We're really pleased with the new iPort solution that simplifies integrating iPods into a multiroom audio system and does so in a very elegant and clean way.
Integrating an iPod or two...or three or four has become a fairly standard request of our clients.
While we've had a variety of solutions that would allow iPods to be used in either standalone situations or in multiroom systems this is probably the tidiest solution to integrating iPods that we've seen to date.
At its heart the iPort is a docking station, either in-wall or the new free standing unit. What makes the iPort special is that the different models in the range offer increasingly smart ways for our clients to control their iPods from any room in the house.
The simplest iPort offers charging and the ability to output to a local audio system. However, the options carry on from there so you can have Infra Red remote control or you can even have all your iPod music - including your playliststs - available at a separate touchscreen panel in any room in the house. The combination of NetStreams DigiLinX or AMX and iPort means your iPod effectively becomes a Music Server for any room in your house. Brilliant and wonderfully simple to use. There is even an iPort video option to let you access video and photo content from your iPod.
We think the range of manufacturers queuing up to build iPort functionality into their products will increase over the next few months, but if you want to see it running now with DigiLinX it's here today. Contact us for a demo.
