TI, a leading
control
and
automation
manufacturer
for
residential and commercial settings,
has released its next-generation XP
control processor line.
RTI's new XP-8v Advanced Control
Processor offers increased processing
power, expanded memory, and
an HDMI output for OSD control
interface to bring together all of a
home's or office building's electronic
systems into one unified control and
automation system.
The third generation of RTI's popular
XP-8 advanced control processor,
the XP-8v, combines the advanced
control options of its predecessors
with a new i.MX53 processor for
increased processing power and
expanded two-way driver support. To
take the processor's capabilities even
further, its RAM memory and internal
non-volatile Flash memory have
been upgraded to 1GB and 512MB,
respectively. The addition of an HDMI
output enables on-screen display,
providing users with the convenience
of a custom control-interface on their
TVs.
Designed for large-scale and complex
projects, the XP-8v combines a realtime, multi-tasking operating system
with
tremendous
expandability.
Control interface options include twoway RS 232, routable IR, Ethernet,
and relay control. For expanded
integration capabilities, eight multipurpose I/O ports support optional
modules for voltage sensing and
RS-232 control. The XP-8v also
features eight programmable relay
input/outputs and eight sense inputs
(voltage or contact closure). The
processor's Ethernet port provides IP

control in addition to support for
RTI's RTiPanel app for smartphones,
tablets, and PCs. Additionally, the
XP-8v incorporates an astronomical
clock, allowing for time-based events
and timers to trigger commands and
macros.
The XP-8v is programmed with RTI's
new Integration Designer APEX
10.2 programming platform, which
combines time-saving automation
with the complete freedom to design
custom control-experiences - setting
dealers apart from the competition.
The new software features automatic
generation of the graphical user
interface and programming, a new
IR library, advanced graphic resizing,
and more. A new global controller
feature gives integrators the ability
to easily create a multi-room control
experience for a client. Additionally,
APEX's room proxy feature allows
installers to create interfaces that are
even more powerful.
"Today's smart homes and offices
feature a wide range of electronic
systems - AV, climate controls,
lighting, blinds, security devices, and
so much more," said Mike Everett,
Vice President of Global Sales, RTI.
"For the end-user, managing all of
these systems independently can be
frustrating. The XP-8v has the power
to bring these separate systems into
one unified platform and gives users
complete control from the interface
of their choice, including RTI handheld
remotes and wired touchpanels,
smartphones and tablets, or any TV
screen."
