Device Discovery Partners
AMX Device Discovery is making it simpler and faster than ever to program systems and allow devices to be controlled almost immediately upon plug-in.
This series salutes our partner manufacturers who are taking the initiative to write their own modules and making their products Device Discovery-enabled that much sooner. Each spotlight gives our dealers, integrators and programmers details on what these products do, why they’re hot and why they are a great choice for future installations.
iPort, the first in-wall music system for iPod, is a leader of iPod integration in the custom electronics industry. Introduced in 2004, iPort is one of the most flexible systems for integrating the iPod into nearly any audio system, featuring both in-wall and free-standing variations, simple installation and easy upgrade ability.
As part of their commitment to simplicity and upgrade ability, iPort recently added support for AMX Device Discovery, providing even easier setup and integration into an AMX system. Combined with the ability to completely control the audio and video content of an 
iPod, iPort offers one of the best solutions for integrating iPod into an AMX control system.
Introducing
iPort IW and FS
The iPort IW-4 and IW-5 in-wall systems, both Device Discovery-enabled, provide a unique and design savvy solution for integrating an iPod into an AMX system. With balanced audio and balanced video (standard in the IW-5) the iPort has the flexibility to be installed nearly anywhere. The iPort provides seamless integration with the AMX system, enabling control of the audio and video content on the iPod.
For more traditional installations, the iPort FS-4 and FS-5 series provide added versatility. These free-standing iPort models feature the 
same industry leading features as the IW series and add both the ability to provide volume control at the iPort and a USB connection to enable the iPod to sync with a computer. Integration with AMX control systems is as seamless as the IW series, providing the same level of control of the iPod audio and video content.
