One Touch “Intelligent Macros” To Turn The Entire Home Theater On or Off

Normal home theater system operation requires you to turn on multiple components. It is easy to make a mistake, which can create a situation where you must be a detective and hunt down the fugitive component that is “off”, when it really should be “on”. The IntelliControl eliminates all of this troubleshooting. A single touch of any of the ten installer labeled “scene-setting” keys (typically labeled for sources e.g. TV, VCR, CD) will initiate an intelligent sequence of commands (macro).

The IntelliControl will only issue a component’s power command if it is off. All of the necessary components are turned on, every time. After the system components have been turned on, the IntelliControl automatically completes the system configuration, enabling you to watch and listen to the selected source. Now, a complex mix of different brands of audio/video components can be operated with the same ease and simplicity of a traditional television set.

Automatically Unmute the System

Many surround-sound preamps or receivers can unpleasantly surprise you with their “mute” functions. For example, if you mute the system to answer a phone call and then press a Master Key or the “Volume Up” Key, the volume will be too low. If you first raise the volume then remember that you muted it, a press of the “Mute” button will issue a deafening blast.

The IntelliControl is capable of “managing” the mute command. The system will mute when you press the “Mute” key. However, it will now unmute automatically whenever you press a Master Key, “Volume Up” or the “Mute” key.

Manage and Automate “Unfriendly” Components

Many high-performance audio/video components have remote control functions that are impossible to automate with conventional automation equipment. The components are really just designed for the user who demands manual control at all times. The IntelliControl has unique software “managers” which enable complete automation of components that are difficult to automate. For the first time, components chosen for optimum performance can be automated using the IntelliControl.

Trigger Screens, Screen Masking Devices, Projector Lifts, Curtains and Drapes

The IntelliControl provides dedicated 12-volt DC triggers for both the Video and the Audio Scenes. The Video scene also triggers a latching (normally open) and a latching (normally closed) contact relay. An "assignable" relay and 12v DC voltage can be triggered by any key as a step in a programmed sequence. These relays and voltages enable devices which are not IR controlled to be automated by the IntelliControl system.

PC Programmable with IntelliFile II

An IntelliControl system configuration can be programmed, saved, and edited using the Niles IntelliFile II PC Interface and Programming Software. A PC running Windows 95 or 98 is required. Unfortunately, Niles does not offer a Mac compatible version at this time.
