The New Generation of Residential and Commercial Control Delivers a

Truly Personalized Customer Experience

Total Control 2.0, which has benefitted from major product enhancements since its release in 2017, enables dealers and integrators to provide a solution to their customers that offers a truly personalized graphic user interface. Total Control also offers a new line of tabletop and in-wall touchscreen controllers, quad-core and dual-core system processors, and new programming software for residential and commercial applications. A Personalized Customer Experience “It is bold, it is robust, and is incredibly fast,” says Roger Buell, owner of Twinsburg, Ohio-based Summit Sound and Security. “The ability to customize the background on the keypads with company logos and take pictures of the physical rooms with Total Control technology is pretty simple and straightforward.” As a luxury audio/video system integrator, Dallas-based Starpower has installed many systems for demanding customers. “We are consistently dealing with large orders—typically over $30,000 to $100,000,” says Craig Brown, vice president of sales at Starpower. “That’s a customer who demands seamless technology that doesn’t get clunky or get in the way, and URC offers that to our customers which is why we use it.” Equipped with a built-in audio video intercom, URC’s Wi-Fienabled TDC-7100 seven-inch tabletop touchscreen controller quickly became the center-piece of the Total Control 2.0 system with its modern and attractive design and intuitive user TKP-5600 interface.

CED19_VIP_XX.indd 18 URC_specialAd_program 1

While the company enjoys the luxury of working on many new homes from inception and pre-wire, Fox adds, “The wireless capabilities of Total Control allow us to retrofit into older homes.” “Total Control is a total automaton system. It’s the brain of your house,” says Neil Lorick, owner of Automation Sensation serving south Florida. “It controls thermostats, lighting, shades, TVs, audio, gates and doors.” Lorick and his team work with customers to create scenes such as “Good Morning” where the shades go up, and the lights, music, and TVs come on with the touch of a button. “Anything you want, there’s a way we can do it,” says Lorick. “Or, just say, “Good Morning” or simply walk into your house and it does it all.” Powerful and Scalable The MRX series of advanced system processors are at the core of Total Control 2.0. Building off of the MRX-10, the flagship quad-core MRX-30 and dual-core MRX-15 offer greater performance and have a full range of connection options and are network based for today’s integration needs. “These processors open the door for dealers to expand their business by taking on even larger and more complex residential and commercial projects,” says Park. The key takeaway is that today’s Total Control is a robust automation and control system recognized and used by top integrators. This powerful and modern system controls smart lighting systems, temperature, shades, locks, gates, and pools, and integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

“If you’re doing a larger commercial project or even a large residential project, the MRX-15 or MRX- 30, depending on the outputs, inputs, and sensor configurations, gives you more of an advanced system,” says Paul Williamson, owner of 30AV, which serves Florida’s Panhandle. “All of the newer keypads; the 7100, the 9600 [are] number-one; it’s a fantastically built product. I think reliability over the years is going to be key. It also has an audio video intercom built into it.” Although distribution channels accounted for a significant portion of URC sales, Total Control 2.0 is a premium product, and the company took a calculated risk. “Starting in 2017, we decided to pull the Total Control line completely from distribution and made it available exclusively to URC direct dealers,” says URC’s Park. “ I ’ve g o t my URC rep working one-on-one with my salespeople. This is supTDC-9100 port you don’t get from other manufacturers,” says Starpower’s Brown. “This is support that truly is above and beyond what I get from other manufacturers.” During a time when many dealers are facing ever-shrinking margins, Park notes that URC has significantly increased dealer margins to help them become more profitable. “I’m the sole owner of URC,” says Park. “My primary interest is to meet their [dealers’] needs and not the needs of shareholders or investors.”

CEDIA Talks at Expo 2019 Join CEDIA at Expo 2019 (Denver, September 10-14) for CEDIA Talks in booth 1301 to hear from top industry minds on critical topics that affect the home tech industry today and what to expect tomorrow. Only 20 minutes long, these free CEDIA Talks will offer crucial insights on emerging trends, new technologies, and strengthening business practices. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 10 a.m.-10:20 a.m.: From Fire to Photons Presenter TBD Explore the exciting evolution of lighting from filament lamps to LEDs and the protocols that propel it. Learn the acronyms and the buzzwords that are illuminating our world and providing business opportunities for integrators. 11 a.m.-11:20 a.m.: Will Direct LED Replace Twopiece Projection? Michael Heiss, Principal Consultant, M.Heiss Consulting Some pundits are saying that the size and quality of emerging direct-view LED displays may mean the “end of projection.” Perhaps, perhaps not, as both technologies will likely remain viable into the future. Which is best in a given application? 2 p.m.-2:20 p.m.: Mass Sensorization Christiaan Beukes, Owner, Artcoustic SA/Sphere Custom Design This is a short and sharp, but human, perspective on daily interactions with “harmless” technology, the constant grapple for subconscious control of our information, our wallets, our lives, and the subtle, “smart” subversion of our perceptions.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 11 a.m.-11:20 a.m.: DC Microgrids and Power Quality in the Home Ken Erdmann, Owner, The Erdmann Group LED lighting, USB power, and PoE are just a few culprits creating problems for power systems in the home. Non-linear loads are creating terrible harmonics that affect power quality and efficiency. What is going on in the world to help solve these problems? We’ll talk all of this and new, emerging battery technologies. 1 p.m.-1:20 p.m.: Go Hyperlocal: Own the Neighborhood, Own the Town (Save on Truck Rolls) Julie Jacobson, CE Pro & Bigger Things, Emerald Expositions Neighborhood networks are the new word-ofmouth. Hyperlocal social platforms like Nextdoor (and soon Google and Facebook) allow neighbors to engage, recommend, and spread the word to adjacent

2 p.m.-2:20 p.m.: Wi-Fi 6 Nathan Holmes, Technical Trainer, Access Networks With Wi-Fi now an expected utility in all buildings and 5G threatening to change the landscape of mobile data, enter “Wi-Fi 6,” the next big thing in wireless LAN! The introduction of Wi-Fi 6 will bring not only speed and capacity benefits, but a complete renaming of the Wi-Fi standards we know and love. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 10 a.m.-10:20 a.m.: What Does AI Actually Mean? Rich Green, Owner, Rich Green, Ink; Peter Aylett, President and CTO, Archimedia As social and consumer trends mature, so does the ever-shifting aspirational definition of AI (Artificial Intelligence). This session will define the important terms, and explore how the next decade will see a gradual shift towards the previously sci-fi reality of Broad General AI, and how this will affect the experiences and solutions that we’ll be delivering to our customers in the future.

FORTRESS SEATING, BOOTH 4101 Fortress Seating is featuring its West End Sectional, an alternative to customary theater seating, built for the great room of a bachelor’s 32,000 square foot Las Vegas home that overlooks the Vegas strip.

D-Tools Intros Cloud Browser-Based Design Tool BOOTH 1343 New to D-Tools, Cloud is the addition of critical, intelligent system design. Built for collaboration on opportunities, quotes, and system design, D-Tools Cloud’s browser-based and datadriven drawing capabilities remove the need for outside drawing applications A screenshot from the D-Tools Cloud design tool such as Visio or AutoCAD. D-Tools Cloud’s browser-based design tools automatically create data-driven signal flow drawings (Line Diagrams) based on a quote’s bill of materials. D-Tools Cloud helps design a system quickly based on suggested items and work completed in the past. If someone would rather draw first and quote later, D-Tools Cloud enables users to start designing directly, and any items added automatically populates a bill of materials, reducing the tedious task of synchronizing two systems. D-Tools Cloud’s new Whiteboards enable users to sketch out and share ideas, collaborate on design and help clients visualize their project—all in-app.

Dynamic Duo JVC and Panasonic have collaborated to take the guesswork out of achieving the finest image quality that High Dynamic Range (HDR) discs can offer.

All 2019 JVC Native 4K D-ILA projectors feature dedicated color profiles for the acclaimed Panasonic DP-UB9000 Ultra Blu-ray Disc player. These profiles provide automatic tone mapping of HDR content to optimize performance.

A key Panasonic DP-UB9000 feature is the HDR Optimizer, which tone maps HDR10 content based

on the metadata to match the capabilities of the connected display. The JVC projectors’ dedicated

profiles work with the player’s HDR Optimizer to deliver dynamic HDR images.

For the most demanding home theater enthusiast JVC offers the THX Certified DLA-NX9/RS3000,

CMY

the world’s first 8K e-shift home

theater projector that enhances 4K HDR content to achieve even higher resolution and unparalled contrast for a greater sense of depth and a powerfully immersive viewing experience.

If you’re looking for the perfect pairing for your home theater, look no further than JVC and Panasonic.

Alliance representatives will be on-site in the Z-Wave Pavilion (Booth #1743) to discuss the new certification and its benefits for residential integrators and systems technicians. Z-Wave Plus v2 certification brings features like SmartStart, a setup feature that significantly reduces initial system setup time for both consumers and integrators. SmartStart enabled hubs are able to recognize any SmartStart enabled accessory device with a quick app scan of its QR code. With SmartStart, the device’s information is already set up inside the hub and pairing is complete prior to a consumer adding product—the setup all happens behind the scenes, drastically shortening and simplifying the product setup process for consumers. Additional updates for certification of Z-Wave 700-based devices include a requirement for device identification through an LED light on each product to provide user confirmation that the right device is setup within a hub’s app.

‘Tame the Beast’ at OneVision Resources

BOOTH 2651 Technical service has become an overwhelming burden for the majority of integrators. As their client bases have grown and the systems they install become more complex, the ability to provide even basic support is daunting. Like a beast that has been growing in the shadows for years, this service challenge is confronting companies of all shapes and sizes. OneVision is inviting integrators to “Tame the Beast.” OneVision’s dedicated team, deep technical expertise, and software suite streamlines the process of service while, at the same time, creating recurring monthly revenue. This is not a vendor/client relationship, but rather a unique partnership that is designed to transform an integrator’s service department into a major revenue-generating entity. Companies that would be happy for their service department to break even are suddenly realizing that service can be sold as a product, not unlike a loudspeaker or a television. The system is truly scalable, profitable and sustainable. Visit Booth 2651 for more information.

Simply Reliable Launches New truWIP Process in smartOFFICE BOOTH 3020 Simply Reliable is unveiling the truWIP Process. This new feature in smartOFFICE delivers real time revenue recognition, real time job cost, as well as real time percentage of completion automatically. And, all the employees need to do is their regular job. “Integrators are busy, they just flat out do not have any extra time on their hands,” says Simply Reliable CEO/President and Co-Founder. “We have been working on a way to deliver real-time important information about the integrator’s business to them without them having to have a room full of data entry people and forensic accountants. Integrators don’t have time to dig in and find out this important data, yet if they do not know the financial health of their company, they could be just digging themselves a huge hole that they can never get out of. “We added inventory tracking to smartOFFICE in the spring and time tracking at the beginning of summer. These two elements are critical in providing data to smartOFFICE allowing the truWIP process to

intelligently analyze the data and deliver meaningful and important data to the company on a range of metrics about the integrator’s business.” truWIP adds literally no additional work for anyone on the team. This is the process, complete: • When products arrive, scan them in. • When products are delivered to the jobsite, scan them out. • Salespeople create proposals that close. • Deposits are collected via the proposal payment link. • Technicians clock in and out and mark their tasks complete. • Invoices are generated at each milestone. • Quickbooks is automatically updated with realtime revenue recognition.

Luxul Launches Apex XAP-1610 Wireless Access Point BOOTH 905 (Legrand | AV) Wave 2 and 4 x 4 MU-MIMO come together in Luxul’s Apex XAP-1610 AC3100 dual-band wireless access point. Boasting data rates up to 3167Mbps and support for up to 128 wireless devices, the XAP-1610 delivers a connection that is faster and more efficient than any other in the industry, according to the company. The AP’s 4 x 4 technology means Luxul’s Apex XAP-1610 it’s capable of four spatial streams, wireless AP allowing it to communicate with either more devices at once or over more streams with a single device. Wave 2 technologies include beamforming, which allows the XAP-1610 to effectively direct streams to wireless devices for more efficient connections. So while Wi-Fi signals normally get weaker as the device moves further from the AP, beamforming generates a strong signal all the way to the intended device to enable even better performance. And with MU-MIMO, wireless devices no longer have to take turns communicating with the AP, as it’s capable of communicating with multiple compatible devices all at once. This drastically increases the available throughput.
