Sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and held in conjunction with the Electronic House Fall EXPO at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, Calif., the MRA's recognize significant contributions to the multi-room audio and video market. The XP-8, a high-end remote control processor for automating the operation of electronic systems in residential and commercial environments, received top honors in the Controllers/Distribution Apparatus category.
RTI's XP-8 is the most advanced control system available in it's price range; combining power, flexibility, affordability and ease of programming, said Pete Baker, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for RTI. RTI is proud to win the coveted EHX MRA. It gives us great satisfaction to see that our efforts in manufacturing the highest quality customizable control products are being recognized by the experts in our industry through this awards program.
The XP-8 Remote Control Processor interfaces seamlessly with all RTI remote controls and touch panels, acting as the brain behind the expanded RTI control system. Features include an abundance of basic control ports such as infrared, relay control and power sensors, in addition to providing advanced control interface options such as two-way RS-232, USB and Ethernet interfaces. Internet connectivity allows the custom installer or RTI's technical support team to provide updates to the processor remotely.
The XP-8 incorporates a powerful 32-bit, 200MHz XScale processor and 32MB of non-volatile Flash memory for faster response and advanced command storage. The sizable memory capacity provide ample storage for very large and complex system configurations and command strings and will further retain all stored information and programming in the event of a power failure.
The XP-8 interfaces with all RTI modules as well as industry-standard IR emitters and may be either rack or stack mounted. Its amazingly broad array of control ports and switches includes two USB ports, eight multi-purpose I/O ports, eight two-way RS-232 ports, eight sense inputs and one RS-485 communication port for future expansion, as well as 11 front panel buttons for universal control. The XP-8 is efficiently programmed via RTI's proprietary, award-winning TheaterTouch Designer Software and its open-architecture platform allows for seamless integration with virtually any component from any manufacturer as well as with the entire family of RTI products.
