Control4 Launches New Portable Touch Screen
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — CEDIA Expo 2011 – September 8-10,
2011 – Booth #2302 – Control4, a leader in affordable IP-based home control
systems introduces a new portable touch screen to their award-winning touch
screen family. The Control4® 7″ Portable Touch Screen offers two-way intelligent
control and navigation of a Control4® system. With a capacitive full-color LCD
panel, the new touch screen has a sleek look and dedicated control functionality
that homeowners are unable to get from other tablet devices.
The Control4 7″ Portable Touch Screen expands the already incredibly successful
line of Control4 in-wall touch screens by giving homeowners welcome flexibility.
The Portable has a sleek tablet form-factor and comes with both a long-lasting
rechargeable battery and a tabletop charging station. Out of the cradle, the
Portable offers excellent wireless range so you can easily move about the house
and outside while still enjoying complete control. When the tablet is affixed to
the docking station, it functions as a tabletop touch screen, ideal for
locations like nightstands, end tables and kitchen counters where anytime access
is important but an in-wall or fully portable device doesn’t make sense.
Users simply tap the display screen to access any of the home’s subsystems,
including lighting, security, surveillance, music, and even cool Flash-based
control apps for energy monitoring, streaming radio services, parental movie
controls, door locks and setting vacation or wake-up scenes. The touch screen
also features four programmable buttons for quick access to favorite control
features.
The Control4 7″ Portable Touch Screen also provides intercom functionality with
a license activation. The intercom allows the homeowner to have an ongoing
conversation with a person at another intercom device without requiring either
person to hold down a button; occupants can ring room-to-room; “Do not disturb”
and privacy features are also available to provide control over the use of the
intercom. The Portable also adds whole home intercom functionality by allowing
users to take an intercom device from one room to another room or into parts of
the house where you might not install an in-wall touch screen.
The Control4 touch screen makes it easy for installers to add functionality and
install firmware upgrades. The devices are feature-rich and include Ethernet, AC
or Power-over-Ethernet and network connectivity. The MSRP is $999; Intercom
license is an additional $399.
