Editor’s Pick: 10 Automation, Networking Products at CEDIA Expo 2009
Touchy feely universal remote, "cheap" $5,000 4x8 multiroom audio system, AV receiver with Control4, two-way Apple TV on display in Atlanta.
With all due respect to my colleague Bob Archer, these are the 10 products you'll want to check out at CEDIA Expo 2009.
Granted, Bob's an A/V guy and I'm a control/networking chick.
With that in mind, here are some of the booths I recommend. Please end me your recommendations once you've had the chance to browse the show floor (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)).
Universal Remote Control's The MX-5000 handheld touchscreen remote with tactile feedback. You gotta touch it to believe it. The new KP-4000 in-wall touchscreen isn't too shabby either. #1443
Autonomic Controls: I have a little crush on this company. They really know how to manage media. This year, their partners are showing Apple TV with two-way feedback and control for Crestron, AMX and URC. #2865
Lutron's RadioRa 2 is the next generation of its popular wireless lighting control system. It's cheaper and better than the original. Also, the company has some gorgeous new keypads for Homeworks. And, lots of new motorized shading solutions #2408
In the market for a new home automation system? Check out Stardraw, makers of rich PC-based automation systems. They're not new. They've been doing it for years. #3055
How does S1Digital do it? Their new Digital Entertainment Platform solves a DRM issue that prohibits users from streaming protected CableCard content over the network. Currently, you can stream it to a Media Center Extender, but not to another PC. You can stream to a Windows Media Center PC with the new S1Digital solution. #5729
