Smart-e collaborates with Extra Vegetables on 3rd party controller (11/5/2010)

To provide a more efficient method of controlling a Smart-e AV distribution matrix via IP from a Control4 system, Smart-e has collaborated with driver company Extra Vegetables to design and build a new IP interface and driver option.

The new ethernet network IP interface and driver bundle enhance the seamless integration between Smart-e matrices and Control4 controllers for residential use. The advantages are increased speed and improved reliability, whilst freeing up a serial port.

The control system is available direct from Extra Vegetables, along with system support, whilst Smart-e remains the seller of the matrices.

As Jon Lane managing director at Smart-e said “We are delighted with this new partnership with Extra Vegetables, as their new equipment enhances the control of our matrices when using third party control”.    Simon Scotland of Extra Vegetables added "Smart-e switches are so important for installers with their ability to distribute differing video formats over a single CAT 5 control. It's great to be able to bring these under smart control within the Control4 world".
