Control4 Home Area Network to be demonstrated at New Southern California Edison Exhibit

Control4

You will eventually get the “HAN”. Or at least we at C4Central hope so! HAN, or Home Area Network is Control4’s Energy monitoring and management platform that is being demonstrated in a big way in California. The New Southern California Edison Exhibit is giving the general population a chance to see how energy monitoring and management can actually play out in real life. And i am excited! They will be showing everything from a plug in car in the garage to energy efficient appliances. But lets not forget why we are here on this site.

Netgear ups the ante with the NeoTV 550 Ultimate HD media player, we’re cautiously optimistic for October

Netgear NeoTV 550

Going on sale in North America in October 2010 for a scant $220, Netgear’s NeoTV 550 improves upon the Digital Entertainer Live (that modified 5 port switch case with a so so media player crammed inside). This version ramps up to 1080p support (from 720p in the Live) and DTS multichannel audio, and codec support includes H.264, Mpeg-2, Mp4, AVI, Windows Media, and DivX/Xvid, among others. Read through to find more information, and a specification table. Hopefully we can get our mittens on one to determine if the existing IP driver for Control4 from the 8000/9100/9150 models will work, and what kind of experience is had with “HD Content” we have sitting around our network. We don’t know how it got there, honest.
