Just Add Power (J+P) announces the 709P2P 3G-- a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) point-to-point transmitter allowing installers to use a single power input to distribute video, audio, power and control to all downstream devices over CAT5e cable.
Installers can pair the 709P2P with any J+P receiver to create a simple point-to-point connection, or combine it with the daisy-chain receiver from the company for installations of up to 4 displays. The transmitter distributes UHD 4K video with HDCP 2.2 over a single CAT5e cable, with support for all lossless audio formats including Dolby Atmos, as well as RS232 and IR control signals using the VBS-HDMI-IRD RS232 to IR converter.
Within each C5 series model are Class AB mono-block analog amplifiers rated at 150W per channel. The amplifiers maintain peak reserve capability the company claims doubles down to 2 ohms, closing in at 600W per channel. Thus, a solo C55 can drive a 5.1 surround theatre, with a few required to drive Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D and DTS:X theatres. They can also bi-amplifier speakers or mate with active cross-overs.
The two speakers have a high density, UV-treated polyproylene damping cabinet, and are the first enclosures from the company to obtain IP66 certification. Inside the duo are aluminium inverted dome tweeters and a bass/mid-range speaker driver with a waterproof polypropylene cone and polyglass treatment for perfect definition.
The one-call button is backlit, helping users easily find the product, and users can set the button to operate as either a call button or automatic door opener within individually set time windows. The keypad features 12 backlit buttons, while a companion app provides means to view visitor history, push notifications, PIN codes, scheduling and permissions for users to operate the keypad.
Samsung calls such additions "Bixby Capsules." Essentially the equivalent of Alexa Skills or Google Assistant Actions, they bring more features to the Bixby AI, as well as the potential to control more smart home devices like the other currently available AI assistants. Such "Bixby experiences" will be available through an appropriate marketplace providing users with a range of custom Bixby interactions.
The RAX80 is based on the Broadcom BCM49408 SoC. It features two 802.11ax radios together with a 1.8GHz quad-core ARMv8 processor and an 800MHz network packet co-processor. The radios are in a 4x4:4 configuration, with one handling 2.4GHz duties (bgn+ax, with 40 MHz channels for 1150 Mbps of theoretical throughput), and the other the 5GHz channel (an+ac+ax, with 160 MHz channel support for 4800 Mbps of theoretical throughput).
