URC MX-6000 - WiFi Speed Brings Cover Art, Artist, Album and Titles to the Touch Screen!
The revolutionary MX-6000 brings the power of WiFi networking to the home theater, without compromising simplicity. The MX-6000 is the first home theater remote control to offer two independent communications and control methods simultaneously. The MX-6000 provides both a narrow band 418 MHz transmitter for instant control of conventional home theater components and a WiFi transceiver for high speed transfer of cover art, artist, album and title metadata. The high speed of the built-in 802.11 B/G WiFi transceiver enables the MX-6000 to display lists of artists, albums or songs and to display the cover art of the selected album on the Now Playing screen of the remote control.


Internet Connection Provides Real Time News, Sports, Weather and Stocks
When the MX-6000 is connected to the Internet, pre-programmed modules enable instant access to personalized news, sports, weather and stocks. Unlike other devices, the MX-6000’s news, sports, weather and stocks modules are user-configurable without a programmer or a PC. On a whim, you can check out the opposing team’s scores, or get the weather forecast for a holiday destination. News, Sports, Weather and Stocks modules require that the MX-6000 be installed to a WiFi router with an Internet connection.

Narrow Band RF for Instant Control
The MX-6000 offers home theater owners instant no rules control of AV receivers, flat screen TVs, projectors, cable and satellite receivers, DVD players and changers. Unlike other WiFi remote controls, the MX-6000 uses a second RF (Radio Frequency) transmitter to control conventional gear instantly, without the frustrating delay of waiting for the remote control to "join the network" when you simply want to turn the system on. There are three possible companion RF base stations that provide instant control. The MSC-400 Master System Controller enhances the capabilities of the MX-6000 by storing and issuing Smart Macros to your main system components. These smart macro commands offer the ultimate in reliability and speed, since a single command, measuring fractions of a second, can trigger long complex macro routines with RS-232, IR, relays or even USB keyboard commands to a PC. The MRF-350 and MRF-260 RF base stations enable an MX-6000 to address or route IR commands to conventional components anywhere in your home. By placing MRF base stations near your TVs, cable/sat receivers and other conventional IR controlled components, you can enjoy instant, no pointing, no rules operation everywhere in your home.

PC Server for MX-6000
Instead of purchasing an expensive “Media PC” or dedicated music server, any PC with iTunes and/or Windows Media Player can be connected to your audio system to act as a high powered music server with the most engaging, intuitive user interface you’ve ever seen. MX-6000 Server is a software application that once installed on a PC, combines your iTunes library with your Media Player library. The MX-6000 utilizes its network connection via WiFi to communicate with the server software on the PC. Since all communication happens at WiFi “G” speeds, there are no lags or delays displaying the information or lists on the screen of the MX-6000. All your cover art, artist, album and song title metadata appear on the screen of the MX-6000. Lists are navigated via the integrated scroll wheel without ever connecting a keyboard or mouse to the PC. At last, you have access to all the music you’ve paid for... all the music you want without the hassles... the music simply plays...

Reinventing the Touch Screen
Automatic Backlighting The integral motion sensor detects any movement of the touch screen and automatically backlights the screen. The user does not have to press any button to display the screen. Any movement of the MX-6000 renews the backlighting. Without movement, the touch screen stays lit for 1 to 99 seconds (programmed by the installer). Not Just Color, Animated Color! Powered by a 533MHz ARM9 microprocessor, the MX-6000 is the first touch screen designed for animation. The powerful central processor enables quick, fluid page transitions and animated macros. The 4.3” screen offers a 480x272 pixel window to any graphic. Your professional installer can place BMPs, JPEGs, GIFs, animated GIFs or FLASH SWF files in your configuration. The World of Sound Equipped with a speaker and a PC recording, your installer can add talking help buttons (recorded on any PC with a microphone) or music to your macros via any WAV file.

Double Capacity Lithium Ion Batteries and Charging Base
The demands of WiFi and high speed transfers coupled with a large color touch screen raise the demand for power to a new high. The MX-6000 is equipped with a unique double capacity Lithium Ion battery, providing over 4 hours of continuous use before recharging is necessary. Should the MX-6000 be left on a table, it will remain in standby mode for ten (10) days without requiring a recharge. The attractive charging base offers an ideal angle to use while charging, so may be placed on or near your chair. In addition, the MX-6000 offers a power input on its side panel, so that it can be hand held while charging directly from the power adapter.

PSX-2 Personal Server from URC
Loaded with features that allow you the installer to totally customize your client’s iPod experience. Never before has there been an iPod dock with this level of incredible two-way functionality and hundreds of discrete IR commands.

The popularity of the Apple iPod is such that almost every home entertainment system now has an A/V iPod dock. The most popular docks provide a TV on-screen GUI (Graphical User Interface) that mimics precisely the iPod screens. But because the iPod is based on a limited number of buttons and a small screen, one must constantly navigate up and down through a series of nested menus, and must remember a “mental map” of where special features are accessed. This is tedious and frustrating and the only way around it was an expensive media server instead of an iPod dock. Until today...

The PSX-2 is an AV iPod dock with built in automation for the iPod that provides high-end music server functionality via any programmable control system and a TV. Enables functions like play more from this artist, shuffle my jazz, alphabetically search and the intuitive ability to create a play list for a party from any keypad or remote control on their TV set.
• Browse on screen (MX-6000 or TV)
• Automate via proprietary features
• Customize – hundreds of discrete codes
• Compatible with all URC remotes
On TV Content Selection and Browsing with Cover Art Having cover art, artist and title information on the TV is convenient, fun and natural. It provides the interface for any control system to display content selection choices.

The PSX-2 includes PSXLink software for both Macs and PCs. Any new content you add to your iTunes library can be synchronized to the iPod in the PSX-2 without ever removing it.

TV Screensaver Always Displays Cover Art and Artist & Track Info
With other music servers, screen savers force you to press a button to view the Cover art, Artist and Track info. PSX-2 utilizes your album cover art and now playing info in the screensaver mode. Now you can see what’s playing on TV without pressing a button, and without risking burn in on your Plasma TV!

Customize & Automate iPod Operation in any System
Now, all systems with programmable remote controls or keypads (regardless of brand) can enjoy the unique automation and customizable experience.

Imagine exploring all the hard rock albums of your youth with Shuffle Genres. When you hear a song you love, instead of having to browse through the hundreds of artists in your collection, you simply touch the “Play More From” button. The remote control or keypad displays the choices instantly, without any tedious up, down, left right navigation through endless menus…

Shuffle Genre, Artist, Album, Composer
With other music servers, shuffle is a frustrating mix of too many kinds of music. With the PSX-2, shuffle becomes a powerful tool for listening and exploring your music collection. Imagine shuffling just your jazz, or just the songs of a particular artist. You can shuffle play any genre, any artist or any album at any time by simply accessing the remote control or keypad’s shuffle screen.

Personal Browsing with Cover Art on MX-6000
You won’t disturb anyone else in the room when you browse with MX-6000.Your family can be watching anything on TV, while you can build playlists, navigate and explore content personally on the screen of your MX-6000.

URC MX-880i - Color with Open Architecture Programming
Color Graphics, But Text Based,
The 2” (176 x 220) pixel screen is populated with colorful backgrounds and icons automatically. When programming, the installer focuses on text label customization instead of arranging icons. Any button can be dragged and dropped to any position via the power of MX-880 Editor.

Fast, Structured Programming
Instead of reprogramming a similar system, programmers can freely import codes and macros from MX-900 files via Device Import, or simply open an MX-900 file in MX-880 Editor and make modifications to it, then save it as an MX-880 file. When starting from scratch, MX-880’s open architecture enables the installer to start a new project with any template. By following the steps of the Program Menu, the installer quickly creates a finished working setup. Once tested and refined, the installer can freely experiment with any of the Color Graphic themes without affecting the setup. Additionally, companies with their own custom graphics can add them to the visible themes in the Editor by simply creating matching and correctly sized artwork in a new folder in the Graphics directory of MX-880 Editor.

Powerful Macro Programming
Macro programming in MX-880 Editor enables the installer to freely create sophisticated status screens in macros, since there is no limit to the number of page jumps inside a macro. With the ability to nest a macro inside another macro, an installer can create a complex routine, label it descriptively and simply alias to it in one step. Variables can be used to track power status, users, rooms, or to create options that change in all macros based on one button press by the user.

Narrow Band RF in either 418MHz or 433MHz
Narrow Band ensures that broadband RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) will be ignored. However, RFI can also be site specific and centered on a particular band. For this reason, the MX-880 can be specified in either the standard 418MHz version or the MX-880i 433MHz Narrow Band version. Ensure reliability with the Narrow Band RFX-250 or RFX-250i (433MHz). The RFX-250 is included with both the MRF-350 Routing Base Station and the MSC-400 Master System Controller (specify “i” series for 433 MHz versions).

MSC-400 Compatibility
The MX-880 is compatible with the ultra-reliable MSC-400 “Trigger” protocol, which enables complex macros, stored in the MSC-400, to be individually triggered with a single button push on the MX-880 regardless of the interference and noise in the environment. The combination of very narrow transmission of digitally encoded packets sent THREE times at digital speeds in milliseconds assures that every button press on the remote will be received by the MSC-400. The MSC-400’s sophisticated error correction circuitry stores all three packets and compares them. Once two packets are identified as identical, the MSC-400 goes to work. This new technology not only increases range, but increases reliability by a vast margin.

URC MX-450 - Delight Clients with Bright Color and Great Ergonomics

Delight Clients with Bright Color and Great Ergonomics
The new URC MX-450 delivers an easy to sell cutting edge form factor, extraordinary functionality and a beautiful color display. The graphical user interface is bright and easily backlit at the touch of the Light button. Engaging graphical icons for devices, activities and the most popular channels are all pre-programmed.

View and Edit Macros on Screen
Macro programming is a critical function for delivering a specific sequence of commands to a variety of components in order to provide clients with an easy to use system. In all past standalone programmed remotes, installers were faced with the challenging task of programming macros without being able to modify their work on the fly. Thus, if one step is wrong in the macro (for example, one delay is too short) the entire macro had to be deleted and completely re-programmed. Until now, that is.

The MX-450's most revolutionary feature is Macro Editing. This has never been seen before in a standalone programmed remote. At last, the programmer can see the actual macro steps clearly displayed on the remote control's screen. Fine tuning, reordering, adjusting delays and adding steps to the macros can now be done without deleting previous work!

Eliminate Programming Bottlenecks!
Specify MX-450s for secondary rooms and areas. There is a very strong demand for lower priced controllers to operate modest priced home theaters and secondary rooms in larger installations, such as master bedrooms, studies and kitchens. Many dealers do not provide all of their installers with laptops, making in-home remote control programming by a PC equipped programmer a bottleneck to production. As a result, dealers utilize remotes that program standalone, without a PC. Installers forced to setup these standalone programming remotes are often frustrated in any attempt to make the remote automate the system using macros.
