WiFi Speed Brings Cover Art, Artist, Album
and Titles to the Touch Screen!
The revolutionary MX-6000 brings the power of
WiFi networking to the home theatre,
without compromising simplicity. The
MX-6000 is the
first home theatre remote
control to offer two independent communications and
control methods simultaneously. The MX-6000 provides
both a narrow band 418 MHz transmitter for instant
control of conventional home theatre
components and a WiFi transceiver for high speed
transfer of cover art, artist, album and title
metadata. The high speed of the built-in 802.11 B/G
WiFi transceiver enables the MX-6000 to display
lists of artists, albums or songs and to display the
cover art of the selected album on the Now Playing
screen of the remote control. |

Internet Connection Provides Real Time News,
Sports, Weather and Stocks
When the MX-6000 is connected to the
Internet, pre-programmed modules enable instant
access to personalized news, sports, weather and
stocks. Unlike other devices, the MX-6000’s
news, sports, weather and stocks modules are
user-configurable without a programmer or a PC.
On a whim, you can check out the opposing team’s
scores, or get the weather forecast for a
vacation destination. News, Sports, Weather and
Stocks modules require that the MX-6000 be
installed to a WiFi router with an Internet
connection.
Narrow Band RF for Instant Control
The MX-6000 offers home theatre
owners instant no rules control of AV receivers,
flat screen TVs, projectors, cable and satellite
receivers, DVD players and changers. Unlike
other WiFi remote controls, the MX-6000 uses a
second RF (Radio Frequency) transmitter to
control conventional gear instantly, without the
frustrating delay of waiting for the remote
control to "join the network" when you simply
want to turn the system on. There are three
possible companion RF base stations that provide
instant control. The MSC-400 Master System
Controller enhances the capabilities of the
MX-6000 by storing and issuing Smart Macros to
your main system components. These smart macro
commands offer the ultimate in reliability and
speed, since a single command, measuring
fractions of a second, can trigger long complex
macro routines with RS-232, IR, relays or even
USB keyboard commands to a PC.
The MRF-350 and MRF-260 RF base stations enable
an MX-6000 to address or route IR commands to
conventional components anywhere in your home.
By placing MRF base stations near your TVs,
cable/sat receivers and other conventional IR
controlled components, you can enjoy instant, no
pointing, no rules operation everywhere in your
home.
PC Server for MX-6000
Instead of purchasing an expensive “Media
PC” or dedicated music server, any PC with
iTunes and/or Windows Media Player can be
connected to your audio system to act as a high
powered music server with the most engaging,
intuitive user interface you’ve ever seen.
MX-6000 Server is a software application that
once installed on a PC, combines your iTunes
library with your Media Player library. The
MX-6000 utilizes its network connection via WiFi
to communicate with the server software on the
PC. Since all communication happens at WiFi “G”
speeds, there are no lags or delays displaying
the information or lists on the screen of the
MX-6000. All your cover art, artist, album and
song title metadata appear on the screen of the
MX-6000. Lists are navigated via the integrated
scroll wheel without ever connecting a keyboard
or mouse to the PC. At last, you have access to
all the music you’ve paid for... all the music
you want without the hassles... the music simply
plays...
Reinventing the Touch Screen
 |
Automatic Backlighting The integral
motion sensor detects any movement of
the touch screen and automatically
backlights the screen. The user does not
have to press any button to display the
screen. Any movement of the MX-6000
renews the backlighting. Without
movement, the touch screen stays lit for
1 to 99 seconds (programmed by the
installer). Not Just Colour, Animated
Colour! Powered by a 533MHz ARM9
microprocessor, the MX-6000 is the first
touch screen designed for animation. The
powerful central processor enables
quick, fluid page transitions and
animated macros. |
The 4.3” screen offers a 480x272 pixel window
to any graphic. Your professional installer can
place BMPs, JPEGs, GIFs, animated GIFs or FLASH
SWF files in your configuration. The
World of Sound Equipped with a speaker and a PC
recording, your installer can add talking help
buttons (recorded on any PC with a microphone)
or music to your macros via any WAV file.
Double Capacity Lithium Ion Batteries and
Charging Base
The demands of WiFi and high speed transfers
coupled with a large colour
touch screen raise the demand for power to a new
high. The MX-6000 is equipped with a unique
double capacity Lithium Ion battery, providing
over 4 hours of continuous use before recharging
is necessary. Should the MX-6000 be left on a
table, it will remain in standby mode for ten
(10) days without requiring a recharge. The
attractive charging base offers an ideal angle
to use while charging, so may be placed on or
near your chair. In addition, the MX-6000 offers
a power input on its side panel, so that it can
be hand held while charging directly from the
power adapter.
