Unlike traditional systems that require intrusive hardwiring from a multiroom controller to each room, the Collage system distributes media and communication over a home’s 110 volt electrical wiring without needing to install long runs of new wiring. System compo- nents are easily installed anywhere electrical wiring is run in a home.
The Collage Amplifi ed Keypad features a high-resolution VGA display for viewing system status information, as well as metadata from the music being played and feeds from CCTV cameras. The capacitive touch buttons and scroll wheel provide easy, intuitive selection of sources and network accessible music. An internal FM radio tuner serves as an additional source, and built-in microphone allows for intercom communication and room monitoring.
The Collage Media Manager establishes the network connection between the Collage Amplifi ed Keypads and your home’s Local Area Network. It broadcasts up to 3 independent streams of digital music from your network or the Internet to up to 10 Collage Ampli- fi ed Keypads.
