LiivController™ With vAutomation 2.0™: Total Control From Any iPad®
The first solution of its kind, LiivController™ combines automation controls and multi-room audio into one cost-effective system. Powered by VidaBox’s new vAutomation 2.0™ control platform, LiivController provides convenience and system management by allowing any iPad®, iPhone®, or iPod Touch® to access any equipment via Wi-Fi, turning these popular devices into the ultimate touch screen interface for any system component via IR, TCP/IP, and RS-232 commands sent from LiivController. The powerful vAutomation 2.0 platform can also be used to control any VidaBox media center, giving users complete access to Blu-rays, DVDs, Netflix, and more, and allowing them to browse through their media in the cover-flow style familiar to Apple® users.
The ultra-versatile LiivController LC-200 also controls four zones of synchronized multiroom audio, without the need for additional matrix switchers. Running on only 36 watts, this energy-efficient A/V automation controller and music server provides built-in Internet radio support, in addition to a variety of devices with two-way feedback. Audio can be streamed from stored music collections from any device across the network. The LiivController unit features seven 3.5-mm ports that can be used as IR, video sensor, contact closure sensor, or voltage sensor ports. The systems feature built-in IR learners and are expandable using Global Cache devices.
iPad2® On-Wall Mounts With iPower™ Charging Station
VidaBox’s on-wall iPad2® mounts add a touch of elegance to any high-end installation. Designed for consumers looking to incorporate the devices into their home systems, the mounts feature slim, sleek 19-mm aluminum frames in seven different colors and finishes. For integrators, the mounts are easy to assemble and install. Optional accessories include the iPCX™ charger extender kit for reliable charging via a single CAT5 cable, and the iPower™ charging station to continually charge up to four iPads from a centralized location over distances up to 100 feet using a single CAT5 cable.
