RTI has released KX4 in-wall touch panel with control processor, simplifying single-room commercial installations as well as the seamless integration enabled by video over IP coupled with RTI control and automation.

A manufacturer in control and automation, RTI will present the touch panel to integrators along with other commercial solutions in control, automation and video distribution at InfoComm 2023 in Orlando, Florida.

“Single-room commercial control, from boardrooms and huddle spaces to classrooms, is a fast-growing category for systems integrators,” RTI product director Robert Lawton says.

“Combining the in-wall touch panel and hard-button control with an integrated processor gives commercial integrators the opportunity to create faster installations with the fully customizable control their clients demand.”

The KX4 in-wall touch panel with control processor boasts a 4” high-resolution capacitive touch display with five configurable hard buttons that can be customised with RTI Laser Shark engraving. The built-in control processor delivers robust capabilities to maximise integration with connected devices, including support for two-way drivers and the RTiPanel mobile app.

The KX4 can be used as either a stand-alone processor or as a secondary processor in larger configurations. Back-panel connections enable direct control of devices via IR, IP, two RS-232 six-voltage sense ports with sense-event capabilities and four relays for control via contact closure.

For sports bars and other food and beverage facilities, RTI will demonstrate its video-over-IP platform fully integrated into the RTI control system, enabling integrators to distribute 4K UHD video over a 1GB network switch and scale to almost any number of endpoints.

“RTI video over IP allows integrators to take advantage of existing network infrastructure to cost-effectively distribute video to displays across installations of any size,” RTI director of AV product management Neal Ellsworth says.

“This gives integrators the benefits of video over IP without the need for a deep understanding of networking or the need to manually assign IP addresses. As it’s into the RTI platform, all endpoints auto-discover and configure. This saves integrators time on every installation.”

Throughout the show, RTI will be doing live demonstrations of the Integration Designer programming platform. The multi-award-winning Integration Designer 11 enables 100% customisation of any interface and the system automation behind it.

Time-saving features include the integrated System Manager, with adaptive auto-programming intelligence that adds feedback for scenes, locations and automation while autogenerating new macros based on what’s already been programmed in the system and the fully integrated Driver Library.
