A/V Control With Metadata
In today's homes, audio and video entertainment are often overwhelming for the consumer to operate and enjoy. Z-Wave solves these problems by providing a unified, one-touch control solution that is just as savvy with software as with hardware -- thanks to its status-reading and metadata capabilities.
Because Z-Wave devices can speak to each other, entertainment sources can act in concert to a single command. To watch a DVD, a single button on the remote can turn on the TV and receiver, automatically set their correct inputs and user preferences, lower the shades, dim the lights and start the DVD player. What once took many remotes and many keystrokes now takes just one.
Also, because Z-Wave enabled devices can exchange information and operating status with the remote control, convenient and accessible whole-home entertainment is now a reality. Metadata such as program names, song titles, artist name, channel identification and other pertinent information can be seen from the remote control, even when the controller is in a different part of the house than the components that are playing.
Today's entertainment hardware and software have moved us beyond conventional remote controls. Z-Wave, with its advanced capabilities and practical design, represents the new standard in wireless control -- for both manufacturers and consumers. |
