Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI) takes control to new heights with the introduction of the new K4 In-Wall Universal Controller ($2,499). Itís the first stand-alone touchpanel with infrared control, video monitoring, and Ethernet connectivity that provides effortless integration with any size project. No other controller provides the K4ís wealth of function, level of customization and design versatility. The K4 controller will be available in the 1st quarter of 2005. ìWith our new K4 In-Wall Universal Controller the custom installers will have an elegant color touchpanel packed with features and a open architecture that can be easily programmed with our Windows-based TheaterTouch Designer software. This will provide the installer with a complete control solution that can be custom tailored to any size projectî said Pete Baker, director of sales and marketing for RTI.ìThe K4 gives custom installers the ideal building block for integrating virtually any electronic component available into a control system that perfectly complements a homeís aesthetics and the clientís tastes.î RTIís K4 features a 6.4-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with full VGA resolution, powerful 32-bit processor, and infrared receiver that lets installers provide users complete and precise control over all audio/video components, lights, or other electronic systems. Its touchscreen is small enough to blend into a roomís interior, yet it provides the detail necessary for displaying video windows and web pages. The K4 interface has a 32-MB Flash memory, making it fully programmable using RTIís TheaterTouch Designer software, which has evolved over the past decade to become the most rock-solid programming interface available. It lets installers easily display custom buttons, text, graphics, and animations.The controller maintains all settings and configurations even when power is lost. The K4 can directly control almost any audio/video component, lighting or HVAC system using its infrared output port or other related accessories for RS-232 control. In addition, the built-in Ethernet port allows the K4 to access the Internet. An optional video card provides the ability to digitize composite video for full screen or scalable viewing of security cameras or other video sources which could include viewing and selecting songs stored on a hard drive music server. An on-board microphone and stereo speakers are also included. The K4 can be used as a stand-alone device or as part of an expandable central control system. When used with the available RTI accessory devices, the K4 is capable of infrared routing, relay control, power sensing, and RS-232 communications for advanced control.For additional information on RTI, please visit www.rticorp.com.
