RTI announced today expanded capabilities for its hybrid KX3 3.5-inch in-wall touch panel keypad. Ideal for installations in homes, classrooms and conference rooms, the cost-effective device combines an in-wall touchscreen interface and a control processor into one pcustomizable unit.

Allowing users to easily engage with their surroundings, the KX3 features a 3.5-inch color WVGA touchscreen, five customizable hard buttons and a completely customizable interface for extremely intuitive navigation. Under the hood is a robust central processor offering myriad benefits, including the ability to leverage RTI’s expansive library of two-way drivers for seamless integration with third-party electronic systems. In addition, the KX3 offers wired and wireless Ethernet, which allows users to view video from network security cameras and seamlessly perform programming updates. Convenient LEDs reveal room status while the built-in camera and microphone support video intercom functionality. Providing intelligent operation, a proximity sensor wakes the unit up when approached by a user.

The all-in-one KX3 offers control without having to purchase an additional processor. Integrators can incorporate a smart device running the RTiPanel app and add an RTI wireless remote via the built-in 2.4 GHz ZigBee antenna, giving their customers even more control options. Additional advanced features include an astronomical clock to schedule and automate events, six voltage sense ports, infrared output and four relays. Its interface can be easily tailored to each specific installation with RTI’s Integration Designer programming software.
