RTI to Demo Two-Way ZigBee Controls at CEDIA Expo 2009
Remote Technologies Inc. has teased dealers with its highly anticipated two-way universal remote controls. The real products will be showcased at CEDIA Expo 2009.
RTI’s long-awaited ZigBee two-way remote controls
Remote Technologies Inc. (RTI) will finally have the opportunity to demonstrate real, shipping products that support two-way ZigBee wireless technology at CEDIA 2009.
Several compatible remotes and controllers will be on display, ready to buy.
RTI expects to ship all these products by September 2009.
The RK3-V is the second generation of RTI's RK3 in-wall controller. The two-way device can display text and graphics with vivid detail via a new full VGA display -- 4 times the resolution of its predecessor. MSRP: $999
RK3-V now; RK3 then
The T1-B is the second generation of RTI’s four-year-old T1 remote control, featuring a more modern user interface. MSRP: $349

First introduced at CEDIA Expo 2007, the MRP-64 is ideal for distributing audio from a multizone receiver. It offers six keypad ports for RTI's in-wall controllers, four independent IR output ports, three voltage trigger outputs, three voltage sense inputs, and an IR signal input. Two-way communications is provided through RS-232 and ZigBee wireless. MSRP: $699
MRP-64
With eight multipurpose output ports and an adjustable device ID, the PCM-8 enables dealers to increase the output capabilities of certain RTI processors to accommodate larger projects. Each port provides IR routing capabilities, one-way RS-232 communication, and power sensing (with RTI accessory devices). It connects to RTI processors via RS-485. MSRP: $299
PCM-8
Representing the second generation of RTI's four-year-old RP-6 remote control processor, the ZRP-6 supports two-way feedback when used with the company's ZigBee-enabled ZM-24 transceiver module and with RTI's ZigBee remotes. It has built-in IR routing and pass-through, relay control, 12VDC trigger outputs, and an Ethernet port for programming. MSRP: $599
ZRP-6
The ZRP-5 is a low-cost programmable control processor that is compatible with RTI's RF modules (ZM-24/RM-433). It offers five variable-strength IR ports and three programmable voltage sensing ports for reliable control. Because it has no serial control, the ZRP-5 does not offer two-way feedback for devices being controlled. MSRP: $299.

Holy smokes, Mike. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like my colleagues fixed it. (sorry RTI!)
lol
I think Julie has a favorite 
.
The T1-B is pretty sweet. It has a modern look, perfect set of hard buttons and the ability to label macro keys is freaking cool IMO.
I really wish they would update the T4. It looks like some prototype that was built with big bulky leftover parts.

Julie, there is a typo in the 4th sentence it should say “The RK3-V is the second generation of RTI’s RK3 in-wall controller”. instead of URC’s RK3 in-wall controller.
