Hi Jonathon
I to have been on this quest but without much joy. So if anyone
out
there has some good suggestions: bring em on!
So far I have concluded that the only real solution would be to
use:
A custom made or proprietary (I.e Leopard.) touch screen. You could
use
ACE or one of the other PC control packages for the interface.
An IR based unit such as the SMART pads from Xantech. (Very
customisable
in terms of buttons.)
Both of these are expensive though. I still LOVE the wall
panels
supplied by Polaron lighting I know they work off RS232, if we
could
find their supplier (As I'm certain they don't make them as I've
seen
them used in other bespoke systems.) and someone could write
the
interface between them and say Comfort/HomeVision then that would be
one
hell of a bulk buy...come on Tony our resident bulk buy pimp!
Many Thanks
Rob

As your talking about keypads, is there anyway that these can
be
interfaced
into a pc ?? - as I think they look quite neat...
Or does anyone do a type of keypad that can be interfaced to a pc
?
Whatabout any form of wall-mounted display / button thing so the
volume
/
source can be changed without using the remote ?
Any idea's / url's welcome ..
Jonathan "still learning..."

Yep I noticed the similarities with the Russound keypads. They tell
me
though that this is where the similarities end!
Many Thanks

Rob,
I feared as much regarding pricing - out of my league :-( . Is is
a
"Russound" product as they appear to use the same name for
their
keypads
i.e. "A-Bus".
It looks like the "Kustom" system will remain at the top of
my
list for
now,
even if the keypads aren't as pretty.
Cheers,
Tim H.

Hi
I had a look at this a while ago before it was officially launched.
Opus
is actually owned by the Richer Sounds Group. Somewhere at home I
have
the product brochure and pricing but it is EXPENSIVE. Getting on
for
£2500 for a 4 room system and then another £800+ a room. Don't
forget
you still then need sources and speakers. NOT cheap as I say. IMO
if
you've got this much to spend have a look a QED Systemline first its
as
good and more established. However the wall panels are not as pretty
I
agree.
If you want me to find that contact name and prices I can dig it
out.
Many Thanks
Rob

Love it, particularly the way it looks. It seems a shame to hide it
all
away.
Any idea of prices / distributors ?
Also, quoting from their site:
"To connect these components together a specially developed
balanced
transmission cable is used, which, unlike most multi room
systems,
requires
only a single run of cable to carry audio, data and power to and
from
each
zone."
Cat5 I assume. Interesting description though, perhaps a way
of
attempting
to justify the price of the system ?
