The Hottest New Interface for Home Theaters
New 5.2" Modero ViewPoint Widescreen

 

When it comes to recommending the perfect user interface for controlling high-end home theaters and other automated environments - look no further than the all-new 5.2" Modero ViewPoint (MVP-5200i). Your client can select "Watch Movie" and all at once their projector and screen are lowered, lights dimmed, climate controls adjusted and shades closed, while at the same time their AV rack is powered up, volume is adjusted and the movie begins. Residents can also choose to broadcast a digital intercom message to every touch panel throughout the home to invite everyone down for movie night. Checking to see who's at the door or gate during the show is also just a click away and it's all discreetly wireless and comfortable from the palm of the hand. The MVP-5200i is reinventing smart, powerful whole-home automation.

Design Features

  • Ultra-light, compact and thin form factor
  • Available in choice of high-gloss black or high-gloss white
  • Includes bright, crisp 5.2” widescreen display (16x9)
  • Navigation wheel provides simple or sophisticated control

Communication and Security

  • Wireless mobility utilizing 802.11b/g wireless standard
  • Digital intercom for panel-to-panel communications, broadcast messaging as well as private monitoring
  • Offers exceptional battery life with eight hours of continuous operation and four days of standby use
  • Network security standards, include: WEP, WPA, WPA2, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAP
  • In the future, you can place telephone calls from the MVP-5200i utilizing the new AMX SIP Gateway

Versatile Placement Options

  • The Table Charging Station (MVP-TCS52) charges the MVP-5200i’s battery while providing a convenient, upright placement option. An integrated kickstand allows the MVP to be viewed at an optimal angle on any flat surface.
  • While charging the MVP-5200i’s battery, the Wall Charging Station (MVP-WCS52) employs a unique, anti-theft locking mechanism to keep the touch panel safe and secure. And with one button push, the MVP-5200i glides forward for simple removal and transport.
