Compass Control®
Key Digital will be the star of the show at InfoComm 2012 with the future of control: Compass Control. Compass Control represents the first fully integrated major control system built from the ground up to use Apple's iOS 5 devices - iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch - as its backbone.
Key Digital® in conjunction with Compass Control's Compass Alliance Partners (CAP) has created a fully integrated control system with driver support for hardware from the following brands: Aprilaire, Boston Acoustics®, ClearOne®, Denon, Furman, ICRealtime Security Solutions®, iPort®, Key Digital, LG, Lutron®, Luxul, Marantz®, MechoSystems, Onkyo®, Panamax, Primeview, Russound®, SurgeX, and Wolfvision®. Combining the knowledge and expertise from the different CAP brands has allowed Compass Control® to develop into a complete turnkey residential or commercial control solution.
Compass Control is currently comprised of three main components: the Compass Control® Software License (KD-CSL), the Compass Control® Master Controller (KD-MC2500), and the Compass Control® Wall Plate (KD-WCPB, KD-WPCW). When these three elements are combined with the Compass Control® App - currently available in the App Store on iTunes - any installation is now given complete control over audio, video, HVAC, lighting, shades, and security.
Compass Control has the ability to control devices via RS-232, IR, or via TCP/IP. This new control system provides installers with bi-directional IR, two-way RS-232 with feedback, and two-way TCP/IP control for unlimited flexibility and maximum compatibility with new or existing devices. Compass Control® also provides control via relays and sensors demonstrating its nature as a powerful integration tool.
