Savant Introduces the ROSIE Base Controller
September 2007
Osterville, MA. — Savant Systems LLC, with a visionary approach to home automation that emphasizes reliability and a maintenance-friendly open platform, has announced the introduction of the ROSIE Base Controller. The Base Controller is a modular and scalable controller addressing the automation requirements common in large installations. The ROSIE Base Controller includes a blend of the most common control formats:
- (8) – RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 serial ports
- (6) – IR / serial transmitter ports
- (4) – Relay (Dry Contacts) ports
- (7) – GPIO (12 V Trigger IO) ports
- (3) – Ethernet 10/100/1000
The modular design of the ROSIE Base Controller makes it upgradeable through the addition of audio processing, video processing, and/or touchpanel distribution modules as the homeowner’s needs evolve. The capabilities of the world class video and audio processing modules eliminate the need to purchase expensive single-function stand-alone solutions. Paired with ROSIE touchpanels and remote controls, consumers can manage the ROSIE-controlled multimedia via Savant’s family of graphically-rich and intuitive touchscreens and/or by using the On-Screen Display (OSD) feature.
The ROSIE Base Controller is compatible with the innovative RacePoint Blueprint™ design tool, an advanced, intelligent, and easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring, programming, and customizing the Base Controller’s software. RacePoint Blueprint™ provides the flexibility and control that installers and system integrators must have in order to efficiently build, configure, and customize each installation without the need for costly low-level programming.
ROSIE Controllers have been engineered to deliver a competitive solution with the capability to control a range of devices in multi-room environments, such as flat panel displays, DVD players, AV receivers, set-top boxes, projectors, lighting, security cameras, thermostats, window treatments, and other equipment commonly deployed in a residential setting.
