The Control4 HC-800 is here and featuring a dual core 1.8GHz processor, which makes the Control4 operating system that much more powerful. It is designed to run demanding control systems. The automation control is much faster and can also interact with larger video or music libraries.
It comes with:
- 4 audio outputs- 2 analog, 1 digital, and 1HDMI
- Integrated with Wireless-N and ZigBee with external antennas
- eSATA and USB ports
- Dual core 1.8GHz processor
Home Technology said: “Designed to fit in a slim 1RU, the rack-mountable HC-800 has two RS-232 ports, six IR ports, and four contact and relay switches. It also has enough analog and digital outputs for four independent zones of audio, without the need for a second media player. Of course, there’s also HDMI audio/video connectivity for Blu-ray players, receivers, and more.”
Control4 says that the HC-800 controller is preferred when a client desires:
- Single controller, with plans to expand, or the need to control more than 4 source devices
- Primary controller in multi-controller installations
- Secondary controller when significant I/O is needed and on screen performance is important
- ZigBee performance is a high priority
- External ZigBee antenna is desired
- HDMI and/or high performance on-screen is required; primary or secondary
