Pro Control Now Shipping Powerful New Line of Remote Control Solutions
Sleek Touch-Screen Controllers and Feature-Rich Central Processors Deliver Uncompromising Performance at an Attractive Price Point
SHAKOPEE, Minn. — Sept. 6, 2011 — Pro Control, a newly created division of Remote Technologies Inc., today announced that its powerful line of remote control solutions is now shipping. Created with a unique combination of one-touch simplicity and robust capabilities, the affordable Pro24.r and Pro24.z touch-screen controllers and the ProLink.r and ProLink.z central control processors deliver the power to address the unique demands of today's installations, including a wide variety of control options, integration with Apple® devices and PCs, and much more.
Sporting sleek, sophisticated designs, the Pro24.r and Pro24.z touch-screen controllers feature stunning high-resolution 2.4-inch LCD touch-screens, programmable five-way joystick (Pro24.z), and backlit hard buttons for intuitive operation even in a darkened room. When paired with Pro Control's ProLink.r and ProLink.z central control processors, the Pro24.r and Pro24.z are capable of taking full command of even the most complex electronic systems.
The powerful ProLink.r and ProLink.z processors feature an abundance of control options, including routable IR ports with adjustable output strength, two voltage-sensing inputs for improved management of connected devices, as well as Ethernet ports for network control of a virtually unlimited number of devices. The ProLink.z processor features an integrated 2.4-GHz ZigBee® antenna for bidirectional communication via the Pro24.z touch-screen controller, in addition to two two-way RS-232 ports for advanced control and monitoring of devices. The ProLink.r features an integrated 433-MHz RF antenna for one-way communication via the Pro24.r touch-screen controller. For the ultimate control experience, both processors integrate with the iPhone®, iPod touch®, iPad®, or PCs.
The new touch-screen controllers and central control processors are programmed using Pro Control's easy-to-use, wizard-based software. Available only to dealers, Pro Control's software allows for unmatched customization and sports efficient features like "auto program" to reduce dramatically programming time and increase profitability for installers.
"Designed for installers who believe that a great price doesn't have to come at the expense of advanced functionality, the new Pro Control touch-screen controllers and central processors combine to offer completely customized, high-performance remote control systems at extremely attractive price points," said Mike Everett, general manager for Pro Control. "By providing such value to installers and their customers, our remote control line is sure to be a hit at CEDIA EXPO 2011 and we can't wait to show it off."
Later this year, Pro Control will also be shipping two cost-effective packaged control solutions that combine each processor with its companion touch-screen remote: the Pro24.r/ProLink.r kit and the Pro24.z/ProLink.z kit, which has been honored with a Custom Retailer Exc!te Award.
The Pro24.r and ProLink.r are available at an MSRP of $249 each, while the Pro24.z and PROLink.z are available at an MSRP of $449 each. The touchscreen controllers and processors, in addition to Pro Control's packaged control kits, will be on display at CEDIA EXPO 2011 in booth 3136.
