TPControl enables an Apple device to transform into a fully functional touch panel for controlling AMX system platforms.

The product hits the market after a hugely positive response during a successful beta test that involved internal AMX users/product verification and integrators worldwide.

The easy-to-use application provides real-time, touch control of AV systems, lighting, shades, room temperatures and more, from iPhones, iPod Touch and iPads. As with the iPhone and other smart devices, the iPad can seamlessly communicate with an AMX control system via 3G, GPRS and EDGE cellular networks, or Wi-Fi, to allow the convenience of remote use.

The TPControl application, available as a 21-day trial download from the Apple AppStore, connects as a native AMX device to an AMX NetLinx Master allowing ease of integration.

“As the first company to participate in the AMX Authorised Product Partner program, our goal is to surpass the expectations of the AMX dealer community with our products and subsequent support,” says Touch Panel Control managing director Michael Edwards.

“We are committed to continually improve our product through regular feature additions and maintenance releases, and help consumers take maximum advantage of the convenience and technologies that these portable devices present.”
