This new interface for SpeakerCraft's MODE multi-room AV control system
allows the Apple iPhone or iPod Touch to be used as a wireless remote
with control of all sources and routing accessed on the touchscreen
through an intuitive GUI.
SpeakerCraft's iPhone interface in action
The system operates through the home's wireless data network via a
wired port on the user's wireless router (the interface is generated
through an embedded web server residing on a chip inside SpeakerCraft's
ERS 1.0 ethernet to serial adapter.)
“This is another powerful addition for SpeakerCraft dealers," explained
SpeakerCraft president Jeremy Burkhardt, “They will now be able to
offer their customers the easiest systems to use in the industry. Our
current relationship with Apple which allows us to control and display
metadata from the iPod has already dramatically enhanced our control
offering. This latest development, utilizing the Safari browser on the
iPhone or iPod Touch to control the system, will expand SpeakerCraft’s
control offering even further. I hate to say it, but this is the
beginning of the end for keypads. Soon any keypad that isn’t emulated
on a device like the iPhone will be obsolete.”
According to SpeakerCraft, the connection is easy to set up, and there
is little or no additional programming required by the installer.
iPhone users will find the interface shares the look and feel of other
iPhone functions and therefore presents little or no learning curve.
The ERS 1.0 with the embedded software has an MSRP of $1,000.
