AMX Begins Shipping Modero X Panoramic Touchpanels, Taking User Experience to the Next Level
AMX®, the leading provider of unified control and automation solutions, has announced the immediate availability of the much anticipated Modero® X Series touchpanels. Offering an intuitive user experience and a truly ergonomic design, the Modero X Series family of frameless, panoramic and widescreen touchpanels redefines touchpanel technology by giving users a 'control surface' on which to perform multiple activities, all at the same time.
The Modero X Series combines edge-2-edge glass, capacitive multi-touch and a low-profile to deliver a more usable space and a richly engaging user experience. Its innovative design allows users to access several applications with minimal navigation and offers the ability to manage multiple video windows simultaneously; such as presenting, controlling and previewing. And, because of its incredibly intuitive user-interface, anyone using a Modero X, regardless of skill or technical familiarity, can ”Start Presentation” or “Watch Blu-ray” with no instruction, just a touch.
“While the Modero X Series is a radical departure from last-generation touchpanels, we didn’t stop there - we tried to anticipate the future of device personalisation,” said AMX Chief Technology Officer Robert Noble. “We expect Near Field Communications to be a big player in creating a truly personalised home or office and Modero X owners will be ready to take advantage of this technology as it is integrated into more devices.”
There are many advanced technologies that make the Modero X Series truly stand out against other touch panels in the marketplace: an integrated high definition camera in tabletop models for video chat and conferencing, Bluetooth and USB external phone connections, high definition video streaming and support for NFC are a just a few.
With the initial shipment, AMX is releasing the 20.3” and 19.4” panoramic models, in tabletop and wall-mounted options. The 20.3” model measures an impressive 18.7” wide and 7.75” tall for over 145 square inches of usable control surface. The 19.4” model measures an equally impressive 18.7” wide and 5.15” tall creating over 96 square inches of usable control surface. The three additional Modero X Series models, in 4.3”, 7” and 10” widescreen, will begin shipping in Q2, 2012.
AMX hardware and software solutions simplify the implementation, maintenance, and use of technology to create effective environments. With the increasing number of technologies and operating platforms at work and home, AMX solves the complexity of managing this technology with reliable, consistent and scalable systems. The company’s range of award-winning products spans control and automation, system-wide switching and audio/video signal distribution, digital signage and technology management.
