Founded in 1982, AMX Corporation, a subsidiary of Duchossois Industries, Inc., is a worldwide leader in advanced control and automation technology for commercial and residential markets. AMX products enable users to centrally manage and control a variety of audio/video, environmental and communications technologies. The company's advanced hardware and software platforms also provide the capability to store and distribute digital content, as well as to manage a selection of resources and services.

Product Range

The main AMX product range comprises the Modero range of intuitive touch panel user interfaces, Mio remote controls and keypads, Netlinx controllers, MAX content servers, AutoPatch professional matrix switchers, Endeleo media distribution products, and the Matrix audio controller line.

Modero Intuitive Touch Panels

The Modero range of touch screen panels deliver a simple-to-use interface for controlling any AMX system. Icon-based menus effortlessly guide the user through the control options, regardless of the size and complexity of the control system. The range comprises widescreen and conventional screen formats in various sizes, along with the option of hard-wired and wireless options.

Hard-wired panels can also accept video feeds to their screens, doubling as high quality televisions or CCTV monitors. A single touch returns the screen display to its control panel layout or both TV and touch controls can be displayed simultaneously.

Equipped with microphone and speakers, Modero panels can also be used as a complete communications facility, enabling the touch panel to fulfil the role of a hands-free telephone, while simultaneously providing access to the Internet, sending/receiving emails and operating networked PCs. A recent addition to the range is Modero panels with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) capability, enabling the units to be used as an intercom or company-wide paging facility.

Mio Remote Controls and Keypads

AMX's R-Series Remote Controls provide handheld control of one room installations to large multi-location installations in a sleek, stylish and slim form factor. Remote controls are available in IR, one-way RF and two-way RF signal transmissions for in-room or room-to-room control.

The Mio Modero keypad series includes four models - Classic, Prestige, Elite and Attaché - offering the versatility to address a range of control needs, from simple to multi-function.

NetLinx Controllers

The NetLinx 'NI series' of integrated controllers provides the intelligent link between the touch panel user interface, remote control or keypad and the electronic equipment being controlled. Utilising powerful processors, running tailored software programs, the NI controllers will interface with and control virtually any electrically-operated device in a commercial or residential environment.

Offering a variety of input and output ports, NetLinx controllers can be used over common communication networks, including Ethernet and the Internet (using TCP/IP protocols).
