Home Theater System


Below is a schematic picture of a basic Control4 home theater control system with the ability to stream digital audio to 2 other rooms in the house. Control4 products connect via a home network using standard Ethernet or 802.11b/g wireless Ethernet connections. Control signals from the RF system remote use Zigbee (802.15.4) mesh networking for reliable command transmission between devices. This handheld remote allows you to easily navigate the on screen interface to watch a DVD, select a favorite TV channel, or launch your favorite music playlist, and will replace the 4 or more remotes you may now be using to control your entertainment complex.

Multi-Room Audio

The above system includes a Home Theater Controller with System Remote Control, one Ethernet Speaker Point with Remote Control, one Wifi Speaker Point, and a Wireless LCD Keypad. The Speaker Points receive the digital audio transmission from the Home Theater Controller and convert to stereo outputs for speakers located in the two other rooms. The second Remote Control and the LCD Keypad provide a user interface to the system in those rooms providing complete control over the audio selection of each room. Note two different music selections can be played in each room while a DVD is being simultaneously viewed in the theater room.

Home Theater Controller Rear

The rear of the Home Theater Controller (HTC) shows the connectivity supported by this system, which includes:

  • 1 analog audio input and 2 analog audio outputs
  • 4 video sensing inputs and 2 looped outputs
  • S-video and composite video outputs for the on-screen display
  • Serial: 1 input/output, pluggable terminal blocks
  • Contact: 1 input, pluggable terminal blocks
  • Relay: 1 output, pluggable terminal blocks
  • USB: 1 rear port
  • Ethernet: 10/100base-T (802.3), RJ45 jack
  • IR: 1 front panel input, 6 outputs, 3.5mm phone jacks

Attach a HP Personal Media Drive to the HTC USB port and you have a music server that will stream digital audio from your My Music folder to each of the 3 rooms controlled by this system. The serial input allows the HTC to monitor the zones and arm/disarm any security system with a serial output. The contact input and relay output can be used to control a motorized screen or window coverings.

The ultimate flexibility and simplicity of the Control4 Home Theater System will enhance your home entertainment experience like no other product in it's price range.

This system can be yours for just $1,895.00 plus installation!
