Version 3.1 of Lagotek® Home Intelligence Platform Bridges Gap between Whole Home Control and Distributed Audio/Video Control
BELLEVUE, WA, May 1, 2007..... Lagotek announced version 3.1 of its Home Intelligence Platform (HIP), which integrates distributed audio/video control capability as well as UMPC platform compatibility. Now, customers can control lights, change temperature and watch their favorite movie on all the TVs in their house with just one push of a button. Lagotek added UMPC platform compatibility to version 3.1. The company's HIP is already compatible with HIP100, PC, PDA and Media Center PC-based devices.
Distributed audio/video control functionality was made available by integrating top of the line multi-zone solutions from Russound CAA44, CAA66 and CAV6.6. Support for General Electric SmartCom Audiohub CC-SCAMP4 was also implemented to fulfill requests from new home builders.
CEO of Lagotek Eugene Luskin stated, "We clearly see the market moving toward merging home control technology with Home Theater and Entertainment. Our customers and partners asked that we integrate the two in one Home Intelligence Platform. We delivered the solution they asked for in version 3.1 of Lagotek's HIP, and the market response to date is extremely positive."
Lagotek HIP version 3.1 supports Global Cache GC-100 Network adapters for customers who want to control their current audio and video equipment using Lagotek's HIP. GC-100 can be used to control multiple IR (Infrared) audio and video devices. Lagotek's HIP IR application provides users with the ability to configure their existing equipment and Entertainment activities, so they can turn on your TV, switch it to the desired input, turn on the amplifier and switch to the channel with one touch of a button. For the devices that are not supported in the existing IR database, Lagotek HIP provides IR learning capabilities, so customers can integrate any device of their choice.
Lagotek's Modes, Rules and now Entertainment Activities features simplify the user's everyday life by allowing them to set all the house systems to the desired state by pressing just one button or switch from state-to-state or Mode-to-Mode based on time or any other event described in Rules. The objective is to make everyone's home more convenient, secure and beautiful place to live.
