4K Multi-room Video
Ultra-High Definition, also known as 4K technology, has taken the entertainment world by storm – and for a good reason. UHD video brings brilliant, captivating images to the screen that are in vivid, bright colors. With the highest amount of resolution available, you’ll feel immersed in the film right in your own living room.
To keep up with this growing movement, Control4 created a new line of 4K Ultra HD multi-room video solutions including audio and video matrix switches. With the LU1082 4K AV switch, you can easily and quickly distribute content to any room in your house from 10 different sources, such as: DirecTV, Netflix, and a Blu-Ray player. Since the sources, like your cable box, are all kept in one place, you can get rid of clutter and unsightly wires. All of the technological components will be out of the way, and you can use one control device for every content platform. Control4 also gives you options for modes of control, including a smartphone or tablet, a handheld remote, or a touch screen installed in the wall. With these 4K solutions, you’ll be ready for whatever the future has to offer in entertainment.
HD Intercom
Intercom systems have come a long way since the 70s. Now you can easily communicate with everyone throughout the house, and guests, via HD video and audio. You’ll be able to screen visitors by seeing them at the front door and talking to them through outdoor speakers. Keep an eye on the kids as they get ready in the morning by viewing them with the in-wall touch screen in your bedroom, then tell them to hurry up if you’re running late. This feature is not only convenient, but is beneficial for security purposes as well.
Wearable Tech
The first time you saw someone talk into their watch to issue an important command, it was probably on Star Trek or in a Mission Impossible film. But today this technology has been realized with the Apple Watch and various other models. According to Forbes, 245 million wearable devices are expected to ship in 2019. People want to wear their tech because it's portable, convenient, and just plain cool. Control4 just announced that you can now manage your Control4 smart home with the Apple Watch.
