Features such as two-way feedback, a customisable user interface, and highly optimised connection speeds, provides complete control over any RTI control system with an XP series control processor — all from the convenience of a smart phone or tablet.

The RTiPanel stands out from the pack with unique features such as full two-way feedback including cover art, weather graphics, dynamic image lists. The App supports connection locally via WiFi and offers remote access via auto-switching WiFi and 3G wireless — allowing for control and monitoring from virtually anywhere in the world.

The RTiPanel App offers a completely customisable graphical user interface, allowing integrators to provide consumers with a consistent user experience across all RTI controllers in their systems, including their Apple devices, as well as offer an interface designed to set their devices apart. For simple interface updating either locally or remotely, all graphics are conveniently stored on the XP series processor and the Apple device. The App is also programmed using the same Integration Designer software that is used to program all RTI products.

Redefining ease of use, the App displays in both portrait and landscape views by simply rotating the Apple device. The programming process for supporting both orientations has been carefully designed to minimise the extra effort required.

“We are tremendously proud of the hard work that has gone into this App, and to bring our dealers a solution that is superior to anything else on the market,” says RTI vice president of sales and marketing Pete Baker.

“From full two-way control to a completely customisable user interface, every detail of the RTiPanel has been designed to complement our control systems perfectly, allowing our dealers to provide an unprecedented control experience for their customers, at home or away.”

The RTiPanel App is now available for download from the Apple App Store. Users will need to purchase licenses online from the RTI website to enable communication with their RTI control system.

The Custom Electronic Design Installation Association (CEDIA) has named the RTiPanel a finalist in its Manufacturers’ Excellence Awards competition for Best New Product. The winners will be announced at the Electronic Lifestyles Awards Banquet Saturday 10 September during CEDIA Expo 2011.
