Lewis CaliburnRTI is now shipping its new Intelligent Surfaces touchpanels, which it will also demonstrate at CEDIA Expo / Commercial Integrator Expo September 5-7 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.
“These new touchpanels deliver best-in-class and first-in-class features that will enable integrators to do more intelligent, integrated and inspired solutions,” says RTI chief Product Officer Mike Jordan. “We are the new RTI, and these new solutions highlight the incredible opportunities we’re creating for dealers.”
The IST-10 and IST-5 are 10in and 5in touchpanels respectively, with the narrowest bezel on the market and an exceptionally low profile to the wall. Each features a fully customisable capacitive-touch screen with 1920×1200 (IST-10) or 854×480 (IST-5) resolution and true-black display filter for exceptional clarity. The thin bezel, low profile, and sharp display are optimised to deliver exceptional performance and elevated aesthetics.
Both the IST-10 and IST-5 feature dual speakers, a far-field microphone array and enable full duplex intercom and exceptional video streaming in h.264 or h.265 format. For privacy, each includes a mute button for the microphone, while the hi-res camera on the IST-10 ensures privacy with a physical shutter that can quickly cover the camera lens.
With proximity and ambient light sensors, the touchpanels quickly wake upon approach and adjust to the room lighting for easy viewing. Both the 5in IST-5 and the 10in IST-10 can mount portrait or landscape in a U.S. single gang box.
“Response to the new touchpanels has been overwhelmingly positive,” continues Mike. “And we’ve launched these with a substantial update to the backgrounds and icons in the Coral template. Integrators can get beautiful results right ‘out of the box’ and, of course, can customise the interface 100% for a full bespoke solution.”
“There has never been a better time to be leveraging RTI control solutions,” he concludes. “If you aren’t yet doing business with us, we’d love to discuss the reasons you should. And to all the RTI dealers coming to Denver, we got some great new gear to show you!”
