With only 7 weeks to go this years CEDIA Expo which is held in ExCel London on the 23-25 June is building up to be a great event.
Dynalite will be showcasing at the event a wide range of control system elements and software designed for residential ‘smart home’ applications. The Dynalite solution-set comprises a comprehensive range of controllers, user panels and network interfacing components that facilitate advanced levels of lighting control and seamless integration with third-party control systems.
According to Paul Wilmshurst, Managing Director, Dynalite Europe, fully integrated control systems are becoming more prevalent across both residential and commercial AV sectors. “It’s all about installation and control flexibility,” he said. “Moreover, in residential applications, homeowners want systems to be user friendly. The best way of meeting such needs is to integrate all the automated services—including AV, curtains, blinds and temperature control—into a single system with a single user interface.”
Central to the Dynalite exhibit will be the company’s latest-generation modular multipurpose controller range (DDMC series). Ideal for home automation and hotel suite control applications, the controllers feature a unique hardware-configurable design, where plug-in output cards accommodate specific loads assigned to the system.
Dynalite will also exhibit one of the world’s most flexible and intelligent 10/100Base T Ethernet interfaces, the 100BT Ethernet gateway series. A vital element of any integrated control system, the 100BT series permits Ethernet connectivity between DyNet (Dynalite’s peer-to-peer communications serial bus network), Dynalite control systems and third-party technologies.
Dynalite’s Revolution Series 2 user control panels will also be exhibited at CEDIA Expo 2009. Featuring an innovative slimline design, the new user control panels boast a wide range of grid and button configurations, colours, cover finishes and backlighting options, including dynamic OLED text display. Panel fascias can be provided in practically any architectural surface medium, while button caps can be engraved and backlit, providing unlimited décor-matching flexibility.
Another of Dynalite’s user-interface solutions will be on display the Revolution colour touch screens. The LCD touch screens allow users to create and display visually stunning and easy-to-use control pages, incorporating logos, buttons, faders, floor plans and diagnostic icons. Operators can execute simple and complex conditional logic macros, or call up system diagnostics with a tap of the screen.
Other system elements on display at the exhibition include Dynalite’s DLight III MapView site management software, and DLight II programming software. “No other lighting control provider can match the breadth, variety and functionality of the Dynalite solution-set,” said Wilmshurst. “Dynalite systems set the global benchmark for integrated lighting control solutions.”
