Premier Industry Trade Publication Honors Years Best Handheld Controller Based on Dealer Feedback DENVER, CO -September 14, 2006 - The T3 Universal Handheld Controller from Remote Technologies, Inc., (RTI) has won the coveted Excite Award as the Most Exciting Remote Control for 2006. The award is sponsored by Custom Retailer Magazine in recognition of innovation, design, and manufacturing achievement. This year dealers were asked to nominate their favorite products, which allowed winners to be chosen directly from those who use them the most. The T3 Universal Handheld Controller represents the finest technology currently available from RTI, the innovator in home entertainment control technology.
We are extremely honored to have received the Excite Award this year from Custom Retailer, said Pete Baker, vice president of sales and marketing for RTI. Our team of designers worked tirelessly to create the ultimate in handheld controllers, and it is gratifying to have that effort recognized by one of the premier publications in the industry through what our dealers have shared about the product.
The T3 is a powerful and easy to use handheld controller. With a full-color TFT LCD display, 32-bit MCU, 32MB of memory, and a Wi-Fi communication option, the T3 takes remote control to a whole new level. The amazing T3 Universal System Controller combines the power and flexibility of a graphic LCD touchscreen with an ergonomic design that permits effortless one-handed operation. On its own, the T3 is the most user-friendly universal remote control on the market today. Combined with the other RTI TheaterTouch products, the T3 becomes a robust commercial-quality control system.
The T3 takes complete control of the home theater, replacing all other remotes. It features a bright, high-contrast TFT LCD that can display custom buttons, text, graphics and animations. In addition to the backlit display, there are 16 hard buttons which allow easy access to frequency-used functions.
Programming is easy and convenient thanks to the Windows -based TheaterTouch Designer software. When used with the available RTI accessory devices, the T3 is capable of RF transmission through walls and cabinets, power sensing for reliable operation, and RS 232 communications for advanced control.
