Opus Introduces Customisable DemoPad iPad or iPhone App for the Opus 6 Series (9/2/2012)

ISE 2012

In 2008 Opus revolutionised the multi-room entertainment experience with direct navigation and control of virtually any attached source user interface from Opus touchscreens. This provides end users with intuitive control of every function of the source rather than the limited number of functions available from more typical fixed button layouts. Now with DemoPad, the Opus touchscreen experience is extended to the iPhone and iPad.

DemoPad is a powerful App developed to provide enhanced control of multi-room entertainment and home automation devices from the convenience of an iPad or iPhone. The App uses intuitive interfaces created using the DemoPad Design software.

For end users, DemoPad uses Opus Hotspot control to fully replicate familiar interfaces, such as Sky, on an iPad/iPhone. This added functionality offers all family members intuitive control of their entertainment devices. Furthermore, DemoPad offers enhanced control of virtually any home automation system, including access control and CCTV monitoring from anywhere in the world.

The benefits for the installer are equally compelling. With virtually infinite scope for customisation, including advanced macro operations, DemoPad is the perfect complementary control platform for Opus 6 Series. The PC software suite is pre-configured with Opus commands and can be fully personalised with custom graphics, backgrounds and icons enabling the installer to efficiently create a unique interface for the individual client. Once created this can be easily transferred to the DemoPad control App on the iPad or iPhone.

James Meredith, Opus Product Manager said, “Opus has worked closely with DemoPad to introduce a new level of control to Opus 6 series. With optimised features, functionality and configuration for Opus 6 series, installers can now offer even greater control possibilities.” Mike Cain, DemoPad Director added “With DemoPad, Opus Installers can now offer their clients an inexpensive, yet high value control dimension.”
