Atlona Technologies announced that the company’s Si and Signature line matrix switchers have earned Control4 certification, ensuring compatibility integration with Control4 home automation systems. In addition, the company said it will be hitting the road with Control4 as part of the latter’s 2011 dealer education tour.
Atlona’s Control4-certified matrix switchers include models for home theater, light commercial AV systems, and large-scale digital signage, government, military, and heavy commercial applications. In addition to Control4 certification, many Atlona matrix switchers feature RS-232 interfaces and use the standard ASCII format, making them compatible with most major control systems, company officials said.

Earning Control4 certification for our switching products is a testament to that commitment,” said Ilya Khayn, president of Atlona Technologies, in a statement. “Installers utilizing Control4 automation systems can be confident that our powerful solutions can be integrated seamlessly, providing simplified operation over multiple sources and displays.”
