Hi I'm Jeff Thomas, I'm a
product manager with Control4. |
| 00:00:08 |
00:00:11 |
Today I'd like to introduce you
to the Home Controller HC-1000 V3. |
| 00:00:12 |
00:00:14 |
We've introduced
the HC-1000 V3 |
| 00:00:14 |
00:00:15 |
at a significantly lower price;
|
| 00:00:16 |
00:00:18 |
it's over $1,000 less
than its predecessor. |
| 00:00:19 |
00:00:21 |
We encourage you to look at
previous systems that you've installed |
| 00:00:22 |
00:00:23 |
and see where they might
benefit from the speed |
| 00:00:24 |
00:00:26 |
an HC-1000 would
bring to their system. |
| 00:00:27 |
00:00:29 |
The differences between
the V2 and the V3 |
| 00:00:29 |
00:00:32 |
really are differences
that resulted from our efforts |
| 00:00:33 |
00:00:34 |
to reduce the cost of this unit.
|
| 00:00:35 |
00:00:36 |
The chassis is different.
|
| 00:00:36 |
00:00:39 |
We worked hard to get this cost
down by working on the chassis, |
| 00:00:39 |
00:00:42 |
a couple of other mechanical
elements of the product, |
| 00:00:42 |
00:00:44 |
we have a different
power supply in it. |
| 00:00:45 |
00:00:48 |
Functionally though it's
exactly the same as the version 2. |
| 00:00:48 |
00:00:50 |
In fact, if you go back
to a customer system |
| 00:00:50 |
00:00:53 |
and you want to
add a HC-1000 V3 |
| 00:00:53 |
00:00:57 |
you can use a V2 driver,
it is backwards compatible. |
| 00:00:58 |
00:01:01 |
We will be shipping the V3
|
| 00:01:01 |
00:01:03 |
with 173,
software version 173, |
| 00:01:04 |
00:01:06 |
so that it will be easier to
go back and fit these |
| 00:01:06 |
00:01:09 |
into systems that have
been installed in the past. |
| 00:01:10 |
00:01:12 |
It is always easier to upgrade
than it is to downgrade, |
| 00:01:12 |
00:01:15 |
so we decided to ship
these with 173 on them. |
| 00:01:15 |
00:01:19 |
The HC-1000 V3
is still rack mountable, |
| 00:01:19 |
00:01:20 |
just as its predecessors were.
|
| 00:01:21 |
00:01:23 |
However, to decrease
shipping damage |
| 00:01:23 |
00:01:25 |
we chose to ship it
without the ears on. |
| 00:01:25 |
00:01:27 |
So when you receive
your HC-1000 V3 |
| 00:01:27 |
00:01:29 |
make sure you look for the ears,
|
| 00:01:29 |
00:01:30 |
they're packaged in a
small box in the package. |
| 00:01:31 |
00:01:33 |
You can easily attach them
to the side of the unit |
| 00:01:34 |
00:01:35 |
before you install it.
|
| 00:01:35 |
00:01:38 |
It has the same 500GB hard drive
on a SATA interface |
| 00:01:38 |
00:01:41 |
so we can handle really
quick data transfer. |
| 00:01:41 |
00:01:44 |
It has got a Gigabit Ethernet
network adaptor, |
| 00:01:45 |
00:01:46 |
so you can hook it up
to Gigabit networks |
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:49 |
and also have fast
data transfers there |
| 00:01:49 |
00:01:51 |
and fast communication
with all the elements |
| 00:01:51 |
00:01:53 |
in the Control4 system.
|
| 00:01:53 |
00:01:55 |
You will notice, when you
use one of these HC-1000s, |
| 00:01:55 |
00:01:57 |
that navigators are fast,
|
| 00:01:57 |
00:02:00 |
the touch screen
responsiveness increases, |
| 00:02:00 |
00:02:03 |
responsiveness on remotes
even increase. |
| 00:02:03 |
00:02:06 |
We encourage everybody to look
at HC-1000s for every system. |
| 00:02:07 |
00:02:09 |
They are much more affordable,
as I already mentioned, |
| 00:02:09 |
00:02:11 |
and we really want
people to go back |
| 00:02:11 |
00:02:14 |
and maybe look at their
customer systems from the past |
| 00:02:14 |
00:02:18 |
and look at them and
see if maybe the HC-1000 |
| 00:02:18 |
00:02:19 |
would be the right fit for them
|
| 00:02:19 |
00:02:21 |
now that they're so
much more affordable. |
| 00:02:21 |
