hike Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 From a prior Ryan E posting:I'm not discounting anything, or shoveling vaporware.What we were showing at CEDIA was a technology preview. Until it's an officially announced product, in an official press release, it's not a product. We may (and have previously) decide from time to time to not develop products that were technology previews, although I would find it unlikely in this case.If it's been in an official press release, and *then* Control4 doesn't produce it, it's vaporware.Until it's actually a product, feature sets are in flux, and this is not a place where we would typically discuss those features.The reason we were showing it is to highlight the *direction* we're heading for Digital Video. We weren't using Control4's media player to play the media we were showing, we were using a Netgear piece.If you'll notice, the press release talking about video distribution does not even mention the Media Point:http://www.control4.com/company/press/2 … -Video.htmThe *direction* is the takeaway from the show, not the *unit*.RyanELast edited by RyanE (Sep-10-2008 06:30 PM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Unfortunately I've signed NDA's which prevent me from speaking about this. All I can say is I'm sure Control4 is destined to be the next Microsoft. It's going to take many years, but they are a significant force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
