AMX Continues Evolutionary Touch Panel Innovations With 7" Modero Widescreen

New Touch Panel the Most Advanced of Its Size on the Market Today

AMX Corporation (NASDAQ:AMXC) , a worldwide leader in advanced control system technology, announces the new 7" Modero(TM) Widescreen Touch Panel, an innovative addition to our award-winning line of Modero Touch Panels. The 7" Modero Widescreen provides extra on-screen real estate, making it the perfect fit for any integrated environment. The 7" Modero Widescreen's 16x9 aspect ratio easily accommodates graphics, icons and video windows on a single screen. Table Top and Wall Mount versions of the panel are available with optional external pushbuttons and wireless capabilities.

The 7" Modero Widescreen incorporates the latest G4 graphics, representing an astounding evolution by AMX in user interface design capabilities. Users can experience the freedom of wireless by using the standard 802.11b Wi-Fi Card to achieve wireless audio intercom and control capabilities, ultimately eliminating unsightly cables to create an aesthetically pleasing environment.

"The Modero line of Touch Panels, our most successful product launch in company history, continues to expand its reach into other market segments with the introduction of the 7" Widescreen," said Rashid Skaf, Executive Vice President. "It was only a year ago when we debuted the Modero series and it already includes Touch Panels in 7", 12", 15" and 17" sizes, as well as the new 7.5" and 8.5" Modero ViewPoints. What a difference a year makes."

The 7" Modero Widescreen carries on the AMX tradition of giving the end user a Touch Panel with outstanding high resolution, color, contrast and brightness. Utilizing color active LCD technology and 800x480 resolution, graphics and video appear clear and sharp. The 7" Modero Widescreen showcases 18-bits per pixel of color depth, 350+cd/m2 peak brightness and a 200:1 contrast ratio.

The 7" Modero Widescreen is the ideal solution for end users who desire the convenience of additional on-screen real estate when the surroundings call for a smaller, unobtrusive panel size. Between the 7" and 17" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels, the end user and dealer now have the ability to choose from an expanded line of feature-intensive Modero Touch Panels, all designed to meet their specific needs today and into the future.

Other multi-media options include built-in speakers and microphone, a headphone connection and the ability to play back MP3 and WAV audio files. A photosensitive light detector on the front of the panel determines surrounding degrees of light and automatically regulates the brightness of the display. As with the latest AMX Touch Panels, the 7" Modero Widescreen comes with 64MB of memory and compact flash, offering more graphically rich user interface designs and the ability to retain valuable data in the event of unforeseen power loss.
