VidaBox Now Offers Pre-packaged Whole House Audio Solutions with Multi-room Distribution Systems

VidaBox LLC, a manufacturer of digital entertainment and control solutions, is proud to offer complete whole house audio packages.  Based on the VidaBox line of multiroom audio servers, these packages include NuVo® multiroom distribution and amplification equipment.

"These new packages are a natural progression of delivering new features and better value for our dealer base," states Steven Cheung, President of VidaBox LLC. "Most of our integrators are already using NuVo® and Russound® in their multiroom audio installs.  However, many of them shy away from adding a VidaBox audio server into the mix because of the learning curve, even if it means having new features like internet radio, sleep/wake functions, or whole house audio control from a single TouchClient™ or vPad™ touch panel.  By marrying the two as a complete solution, dealers can get a single package that eliminates setup and installation headaches, since VidaBox takes care of all of the configuration work at the factory."

VidaBox Releases new TouchClient8 In-wall PC Touch Panel

VidaBox LLC, a manufacturer of digital entertainment and control solutions, is excited to announce the availability of the TouchClient8™, a full-color, 8.4" in-wall touch panel with an XP embedded computer.

"From the first day of offering the TouchClient12™, we kept getting asked, 'Do you have a smaller version?'" says Steven Cheung, President of VidaBox LLC. "As always, we listen intently to our integrators, and created this new, smaller version called TouchClient8™.  It has the same great features & connectivity options of the original design without any sacrifices, just with a smaller, 800x600 native resolution touch screen."

Like its larger cousin, the TouchClient8™ runs on XP embedded, and has stereo speakers, dual USB, dual Ethernet, and dual RS-232 ports - allowing the possibility of local automation directly from the TouchClient8™.  It only requires a 12V power source & a network connection, or a WiFi network using its built-in 802.11b/g wireless card.  There are no moving parts like fans or hard drives, allowing every TouchClient8™ to enjoy long life and high-reliability.
