How does a Living Control system work?
Your Living Control installer will plug your music sources
into what’s called a CPU (Central Processing Unit). This
clever box of tricks connects with the keypads in each room.
It sends your commands from the keypads to the source you
want to listen to and then directs the music to the room you’re
in. If you have a multi-disc changer, the installer loads
the system with the disc titles via PC software, so you can
recall a disc by name from a keypad anywhere in the home.
The system stores the names alphabetically, so artist selection
is made by pressing the “Search” button on the keypad
followed by the first letter of the name. If you change or
add a CD, simply update the name using your PC. It’s
so simple.
The process is made even simpler by installing Living Control’s
Afinity MusicBox3 home server. This hard-drive device uploads
and stores all your CDs and can download music from the Internet,
retaining titles automatically.
If you install Living Control’s Afinity RoomBox6VX CPU,
you’ll be able to switch video to different rooms using
the same Living Control keypads/touch screens for the complete
multi-room entertainment experience.
So easy to use
Living Control’s systems give you the sophisticated
but easy-to-use luxury of multi-room media distribution from
a wall mounted ‘control panel’ in a range of décor
matching finishes. As compact as a light switch, these backlit
displays show you what is playing, and guide you through the
intuitive system functions. They also receive commands from
a remote control so that you can select track, channel and
volume from the comfort of an armchair.
DISPLAYPAD (Compatible with RoomBox6, RoomBox4, MRS/EVENT/3HREE)
The key component for controlling any of Living Control's
multi-room products is the DisplayPad.
Each zone (room) within the system has a DisplayPad, which
is extremely simple to use thanks to its intuitive display
and three buttons which guide you through operation.
From each DisplayPad you can choose what you want to listen
to. Most of the multi-disc CD players available today are
compatible with Living Control's systems, and, no matter in
what order your CDs are loaded in the player, you can choose
exactly what you want to listen to from an alphabetically
sorted list shown on the DisplayPad. This also applies to
radio and TV station names and DVDs as well.
The compact design of the DisplayPad means that it can easily
blend in with your decor. No special fixings or boxes are
required because all of the DisplayPads currently available
fit in a standard 25mm UK back box. They are available in
a variety of finishes to match your existing switch plates.
We even manufacture special environment plates for use outdoors
or in humid conditions such as swimming pools.
DISPLAYPAD-S (Compatible with RoomBox6, RoomBox4, MRS/EVENT)
Adding to the wide range of Living Control DisplayPad finishes,
the new super-chic DisplayPad-S provides another beautifully
styled option for design gurus. DisplayPad-S will deliver
the same peerless flexibility that has made the DisplayPad
Living Control’s most popular control interface, but
is easier to fit and to program.
DISPLAYPAD-S/RAKO PLATE for lighting control
Simple and direct: the new combined DisplayPad-S and Rako
control panels. Choose from all the sources, change track
or station and control volume with the DisplayPad-S. Choose
a lighting effect to enhance any occasion with the integrated
Rako control panel. Up to four lighting scenes plus up/down
dimming at the push of a button.
The new Rako controller plugs in the back of a Living Control
RoomBox6 CPU. This means that all the ‘Events’ will
control Rako dimmers. In this configuration the powerful VideoPad-AV
will also control lights in a home cinema room.
DISPLAYPAD-SL
Introducing even more choice and flexibility fir installers,
DisplayPad-SL offers the refined quality of intuitive music
and media control that Living Control has made its own. Designed
primarily for the RoomBox 4 system, but compatible with other
systems, DisplayPad-SL is another easy-to-fit option, which
enhances the power of Living Control Systems to exceed the
expectations of installers and consumers
