Hey Pros!

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. — F. Bueller

Things are really moving now! AVA OS, the Cinema Remote, the Nano Brain, and the rest of the cast started shipping a couple months ago and AVA has already dropped two big updates full of features. So many IP drivers: Samsung TVs, Anthem, Marantz, Trinnov, Nvidia Shield, Kaleidescape, and more. And lots of other features. But what’s coming up?! Well, in this quick edition of AVA Pro News, I’m dropping you a big hint about where you can find out at least some of what our developers are working on. One of the links might reveal status on things like…maybe…IP control for LG TVs or Roku IP driver? You’ll have to click through to find out.

Cinema Remote and the Dynamic Keypad

Among the many innovations you can find in using AVA Cinema Remote, the one that stands out most is the Dynamic Keypad. Cinema Remote goes a completely different direction from all previous “universal” remotes by introducing the Dynamic Keypad as a better way than the traditional button cluster.

When you show the Dynamic Keypad to your clients, here are the things to highlight:

1. 3D Glass - the 3-dimensional glass surface guide your thumb right to a home position so you don’t need to look down.
2. Perfect click - With each press you will feel the quality of engineering we put into it.
3. Dynamic - Dynamic Keypad changes its button labels and functions according to the current media source, and even in coordination with the touch screen use interface. Demonstrate how switching the touchscreen from a channels interface to a TV apps interface smartly changes the Dynamic Keypad’s channel buttons to skip forward and back buttons.
