FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Mobile, AL, March 5, 2007—CentraLite Systems® Inc., an innovative developer of lighting control and home automation products, announced today the availability of an IR receiver that will allow most home theater remote control modules to communicate directly with its LiteJet, Elegance and StarLite lighting control systems. With this added component, CentraLite customers with home theaters can now use just one button on their master remote control to dim the lights and begin the show.
“The fun and drama of a home theater really begins when the lights dim,” said Diane Davis, vice president of marketing. “For CentraLite customers with home theaters, their room lighting can now be integrated into the entertainment system and adjusted with the theater remote or touchpad. Decide what light settings you prefer for watching television or a movie and code them into the remote. When the movie sequence begins, the lights will automatically dim to the predetermined level without anyone jumping up to turn the lights down at the switch. It’s a convenience that adds a lot to the enjoyment to the home theater experience. If components for music, gaming or other entertainment activities are included in the home theater system, additional lighting settings can be coded specially for these activities."
The receiver is compatible with any home theater remote that uses the Philips/Marantz .ccf or .pcf command protocol. Most recent remotes use this protocol including units from Philips, Logitech, Sony and many other major electronics manufacturers. The RS-232-based component is now available from CentraLite Systems, Inc.
