Russound’s RNET Touchpoint

TouchpointTouchpoint allows for direct access and remote control of a multiroom audio system from an Apple iPhone™ or iPod touch™. The Touchpoint provides two-way Radio Frequency remote control of any zone in a Russound RNET enabled multiroom audio system with two-way metadata feedback.

This interface duplicates the functionality of the popular Russound UNO-S2 keypad with the addition of being able to control any system zone from anywhere within range of the wireless LAN signal.

Source control functions for the Touchpoint software include direct and scrolling source selection, play, pause, next, previous, plus, minus, and direct numeric entry with ‘disc’ and ‘enter’ commands. Zone control functions include zone selection, zone power, all off, volume up and down, mute, bass, treble, balance and loudness, Do Not Disturb and Party Mode.

Touchpoint displays real-time information on the iPhone or iPod touch screen, including name of zone, name of source, zone volume level, and source metadata such as playlist, channel, artist, song title, genre and more when used with Russound RNET Smart Sources.
