Contact your sales person or email our sales team iControl - the NEW way of home and commercial automation   Automation systems are designed to simplify our lives by bringing together various components such as lighting, distributed audio, displays, DVD’s and decoders etc. The user is removed from the individual systems by a user interface such as a universal remote control or touch panel. The OLD control system method was via a central processor with programs written to communicate to each of the devices. The information would be duplicated in the processor and be available on a user interface. As technology has advanced, the devices have become more “intelligent” . The NEW automation systems simply take advantage of this ability to communicate and allow the user interface to interact directly with each device resulting in great system independence. No central processor – no catastrophic system failures - no expensive hardware to maintain. With the added benefit of reduced wiring.   Speak to us about implementing a VERY cost effective home automation system....Read More  .....Ivans Insight Justin Mamulis - promoted to National Sales Manager Audio Visual iLed proudly announces that Justin Mamulis has been promoted to National Sales Manager Audio Visual within the iLED group of companies.

Our iDock Basic is integrated into the wall. A special flush- mounted socket is used for this purpose. The iDock Basic is then connected to the power supply and inserted into the flush-mounted socket. Done! Now you can place your iPad into the docking station; the rechargeable iPad battery is automatically charged. Naturally you can also use the iPad while it is in the iDock. We are particularly proud of the opening mechanism: By activating the proximity sensor, the iPad intake automatically changes to the open position, allowing you to insert your iPad. After ten seconds the iPad intake closes again automatically. This will even impress Steve Jobs! And should you at some stage experience a power outage, no problem. The iDock Basic then simply opens automatically and re- leases the iPad so that you can continue using it. As you can see, we‘ve thought about everything.    The iDock Basic can also be connected to an external potential-free contact iRoom’s iDock Basic is produced in Austria.

28 JANUARY 2011 - NOW SHIPPING - APART AUDIO PUBSET-2000-BL The APart PUBSET-2000BL is a complete and extremely powerful compact audio system that is suitable for bars, pubs, restaurants, taverns, clubs, sports centers and others. The PUBSET system is a perfectly balanced audio system. The sound quality, exceptional long-term reliability and above all affordable price will ease your search for a complete audio solution for applications from back ground music up to “dance level” music. The heart of the system is the PUBDRIVE-2000; a 3 channel amplifier. It has a subwoofer channel and a left & right channel output to drive the satellite loudspeakers. The build-in X-overs and AP® limiter together with the quality of the oversized components, make this amplifier fail-proof. The integrated processors allow a custom-build and personal sound adjustment. The two passive bandpass subwoofers (Ref.: SUB2400) have an incredible bass response compared to their small size. This small size makes it easy to hide or integrate the subwoofers into the interior. The 10” dual coil woofers supply you with a punchy and powerful bass. The Auto Reset protection system inside contributes to the system’s reliability. Last but not least, the MASK8BL Top loudspeakers perfectly match with these SUB2400’s. These wooden top cabinets have a HiFi sound that comes close to studio monitor quality, even at High power levels. The loudspeakers are available in black and white. The 3-step Protection Guard® with Auto Reset function makes sure the loudspeakers won’t break down. The extended protection systems that have been integrated in all components (subwoofers, satellites and amplifier) and the fact that loudspeakers and amplifier have been developed to be used together, result in a fail-safe sound system, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This way people in the venue can enjoy a dynamic sound quality. On the other hand, the people who have installed the system can enjoy their quiet and silent nights without urgent service interventions! 27 JANUARY 2011 NOW SHIPPING SPEAKERCRAFT CRS 8 ZERO Riding on the wave of success that we created 2 years ago when we identified the need for a cost effective, easy to install and great sounding 6 inch in-ceiling speaker, iLED are very happy to announce the release of our brand new 8” version the CRS8 Zero   The popularity of flush-mounted speakers in the ceiling continues to grow.

INTELIX INTRODUCES 8X8 HDMI TWISTED PAIR MATRIX

Middleton, WI- Intelix LLC, U.S. manufacturer of audio/video equipment and software, announced the release of the DIGI-HD-8X8, a professional-grade matrix switcher with eight HDMI inputs, eight HDMI outputs, and eight twisted pair extender outputs.

The Intelix DIGI-HD-8X8 combines Intelix’s matrix switching technology with their industry-leading twisted pair extenders, providing an easy-to-use, flexible, and powerful solution for residential, commercial, and digital signage audio-visual applications.

The DIGI-HD-8X8 routes eight HDMI inputs to eight HDMI outputs and eight twisted pair extender outputs, both of which are active simultaneously. When used in conjunction with a compatible Intelix twisted pair receiver, the matrix extends output signals up to 150 feet over standard-grade Cat 5e or Cat 6. Plus, the DIGI-HD-8X8 is the first Intelix matrix to incorporate HDshak® processing—revolutionary EDID negotiation technology which ensures source and destination handshaking over twisted pair cable.

In addition to routing audio and video signals, the DIGI-HD-8X8 features eight pass-through IR channels which distribute remote IR commands from in-room controllers over the twisted pair cable and out of the matrix, thereby allowing complete control of source devices connected to the matrix, such as DVD players and receivers.

The DIGI-HD-8X8 supports 1080i and 1080p high-definition video, and is HDMI 1.3b and HDCP compliant. The system provides diagnostics and control via a built-in front panel touch screen or remotely via RS232, IR, Ethernet, or with an included wireless remote control.

NEW WIRELESS CONTROL PANEL ADVANCED FEATURES


New control panels are being introduced using a more powerful processor that allows more functions to be introduced into the wall panel (applies to RCP, RCS and RAH07 controls).

These functions can be found on all controllers v1.6.1 onwards, accessed by pressing and holding buttons on the control panels.

The new features include; fade rates, power-up mode and master control by a 'press-n-hold' function.

SpeakerCraft, the world leader in custom installed loudspeakers and electronics, announced a ground-breaking new A/V distribution and control system today. Called Nirv, the new system will feature several innovations that will obsolete many of the current offerings on the market.

"Being allowed to create the product from the ground up with no legacy system requirements gave us incredible design freedom," says Jason Craze, SpeakerCraft's Director of Electronic Development, who headed up the project. "We wanted the system to be powerful, flexible, simplistic to program and to operate with unparalleled audio and video quality. Our team has hit it out of the park in every area."

The system has a modular architecture instead of a massive central hub design. This means the dealer will only need to buy the pieces necessary for the specific system he has designed and upgrading or expanding is as simple as adding what is needed to the network. On screen

programming is so easy and intuitive it can be accomplished on-site by virtually anyone on the project team.

All media, data, control, and communication signals are distributed through a single CAT5 cable making system wiring both simple and cost efficient. Beyond standard A/V distribution, the system also integrates theatre surround sound, home automation, and page / intercom into one easy-to-manage package.

"It's the first system of its kind that allows the user to own the experience instead of having the experience dictated by the equipment," said Jeremy Burkhardt, SpeakerCrafts President. "The system is almost transparent bringing content and control to the fingertips of the user through either touchpanel keypads or while navigating a GUI on the video screen. The remote single-handedly takes the complexity out of owning this type of system. You have to experience it to truly understand what a landmark product this is."

That experience will first be available at the Nirv dome in the SpeakerCraft booth at the CEDIA Expo. Dealers will be able to see a full demonstration and talk to members of the design team. Product will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2010.
