RTI XP-3 processor promises high degree of control

Featuring a 532MHz i.MX processor and 128MB of nonvolatile flash memory, the ‘budget-conscious’ processor boasts a number of features, including an astronomical time clock for time-based events, a built-in ZigBee RF transceiver to allow bidirectional communications with compatible RTI remote controls, and access to the same library of drivers used by all RTI XP series processors.

Meanwhile, the XP-6 is the second central control processor to be launched by the manufacturer. Also including a number of features and control options, the processor includes support for the RTI 433-MHz receivers for one-way RF communication, whilst ZigBee 2.4GHz transceivers can be incorporated for more sophisticated bidirectional communication with an RTI controller.

The XP-6 features control options such as RS-232, relay, IP, and routable IR. Like the XP-3, it includes an astronomical clock, as well as providing support for the RTI virtual panel. It uses two-way drivers for A/V, security, lighting, and HVAC systems.

Meanwhile, RTI has also launched the AD-4 and AD-8 distributed audio systems. Acting as extensions to RTI's control systems, the manufacturer reports that the AD-4 and AD-8 offer ‘low-cost’ and ‘very effective’ solutions for distributing music in a commercial installation.

The systems contain both a matrix switching pre-amp and a built-in cool power class D amplifier, achieving flexibility with four or eight local audio source inputs that can be further enhanced with remote audio sources.
