IT’S… A range of ‘quality yet affordable’ LAN-based home automation products.
DETAILS: The Total Control range encompasses network system controllers, network switches, multi-zone audio amplifiers, streaming network players, security cameras and keypads. The rackmountable MRX-
10 system controller is the brains of any Total Control project. It stores and issues commands and macros to eight IR ports, four RS232 devices, two relays, all IP and four sensor-controlled devices in one system. Providing two-way communication with Total Control remotes and
keypads, it is expandable via LAN to up to 32 MRX-series sub-base stations. The system can be programmed or updated remotely. Total Control DMS amplifiers allow non- compressed, unconverted CD-quality sound to be streamed throughout the home, synchronised between adjoining rooms. The DMS-1200 is an eight- zone digital amplifier with 50W per channel for zones 1 through to 6, and preamp for zones 7 and 8. Meanwhile, the DMS-100 is a single-zone amplifier which allows audio to be added to any additional room in the property.
The TKP-2000 network
keypad is a 3.5in graphic touchscreen offering complete metadata feedback for all compatible products, with two-way communication for IP and RS232 control. Needing just a single Cat5 cable for installation, it communicates via wired LAN and can be programmed remotely via the internet.
AND ALSO: Similar functionality to the TKP- 2000 touchscreen comes from Total Control Mobile – a fully functional iPhone and iPad app.
