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 theater, without compromising simplicity. The MX-6000 is the first home theater 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 theater 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 theater 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.
