CATC

Color Audioaccess® Touchscreen Controller

The Audioaccess CATC is a stylish color touchscreen controller that provides a rich user interface for Audioaccess PX-700-based systems. The touchscreen incorporates a wide range of advanced source control features, yet embodies the classic Audioaccess reputation for ease of use. The CATC also manages other home devices using optional interface modules, handling everything from simple one-way lighting control to providing feedback from entertainment sources such as music hard disc servers and CD/DVD libraries.

Control Capabilities

Like our famous eight-button keypad, the CATC controls basic audio functions such as power, source control and volume, while offering advanced control functions for all A/V components. Template screens are provided in our EasyTouch II application to simplify programming and user control. Additional screens may be created to customize the user interface.

The built-in “Librarian” offers text control of high-capacity sources such as satellite receivers and CD and hard disc library sources. It displays text on-screen to allow access to a specific station or disc. Options include retrieving text feedback from sources such as hard disc music servers, thus providing full two-way feedback from these library-based sources.

In addition to controlling the audio/video sources of the Audioaccess system, the CATC uses its multiple control ports for integration with RS-232-controlled subsystems such as lighting and HVAC. Via connection of optional one-way or the two-way RS-232 interface modules, any CATC touchscreen within a system may control a device connected to a system touchscreen. The CATC allows access to timer functions, such as a “Wake Up” event to “Turn On” or “Turn Off” any room of the home. A “Rooms” screen allows a touchscreen in the kitchen to control another room in the house; activate the dining room, or set up a music source outside on the patio before leaving the interior of the home.

Standard Operation

The colorful user interface is both fun and intuitive to use. The touchscreen includes a series of programmable screens with touch-sensitive areas that are indicated by a combination of buttons, icons and any imported graphics.

On-screen text messages are employed for the “Rooms” feature, which informs the user as to what room outside of the touchscreen location is being controlled. Text messages are also used for the built- in library manager and for use as feedback messages from sources that provide song, artist and title information to the touch- screens.

Programming Screens

Programming ease is a major facet of the CATC design. A built-in library of prepro- grammed buttons is supplied with our EasyTouch II application. EasyTouch II allows drag and drop of actions and buttons from a library into the programming screens. Buttons are easily relabeled.
