Gene Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Saw this posting on CEPro (there are actually 2 new articles on c4) and wondered if anyone has info on a new c4 remote?"Even so, it’s probably time for a refresh of the Control4 remotes, and the company plans to introduce a new one this year, according to VP Paul Williams."http://www.cepro.com/article/control4_loves_europe_new_drivers_london_tube_app_knx/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanE Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I do. Sorry, no information is currently publically available.Control4 does not typically pre-announce, or discuss future products, other than things like Paul mentioning it to CEPro.

Wishing C4 would come out with a remote like the Elan G's new remote...very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacdx Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hopefully not anything like a Pronto. I was an early adopter of those. After the novelty of the giant touch-screen wore off, all I wanted was hard buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhitaker@revit Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 well pronto closed it's door and c4 bought all the old stock so who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therodog Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'm just going to pretend I haven't bought 3 250s in the last 8 months. :<That being said, I can't complain TOO much about the 250 remotes. They're solid & work fine. Diving deep into their menus for some of the functions is a pain, and the lack of programmable buttons kind of sucks. I know, I know, there are programmable buttons, but many of those are spoken for already depending on the current task (Bluray, satellite, Xbox, etc.).What I'd like to see is a screen like on the Harmony's - screen for labeling programmable hard buttons on the outer edge. But predominately hard buttons ... giant touch screens suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigrzeye Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Would be nice to see a newly redesigned remote, although nothing drastically bad about the current design. SURE HOPES IT'S BACKWARD COMPATIBLE (never happen I know ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebery Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I don't see a replacement for the sr-250, but maybe wireless infinity edge units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 FYI, a wireless InfinityEdge would be a *touchpanel*, not a *remote* in Control4's terminology.Thus, Paul's comment doesn't cover that.RyanEEdited to Add: Changed 'announcement' to comment, since Paul didn't technically make an announcement...

strange_brew Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 As far as remotes go, I think the 250's rock. The WAF on them is very high and they stand up to kid abuse very well. Great piece of gear IMO. I would hope C4 is spending their time and effort in other areas that need it far more (media player anyone?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great piece of gear IMO. I would hope C4 is spending their time and effort in other areas that need it far more (media player anyone?).I agree that the SR250s are a really great remote. I'd love to see them add hdmi to the controllers while increasing processing speed in order to properly write an on screen DVD management interface that can rival XBMC/Boxee etc. The media player is great, as long as you use a Dune instead of the C4 unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgbrown Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 ^ Take it one step further. Why recreate the wheel in terms of media management. Just write an onscreen interface that can use the existing meta data, fan art, etc from My Movies or MMC - and forego the scraping, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
