ISE 2010

Imerge is One of First to Offer .Nevo Plug-Ins with Release of NevoStudio® Pro 3.0 Programming Software for NevoS70 Controllers

Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) (NASDAQ:UEIC) today announced the upcoming availability of new .Nevo Plug-ins for use with Imerge media servers. Custom installers can enjoy the simplicity of a pre-made plug-in, created in a collaborative development effort between UEI and Imerge, to establish a rich 2-way interface for their customers.

The new .Nevo Plug-in for Imerge allows users to browse through all of the content available on the Imerge media server directly on NevoS70. When a given media item is selected, the screen that’s now playing shows the cover art, the elapsed time, and any needed controls on Nevo’s rich color display.

“Our business is driven in large part by our strong relationship with quality manufacturers in the professional installation market,” says Em Klaver, VP of Custom Install business unit at Universal Electronics. “The release of the .Nevo Plug-in feature in the NevoStudio Pro 3.0 software release is a giant step in empowering integration partners to easily create a robust and user-friendly 2-way interface to other equipment manufacturer’s devices, regardless of their complexity.”

“Over the last year, Imerge has been working on new hardware and a new user interface to provide the richest, most user friendly interface available for media servers. The user interface created in conjunction with UEI for the NevoS70 is among the best looking touch panel UIs we’ve seen to date and meshes well with ours,” says James Meredith, Global Technical Sales Manager of Imerge. “We applaud Universal Electronics in their foresight of proactively creating the tools we can use to further improve the experience for both installers and end users alike.”

Universal Electronics remains committed to expanding the library of .Nevo Plug-ins available to our dealers around the world. The NevoStudio Pro 3.0 release is slated for February 2010.
