100VIP 10.1-in
Widescreen Touchpanel controller.
Installed
Home Theater
Xantech’s new VDA51 Virtual Dolby® Decoder bridges the gap between multi-room audio and home theater. With the
VDA51 in-line in a zone, a pair of in-wall or ceiling speakers becomes
a surround-sound theater through Dolby Virtual surround. The VDA51 takes
a digital SPDIF output and delivers analog audio with virtual surround
to any zone. It offers the perfect solution for master bedrooms and
family rooms, where the theater surround experience is desirable but
five speakers are not. When a Dolby Digital stream is present, the unit
encodes the analog output with Dolby Virtual Speaker surround information,
creating a virtual surround effect from only two in-wall or ceiling
speakers. Dolby Virtual fine tuning selector lets the installer choose
Wide or Reference decoding (each setting a different level of surround
processing and perceived surround effect).
VDA51
Features:
- Accepts digital signal (Dolby Digital and PCM) from a source, and
outputs it as analog left and right audio.
- Component applications: use with Xantech HD88CC5, HD44CC5, or HDTXSG01,
and placed after an HDRXSG01 Component Video Extender. Or use with an
HD88C/HD44C SPDIF output.

SHOWCASES NEW PRODUCTS AT ISE
— Leader in
A/V control continues to innovate with new product offerings —
INTEGRATED
SYSTEMS EUROPE, AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, February 2, 2010 —
Xantech Corporation (Booth #2A51), a leading provider of whole-house
entertainment and automation systems, is exhibiting a number of new
and noteworthy products at Integrated Systems Europe 2010. These include
the award-winning DDS Digital Delivery System, exhibited with a selection
of European-market-specific accessories and components; the successful
MRC88 Multi-Room A/V Controller/Amplifier; the new MX88 Multi-Room Audio/Video
Controller/Amplifier; several new LCD touchpanel offerings; and the
new VDA51 Virtual Dolby® Decoder.
DDS
Digital Delivery System
Xantech’s award-winning DDS Digital Delivery System uses DIGI-5™ technology and Category-5 cabling to distribute high-performance
audio throughout residential homes, condo/apartment complexes, hotels,
restaurants, resorts, etc. 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, and audio distribution to anywhere from four
to 28 Zones, Xantech’s DDS is the perfect multi-room audio solution.
The DDS Digital Delivery System was recently recognized with a CES Innovations
Award as an outstanding new product in the category of Multi-Room Audio/Video.
At ISE 2010, Xantech is expanding its DDS range with specific accessories
and components for the European market.
The
D5IP2 DDS local input plate with local power input
allows a DDS zone to be powered locally to get full output power from
a keypad’s digital Class-D amplifier. It is ideal for single-zone
DDS installations common in retrofit residential and commercial environments.
Like the D5IP wall plate, the D5IP2 provides switchable analog RCA and
digital (coaxial and Toslink optical) inputs to enable an all-digital
signal path — perfect for use with PCs, media servers and other
digital audio devices.
The
D5KPE DDS single gang European keypad is an all-new
four-source Organic LED keypad design exclusively for European installations.
The keypad fits one gang Legrand® and U.K. standard electrical back-boxes.
It offers up to 48 Watts of audio output power using a pure-digital
signal path for maximum performance and minimal distortion, and it features
adjustable equalization and dynamic range control for matching any environment.
A color change kit is available for Black, Ivory and Almond.
The
D5IPE DDS single gang European input wall plate is
an all-new source input wallplate that fits one gang Legrand and UK
standard electrical back-boxes.
Multi-Room
Audio/Video Amplifier/Controller and Controls
Xantech’s award-winning MRC88 Multi-Room A/V
Controller/Amplifier is an eight-source, eight-zone A/V distribution
amplifier that allows the control and distribution of eight separate
source components to eight different zones, with the capacity to expand
to up to sixteen zones of control and distribution. It allows control
of source components through both RS232 and IR, and can be used with
Xantech SmartPanel™ LCD Touchpanels as well as dedicated keypads.
Adding
to Xantech’s multi-room controller line is the new MX88 Multi-Room Audio/Video Controller/Amplifier. The MX88 is an integrated
audio/video tour-de-force, combining an audiophile-grade 16-channel/8-zone
multi-room amplifier with advanced video distribution and automation
features including IP communication and two-way interface with an iPhone
or iPod Touch.
MX88
Features:
- Updated, contemporary industrial design
- Intelligent and highly efficient green power supply with 100V-240V
Automatic voltage selection and low power consumption
- Built-in audiophile grade, high efficiency, 50W per channel, 4 ohm
stable digital amplifiers for all of the 8 zones (16 channels)
- IP enabled
- Quick Config (QC) enabled: Configurable with or without Universal
Dragon™
- Full metadata capability
- Plug and Play compatibility with HD88, XIS100, XT1, and XMusic
- 4U, standard rack width chassis with removable rack ears.
- Color-coded jacks for easy connection.
LCD
Touchpanels
Xantech expands its LCD Touchpanel offerings as it unveils a number
of products with IP connectivity. Xantech SmartPanel™ LCD Touchpanels
may be used separately as a controller for an entire residential or
commercial system, or integrated with the MX88 amplifier/controller
to unleash that components full flexibility and features in a multiroom
environment. They allow users to control audio, video and other components
from one high-resolution, durable, professional-grade TFT display. Touchscreens
generate RS-232, IR and IP commands for full integration into any system.
These integrated units can be installed in hollow walls without a backbox.
Touchpanels feature SD card slots for directly importing presentation
media. New product offerings – each featuring Video Input and
IP connectivity – include the SP43VIP 4.3-in
Widescreen Touchpanel controller, the SP70VIP 7.0-in
Widescreen Touchpanel controller and the SP100VIP 10.1-in
Widescreen Touchpanel controller.
Installed
Home Theater
Xantech’s new VDA51 Virtual Dolby® Decoder bridges the gap between multi-room audio and home theater. With the
VDA51 in-line in a zone, a pair of in-wall or ceiling speakers becomes
a surround-sound theater through Dolby Virtual surround. The VDA51 takes
a digital SPDIF output and delivers analog audio with virtual surround
to any zone. It offers the perfect solution for master bedrooms and
family rooms, where the theater surround experience is desirable but
five speakers are not. When a Dolby Digital stream is present, the unit
encodes the analog output with Dolby Virtual Speaker surround information,
creating a virtual surround effect from only two in-wall or ceiling
speakers. Dolby Virtual fine tuning selector lets the installer choose
Wide or Reference decoding (each setting a different level of surround
processing and perceived surround effect).
VDA51
Features:
- Accepts digital signal (Dolby Digital and PCM) from a source, and
outputs it as analog left and right audio.
- Component applications: use with Xantech HD88CC5, HD44CC5, or HDTXSG01,
and placed after an HDRXSG01 Component Video Extender. Or use with an
HD88C/HD44C SPDIF output.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
XANTECH GIVES INSTALLERS A POWERFUL ADVANTAGE WITH PROPRIETARY QUICKCONFIG INSTALLATION SOFTWARE FOR THE MRC88m A/V CONTROLLER/AMPLIFIER
— When employed with Xantech’s MRC88m, QuickConfig provides installers a competitive edge by streamlining the programming process while offering comprehensive configuration and eliminating the need for software training or a separate PC in the installation process —
— The MRC88m offers control and distribution of eight sources to eight different zones, with the capacity to expand to up to sixteen zones —
SYLMAR, CA, October 16, 2009 — Xantech, a leader in the field of audio/video remote control and distribution for 40 years, continues its ongoing efforts to provide residential and commercial installers with state-of-the-art solutions as it offers its proprietary QuickConfig installation/configuration software for the Xantech MRC88m Eight Zone/Source Audio/Video Controller/Amplifier. The award-winning MRC88m allows the control and distribution of eight separate components to eight different zones, with the capacity to expand to up to sixteen zones of control and distribution. Significantly streamlining the installation process and completely eliminating the need for a PC, QuickConfig software is an invaluable time-saver for installers looking to configure multiple zones and sources throughout a residence, business, courtroom or other space.
“For installers, time is money, and Xantech respects the value of both for its customers,” comments Xantech’s Senior Product Manager Thu Le. “With other software, these sorts of programming scenarios could generally take 60 to 90 minutes, or even longer. But with QuickConfig, it becomes a fraction of that – maybe 20 to 30 minutes. What formerly took half a morning or afternoon is now down to half a lunch break. During the testing phase, one of our own staff was able to do an entire system in literally ten minutes. No one else has software that can configure this quickly.”
QuickConfig software lets installers do all programming of sources and zones directly via the MRC88m’s keypad or SPLCD Touchscreen. Sources can include Xantech audio/video components or those from other manufacturers. QuickConfig also easily configures sources that have metadata, so information such as song title, artist and genre is clearly displayed.
Unlike other installation/configuration software of this caliber, absolutely no separate PC is required, and the software itself requires no special training for the installer. It is extremely intuitive and straightforward, guiding the installer one-by-one through the system components and manufacturer codes, much like programming a universal remote control device. The software is also a great time-saver, requiring far less set-up and configuration time than other protocols, and no additional time needs to be spent mastering the software.
With QuickConfig, the MRC88m is usable out of the box, and with this efficient yet comprehensive programming, a far wider range of installers can confidently offer this type of product, therefore adding services for installers to offer their customers. Also, QuickConfig’s flexibility is unmatched and provides installers with more choices. For example, they can later opt to expand a system and program additional operations with a PC, which can be easily accomplished.
“QuickConfig is another example of Xantech’s ongoing innovative work in making custom audio/video installation technology more accessible and easier to specify and install,” notes Xantech Director of Marketing and Business Development Mark Cerasuolo.
The MRC88m is now available, with proprietary QuickConfig software included. For more information, please visit www.xantech.com.
About the Xantech MRC88m Eight Zone/Source Audio/Video Controller/Amplifier
The MRC88m Eight Zone/Source Audio/Video Controller/Amplifier allows the control and distribution of eight separate source components to eight different zones, with the capacity to expand to up to sixteen zones of control and distribution. The MRC88m expands upon the capabilities of previous models by adding up to seven lines of metadata when used with the SPLCD64V, SPLCD64G and SPLCD39G. This metadata can be obtained from Xantech’s new XIS100 iPod Docking station, XMUSIC, XDT and XT1 AM/FM Tuners, and/or iPort. Included are both scrollable menu-style and current track information modes, featuring track title, artist and album name. Xantech’s connected keypads make the MRC88m fully interactive for control of the XIS100, XMusic and iPort. Additionally, the 88m offers a processing circuit that contains larger memory for project storage. It also features significantly improved RS-232 control input support for such control applications, leading to better handling of multiple and/or long input commands. Also, it contains the next generation IR code library.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATIONS SELECTS XANTECH LCD TOUCHSCREENS FOR FEDERAL COURTROOMS IN TEXAS
SYLMAR, CA, October 16, 2009 — Longview, Texas-based firm Audio Visual Presentations has more than four decades of experience in technical installations, sales and rental for their customers’ audio, video, integration, network, rental and problem-solving needs. Owner and company principal Kevin Modisette has recently been involved in several key installations for Federal Courts throughout eastern Texas, and he has chosen LCD touchscreens from Xantech Corporation, a leader in the field of audio/video remote control and distribution for 40 years.
“As a company, we do training rooms, schools, some general installations and some subcontracting for other A/V companies, but interestingly we’ve found a niche in the court system,” noted Modisette. “I’ve worked with courts so long that I can tailor every system to whatever the courts need. The Xantech touchscreens are the perfect fit.”
Modisette has selected several of Xantech’s CSPLCD64GW Commercial Touchscreen Displays for Federal Courts in the Eastern District of Texas, in Beaumont, Lufkin and Marshall. “I selected this screen for its compact size, professional, clean look, and reliable performance,” he stated. “The Touchscreen’s appearance is very sophisticated – perfect for a courtroom. Also, there are certain times when a court might need some split-screen capabilities, like in a patent case, where the document is split. These screens are particularly great for that. And the size is perfect. The 6.4-inch screen is not too big, not too little. And Xantech also has a model of the screen with Video PiP capabilities, in case we need video preview right on the control panel.”
About the CSPLCD64GW Commercial Touchscreen Display
Xantech’s Commercial LCD Touchscreen Controller series consists of three interactive touchpanels- a 3.9", 6.4" diagonal color graphic touchpanel and a 6.4" diagonal video touchpanel. All functionality and screen graphics are fully programmable using Xantech’s intuitive and easy to use Dragon Drop-IR™ programming software using either the RS232 or USB ports located behind the detachable faceplate. Each touchpanel has the ability to output RS232/422, IR and Voltage control to control a multitude of devices. The CSPLCD Panels all ship with Security Bezels and enclosed back boxes and offer Password screen protection as defined by the programmer. The RS232/422 port can be expanded to 8 ports using the RS2321X8 and offers full bi-directional feedback to the screen with Xantech’s Data Dictionary object library. Panels can be Wall mounted, rack mounted, or configured with an attractive desktop mount (rack mount and desktop mounts sold separately).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
XANTECH SHIPS RF2IR2w BI-DIRECTIONAL BASE STATION
— Complementing Xantech’s XTR39 LCD Remote, the RF2IR2w allows wireless RS232 feedback to LCD Remote for sophisticated control systems, perfect for conference rooms, bars/restaurants and houses of worship —
SYLMAR, CA, June 25, 2009 — Xantech Corporation, a leader in the field of audio/video remote control and distribution for 40 years, recently began shipping the new RF2IR2w Bi-Directional RS232 RF Base Station for the XTR39 LCD Remote. Utilizing a robust and reliable 2.4 GHz network (based on the ZigBee IEEE802.15.4 specification), the RF2IR2w units are perfect for Conference Room, Bar/Restaurant and House-of-Worship applications. Each base has four routable IR Output ports as well as a bi-directional RS232 port, allowing for wireless control of any IR and RS232 device while dramatically reducing a facility’s wiring infrastructure.
The RF2IR2w base station is the ultimate accessory for the XTR39. It is a receiver that accepts the radio frequency output of the XTR39 remote and translates it into IR and RS232 command signals that can control virtually any electronic device. The RF2IR2w makes it simple to set up a reliable and sophisticated multi-room control system that is easily controlled by the XTR39’s intuitive LCD touchscreen display.
With the new RF2IR2w, Xantech offers unparalleled bi-directional RS232 capabilities for its popular XTR39, providing dynamic volume feedback and device status display, including projector status and conference room dialer confirmation. With its low-profile design, the RF2IR2w can be placed inconspicuously at multiple locations throughout a facility. For larger installs, more than 250 RF2IR2w base stations can be used with a single XTR39 to handle any size wireless control system.
The RF2IR2w is now available at a U.S. MSRP of $210.00. For more information on Xantech’s full range of commercial products, please visit www.xantechcommercial.com.
