Features Highlights
Front Control Panel
TriplePlay gives the user the ability to locally control the
operation of the receiver and view it’s status instantly.
You can even choose from 3 settings to dim the main display.
Multizone Display
TriplePlay provides access to a wealth of information from
a single display on the front cabinet. Capable of graphical
image display, multiple font and character sizes, the multizone
display gives the user instant status of the receiver in the
setup, category list, parental lock and normal modes of operation.
Flexible Control Options
TriplePlay can be controlled via the front panel, interface
to external distribution/controller units via the RS232 control
port, or from an IR remote control unit.
Full Function Remote Control
TriplePlay comes with a full function remote control. The
controller emulates the power of the receiver’s front
panel, giving the user complete control over all the receiver’s
functions.
Analog and Digital Outputs
Compatibility with the past, present and future is guaranteed
with TriplePlay’s analog and digital outputs. The receiver
supplies TOSLink Digital S/PDIF Output and RCA Stereo Outputs
for each zone.
Stream Lock Parental Control
TriplePlay features complete parental control over each channel
of programming – giving peace of mind. This feature
along with the Add/Skip Stream Lockout allows the selection
of channels to include and to not include when scanning up
and down the Channel list, Category list or simply pressing
the Up or Down buttons. A master password reset function can
also be enabled if the parental control code is forgotten.
Multiple Zone Presets
TriplePlay can store 10 possible presets for each zone. The
user can select the desired preset using the “Up/Down”
keys through all 10 presets or by using the 0-9 numbered buttons.
Channel Skip Control
TriplePlay can be programmed to designate a group of channels
that are the most desirable or to exclude undesirable channels
in the scanning process. While in operation, the entire universe
of channels may still be scanned using the regular channel
commands.
Antenna
TriplePlay comes with an easily installable high gain omnidirectional
antenna - small in size, big in performance.
Easy to install – Easy to operate
TriplePlay is designed for easy installation. In operation,
the satellite receiver needs only a single antenna to operate.
XM programming content via the single RF input is split
internally after demodulation into 3 data paths, each containing
the complete range of XM streams. Independent control
of each of the 3 sets of streams is achieved through the use
of wired or wireless controllers located remotely within the
3 zones of the house via a data port or infrared jack. Direct
control of the receiver can also be done through the use of
an infrared wireless remote control located at the receiver
or by pressing the appropriate buttons on the receiver cabinet.
For added convenience, Antex Electronics provides drivers
to communicate with controllers from a variety of providers
in the CEDIA channel including but not limited to Crestron,
Niles, Elan, Sonance etc.
The large main display on the receiver cabinet provides the
means to show PDT (Program Descriptive Text / Program Display
Text) data and other information necessary for the operation
of the TriplePlay receiver. The same information will be available
through a data port designed to connect to 3rd party remote
controllers located in each of the 3 zones. The satellite
receiver also lets you scroll categories and channels within
a specific zone individually.
TriplePlay provides multiple audio outputs, analog and digital,
to serve each of the 3 zones. All that’s then needed
is to connect the receiver’s analog and/or digital outputs
to an appropriate audio distribution controller.
