About the MLX-2
The new MLX-2 is a state-of-the-art handheld remote featuring Crestron® infiNET EX™ two-way wireless RF. Its compact size and ergonomic design facilitates one-handed operation; 57 programmable buttons enable intuitive, tactile control over everything from whole house automation to corporate boardrooms. A large, easy-to-read LCD screen displays dynamic text with true feedback, supporting scrolling menus of channels, media titles and numerous other commands. The screen can also show the time, lighting levels, room temperature, and other real-time data. The pushbuttons and LCD both have electroluminescent backlighting to provide optimal visibility in a range of lighting environments. Static or dynamic text scrolls vertically for lists; horizontally for items such as metadata from AV sources. Environmental presets and conditions can be viewed and controlled, and audio and lighting levels appear in percentage or bar graph form. Windows® SideShow™ support provides access to all kinds of PC and Web-based content such as news feeds, sports scores, and weather alerts.
The CEN-RFGW-EX infiNET EX gateway stores and processes all the programming, data, button presses and display changes for up to 16 MLX-2 remotes. As a result, each unit draws very little power, extending battery life. The gateway synchronizes continuously with the control system to seamlessly communicate with any MLX-2 on the network.
