TI's OMAP technology for AMX automation and control panels
TI has announced the OMAP technology that powers AMX's
automation and control panels. The Modero ViewPoint touch
panels (MVP-5000 series), Modero wall/flush mount touch
panels (NXD-500i and NXD-430 series) and the Metreau entry
communicator devices are sleek, single-system automation
panels that manage electronics, lighting, temperature, video/audio
conferences, internet and more for homes, theatre systems,
hotel rooms, meeting and conference rooms, classrooms or
restaurants.
The ARM and digital signal processor (DSP) processing architecture
from OMAP device enables AMX to deliver advanced graphical
user interfaces (GUIs) to navigate on-screen functions with
multiple windows, monitor remote security cameras and control
audio and video equipment at the same time. And the multi-core
design of the OMAP processor simultaneously supports video
encoding/decoding and playback, 2D/3D graphics and audio.
With several power modes from full-powered to processor
shutdown, the Modero ViewPoint touch panels for instance,
take advantage of the sophisticated are used for power management
framework to yield energy saving by turning off unused peripherals
based on the user's activity and modes of operation.
"We are dedicated to developing flexible, compact
and innovative solutions that allow consumers to easily
automate their entire home or corporate environment from
managing audio and video equipment, changing the thermostat,
checking who is at the front door to making a phone call
with just a single touch of a button," said Robert
Noble, Chief Technology Officer, AMX. "By working with
TI, we are able to address customer's growing demands for
products featuring the latest, cutting-edge technologies
that are easy to operate to ultimately simplify their lives."
AMX drives a complete system-level solution from TI, ranging
from the OMAP applications processor to a full complement
of analog ICs, including power management, interface, audio,
touch screen control and logic devices. The combined solutions
pave the way for AMX's signature ultra-light, ergonomic
designs to integrate the fastest video processing, intuitive
GUIs with photo-realistic graphics and low power consumption
levels on a single platform.
