It employs reliable ZigBee 2-way wireless technology to provide users with all the necessary metadata to scan, select and play program material from menu-based digital sources, like iPods, music servers, HD Radio, XM and Sirius satellite radio, from their whole house audio/video system.
That's why Simon brought up metadata and his comment reflects an acute understanding of industry direction: the more we expect to get our music and videos anywhere and anytime, the more you need "metadata" to recognize and aid the movements.
The iRemoteTS integrates with Niles HT-MSU Home Theater Main System Unit to manage all components in a home theater system including TV, home theater receiver and up to 14 additional sources like digital video recorders, DVD players and cable/satellite receivers with the single press of its touch screen interface.
"The combination of the iRemoteTS, HT-MSU and Intellicontrol ICS make a powerful addition to the integrators•' tool kit," says Frank Sterns, president of Niles. "With the introduction of the iRemoteTS, it is now possible for Intellicontrol ICS customers to control their entire distributed audio/video system and home theater from a single color touch screen remote."
