ECI and rAVe Europe WebTV talk to Control4 EMEA VP Tony Leedham at ISE 2011 on its latest touchscreen control platform, InfinityEdge.
Even though the iPad now has part of the market, Control 4 still sees value in producing its own touchscreens-- even if Apple's device did bring about more awareness on touch-based interfaces.
The InfinityEdge in-wall touchscreen platform allows users to connect and manage all the home's networked devices and automation from lighting to movies, energy, security, temperature , music and more.
Control4 has a Europe-exclusive lighting range at the show, including DIN rail lighting and UK/European form factor dimmers and switches. The company's ISE stand also has demos from 6 technology partners, alongside a range of its latest apps.

Region 1 Chairman Robert Hallam tells rAVe Europe Web TV at ISE 2011 CEDIA is increasing its education programs and benefits throughout non-English speaking parts of Europe, offering its EST II certification exam in multiple languages throughout the show.
It's a "tremendously successful" ISE 2011 for all involved, Hallam says-- with an increase in growth that hopefully should continue through the entire industry this year.
CEDIA also has its technology show-- the Home Technology Event-- this June. Sitting between ISE at CEDIA USA's show, the UK event will have 13 new exhibitors as it focuses on the residential market. Hallam says the event is getting "significant" support, and the organisation hopes for a larger attendance as a result of the knock-on effect seen at ISE rippling through the industry.
Also on the calendar is CEDIA's Awards event-- with entries throughout CMEA and beyond.
Hallam says CEDIA wants to continue offering value for its members-- both through education and outreaching to other groups, like the Intellect group (whose members include the likes of Sony, Intel, Sky and BT).

According to DisplaySearch Q4 2011 LCD 3DTV panel shipments total 7.8M with 26% Q-o-Q growth-- with 2011 3DTV panel shipments reaching 21.2M, or 10% of total LCD TV panel shipments for the year.
As a result panel makers are predicting strong 138% Y-o-Y growth for 2012 3D panel shipments, or 50M units shipped with a penetration rate of 21.6% of all LCD TV panel shipments.
“As brands continue to promote 3D, end-user awareness and interest is growing. While there are still concerns about the lack of 3D content and services, as well as end-users' needs, LCD TV panel makers have pushed 3D capability via lower prices and the introduction of new, cost-effective technologies,” the analyst says.
Shutter glass technology accounts for 6.2% of total 2011 LCD TV shipments while patterned retarder shipments make 3.9%, with DisplaySearch forecasts saying 2012 penetration rates will increase to 11.6% for shutter glass and 10% for pattern retarder.

The Triad InRoom Silver LR-H home theatre loudspeaker combines traditional firing-drivers with an integrated Dolby Atmos-enabled module directing sound towards the ceiling.
It uses two front-firing 6.5-inch drivers with a 1-inch tweeter, together with an upwards-firing top array featuring four 3-inch drivers, making for a boost in both size and power from its predecessor, the Bronze LR-H.
When it comes to installations Triad recommends using a 5.1.4 Atmos configuration, with one Silver LR-H in each of the left and right front and left and right rear surround positions, complementing the center channel speaker and subwoofers.
