MX-6000 Color Touchscreen IR/RF Universal Remote Control
MX-6000 Product Features
WiFi Speed Brings Cover Art,
Artist, Album and Titles to the Touch Screen!
The revolutionary MX-6000 brings the power of WiFi networking to
the home theater, without compromising simplicity. The MX-6000
is the first home theater remote control to offer two
independent communications and control methods simultaneously.
The MX-6000 provides both a narrow band 418 MHz transmitter for
instant control of conventional home theater components and a
WiFi transceiver for high speed transfer of cover art, artist,
album and title metadata. The high speed of the built-in 802.11
B/G WiFi transceiver enables the MX-6000 to display lists of
artists, albums or songs and to display the cover art of the
selected album on the Now Playing screen of the remote control.
Internet Connection
Provides Real Time News, Sports, Weather and Stocks
When the MX-6000 is connected to the Internet, pre-programmed
modules enable instant access to personalized news, sports,
weather and stocks. Unlike other devices, the MX-6000’s news,
sports, weather and stocks modules are user-configurable without
a programmer or a PC. On a whim, you can check out the opposing
team’s scores, or get the weather forecast for a vacation
destination. News, Sports, Weather and Stocks modules require
that the MX-6000 be installed to a WiFi router with an Internet
connection.
Narrow Band RF for Instant
Control
The MX-6000 offers home theater owners instant no rules control
of AV receivers, flat screen TVs, projectors, cable and
satellite receivers, DVD players and changers. Unlike other WiFi
remote controls, the MX-6000 uses a second RF (Radio Frequency)
transmitter to control conventional gear instantly, without the
frustrating delay of waiting for the remote control to
"join the network" when you simply want to turn the
system on. There are three possible companion RF base stations
that provide instant control. The MSC-400 Master System
Controller enhances the capabilities of the MX-6000 by storing
and issuing Smart Macros to your main system components. These
smart macro commands offer the ultimate in reliability and
speed, since a single command, measuring fractions of a second,
can trigger long complex macro routines with RS-232, IR, relays
or even USB keyboard commands to a PC.
The MRF-350 and MRF-260 RF base stations enable an MX-6000 to
address or route IR commands to conventional components anywhere
in your home. By placing MRF base stations near your TVs,
cable/sat receivers and other conventional IR controlled
components, you can enjoy instant, no pointing, no rules
operation everywhere in your home.
PC Server for MX-6000
Instead of purchasing an expensive “Media PC” or dedicated
music server, any PC with iTunes and/or Windows Media Player can
be connected to your audio system to act as a high powered music
server with the most engaging, intuitive user interface you’ve
ever seen.
MX-6000 Server is a software application that once installed on
a PC, combines your iTunes library with your Media Player
library. The MX-6000 utilizes its network connection via WiFi to
communicate with the server software on the PC. Since all
communication happens at WiFi “G” speeds, there are no lags
or delays displaying the information or lists on the screen of
the MX-6000. All your cover art, artist, album and song title
metadata appear on the screen of the MX-6000. Lists are
navigated via the integrated scroll wheel without ever
connecting a keyboard or mouse to the PC. At last, you have
access to all the music you’ve paid for... all the music you
want without the hassles... the music simply plays...
Reinventing the Touch
Screen
Automatic Backlighting The integral motion sensor detects any
movement of the touch screen and automatically backlights the
screen. The user does not have to press any button to display
the screen. Any movement of the MX-6000 renews the backlighting.
Without movement, the touch screen stays lit for 1 to 99 seconds
(programmed by the installer). Not Just Color, Animated Color!
Powered by a 533MHz ARM9 microprocessor, the MX-6000 is the
first touch screen designed for animation. The powerful central
processor enables quick, fluid page transitions and animated
macros.
The 4.3” screen offers a 480x272 pixel window to any graphic.
Your professional installer can place BMPs, JPEGs, GIFs,
animated GIFs or FLASH
SWF files in your configuration. The World of Sound Equipped
with a speaker and a PC recording, your installer can add
talking help buttons (recorded on any PC with a microphone) or
music to your macros via any WAV file.
Double Capacity Lithium
Ion Batteries and Charging Base
The demands of WiFi and high speed transfers coupled with a
large color touch screen raise the demand for power to a new
high. The MX-6000 is equipped with a unique double capacity
Lithium Ion battery, providing over 4 hours of continuous use
before recharging is necessary. Should the MX-6000 be left on a
table, it will remain in standby mode for ten (10) days without
requiring a recharge. The attractive charging base offers an
ideal angle to use while charging, so may be placed on or near
your chair. In addition, the MX-6000 offers a power input on its
side panel, so that it can be hand held while charging directly
from the power adapter.
