NILES iC2™ HOME
THEATER AUTOMATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM NOW SHIPPING
Big button interface provides one-touch operation
of even the most complicated home theater systems and offers installers an easy-to-use
and simple-to-install solution
MIAMI, FLORIDA, February 14, 2008 – Niles Audio
Corporation, The First Name In Custom Installation®,
today announced that the company’s iC2—an easy-to-use,
simple-to-install, advanced home theater automation system—is
now shipping. The iC2 consists of two components, an elegant user interface
with large easy-to-see buttons and a main system unit that manages
all other components in a home theater system including television,
home theater receiver and up to 14 additional sources like digital
video recorders, DVD players and cable/satellite receivers. The iC2
system has a flexible architecture that accommodates virtually any
home theater design and is equipped with ZigBee® wireless technology
to ensure consistently reliable operation of complicated system turn-on/set-up
procedures from the touch of a single button. With the Niles iC2 system,
custom installation professionals can now offer their clients rewarding
home theater viewing experiences that anyone in the family can access
from an intuitive user interface. Even young children and seniors will
enjoy home theater with none of the hassles associated with synchronizing
and operating increasingly complicated home theater systems.
“We targeted a growing segment of customers who
prefer an easy-to-see, button-based wireless remote that automates
even the most complicated home theaters with a single touch,” said
Frank Sterns, president of Niles. “Now anyone in the family can
operate the most complicated home theater from a single tactile user
interface.
The iC2 Home Theater Automation and Control System has
the added advantage of being simple to set up and install by professional
integrators. The main system unit, which houses all component commands
and issues them in the appropriate sequence, is programmed easily via
Niles QuickConfig™ wizard-based software. During system configuration,
the installer answers a series of logical questions after which the
system is automatically configured and transferred to the main system
unit via Niles IRCS Infrared Capture Station. QuickConfig saves installers
time on the job and reduces their learning curve, both of which lead
to improved productivity. The iC2 Home Theater Automation and Control
System is now shipping to authorized Niles dealers.
