It also adds the red, green, yellow, and blue buttons that are now commonplace on Blu-ray and DSS systems. The MX-780 ($299) hits a new price point in URC’s CCP line-up for a color-screened remote. Both remotes are also compatible with URC’s 418 MHz lighting controls. I used both remotes in conjunction with my existing URC MSC-400 radio frequency system controller. Also, adding additional remotes to existing projects is fast and simple I merely added these to my home’s “project” along with the trigger macros for “Watch Cable TV” and “Watch Kaleidescape” and the programming was mostly complete. This means that when you’ve learned to program one, you pretty much know how to program them all. One of the great things about both of these controllers is that they program using URC’s powerful, Complete Control Program (CCP) software. The two remotes reviewed here–MX-780 and MXW-920–both debuted at the CEDIA EXPO this year and are exciting for different reasons, one for price and one for performance. And if you’ve yet to give URC a go, then these remotes might be the nudge needed to give them a try. If you’re familiar with the offerings from Universal Remote Control–now just URC–then these new models will perfectly fill holes in your sales line. You know, that controller that is spec’d on all jobs because your templates are already made and it fits into the budget line item with such ease. Above: The MXW-920 remote allows URC’s dealers to offer a remote for installation areas for which you’ve probably never had a great solution.Īnd whether selected on basis of price, features, programming simplicity, or enduser ease-of-use, most integrators likely have developed a controller brand or model of choice. Left: URC’S MX-780 offers installers programming power and flexibility at a price point that will enable selling more remotes on a project. This means that the remote is arguably the most powerful component in any system. A wellprogrammed control system is the glue that ties the crazy-expensive projector, over-the-top surround system, hard disk movie server, and hunk-of-crap cable company DVR together. Quite simply, no matter how good the components are, a poor controller means a bad system.
