RTI Bows Flagship Remote With Capacitive Touch Screen, Grip Sensors

RTI began shipping a new flagship handheld remote control with a high-resolution 4-inch capacitive touch screen and programmable soft-touch buttons. The second-generation T4x has a smaller form factor than the previous model, integrated grip sensors to keep the device awake during use and an accelerometer for instant-on activation. It integrates 802.11b/g/n wireless Ethernet, which enables viewing of Motion JPEG video, wireless program updates and enhanced two-way communication, said the company. The dual RF platform supports 433 MHz RF for one-way control and 2.4-GHz Zigbee for bidirectional communication with music servers, lighting and HVAC systems, it said.
