Mike Phillips, project manager and audio engineer at Fidelity, which did the system design and integration at the sports bar, chose the Xantech LM110RP Smartpad3 Single Gang Keypad Controller to enable the system to allow patrons at each booth in the lounge to control their own A/V content. In addition, the Xantech CSPLCD64 Commercial Touchscreen Display was also integrated into the system.
Fidelity Sound Reinforcement installed a dozen LM110 push-button controllers in the lounge, one at every booth. The LM110 offers those seated in the booth the ability to call up any channel from DirecTV, including the channel guides and pre-selected sports channels, as well as control over the volume of their display. Additionally, staff can also customize the experience by choosing which sports events are on any of the ten 52-inch LCD displays placed throughout the lounge, which are controlled using Xantech's CSPLCD64.
Phillips was pleased with how easily the Xantech equipment was programmed and how well it's performing. "The installation was pretty simple and trouble-free," he says. "Everything that controls the video in that restaurant is Xantech, and the customers and employees have been really pleased with it."
