INSTALLATION FLEXIBILITY

With a low profile design, easy-to-access connections, and mounting wings with rack-mount spacing, the HT-MSU can be wall-mounted behind theater components or attached to the back of metal professional racks. The HT-MSU incorporates an infrared pass-through port allowing control over sources that use original remotes, even if the system is hidden from view.

RELIABLE ZIGBEE® RF COMMUNICATION

The iC2 System uses a very reliable 2.4 GHz radio frequency that works extremely well even in RF “noisy” environments. The iC2 System’s 10-channel and 16-network ID capability allows multiple iC2 Systems to be used near each other, as well as in multiple-dwelling units like condos and townhouses.

QUICK AND EASY SET-UP WITH WIZARD-BASED NILES QUICKCONFIGPC CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE

An iC2 System configuration can be programmed, saved, and edited using the Niles QuickConfig PC Configuration Software and Niles IR-CS Infrared Capture Station. The QuickConfig software is wizard based and guides the installer/programmer through basic and advanced system designs.

ASSIGNABLE RELAYS AND 12V OUTPUTS

Three dry contact closures and three 12V DC trigger outputs can be independently programmed to give installers greater control of mechanical devices or voltage-triggered power strips and dispersion controlled home theater loudspeakers.

INTELLIGENT INTEGRATION WITH MULTIZONE SYSTEMS

The Home Theater Main System Unit includes control ports that allow the iC2 System to “share” sources with whole-house distributed audio systems. The power state of these “shared” sources can be completely managed so that sources are always powered-on when they need to be and powered-off when both whole-house and home theater systems are turned off.

PROGRAM MEMORY PROTECTION

The entire system profile is stored in non-volatile memory within the HT-MSU. This safeguards against accidental loss of the configuration programming for the entire life of the product under normal use.
