Compatible with Android smartphones and tablets of any screen size, the App has features such as two-way feedback, a customisable user interface, and highly optimised connection speeds to provide complete control over any RTI control system with an XP series control processor.

The RTiPanel has full two-way feedback including cover art, weather graphics, dynamic image lists, and much more. The App also supports connection locally via Wi-Fi and offers remote access via auto-switching Wi-Fi and 3G/4G wireless — allowing for control and monitoring from virtually anywhere in the world.

Programmed through RTI’s Integration Designer software, the RTiPanel app can easily match the resolution of any screen size, even the new iPad Retina display. New high-resolution graphics and a completely customisable graphical user interface allow integrators to provide consumers with a consistent user experience across all RTI controllers in their systems. This also allows integrators the ability to create an interface designed to set their devices apart. All graphics are conveniently stored on the XP series processor and automatically download to the tablet or smart phone device when updates are made.

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

“Our RTiPanel app has been a huge hit since its release for Apple devices, and was named a CEDIA Best New Product in 2011. We are very excited to bring this advanced functionality to Android users, in addition to providing compatibility with the latest iPad,” says RTI vice president of sales and marketing Pete Baker.

“By allowing control and monitoring both at home and away, the App provides a perfect complement to our control systems; one which our dealers can now offer to all of their customers.”
