With a robust 532-MHz i.MX CPU and 128 MB of nonvolatile flash memory, the XP-3 Advanced Control Processor is designed to take command of the entire electronics system - from A/V components to HVAC and everything in between. The processor offers a remarkable value with an impressive feature set that is unmatched in its class. Taking advantage of its formidable horsepower, the XP-3 features an astronomical clock for time-based events and a built-in ZigBee™ RF transceiver to allow bidirectional communications with compatible RTI remote controls. To facilitate integration of third-party devices into one seamless and cohesive system, the processor utilizes powerful two-way drivers for A/V, security, lighting, HVAC systems, etc. These drivers provide the user with instant feedback from these devices, delivering important information such as playlists, the status of a security system, climate information - even weather forecasts. For the ultimate in convenience at home or away, the XP-3 also supports the award-winning RTiPanel, which allows users to control and monitor an RTI system from popular Apple™ devices, and RTI’s Virtual Panel, providing control from any Internet-connected PC running Microsoft Windows™.

Features
The XP-3 is set apart from the pack by the unprecedented value it provides for both consumers and integrators. The processor is packed with all the advanced features consumers crave, outclassing rivaling processors that are offered at twice the price. The XP-3's astronomical clock gives users the power of system automation through time-based events, while its ability to utilize powerful two-way drivers for third-party devices turns a collection of separate components into one seamless system. And with a built-in ZigBee™ RF transceiver, users have access to instant feedback from these components right on their RTI handheld remote. To take the control experience beyond traditional devices, the XP-3 provides support for both the Virtual Panel and RTiPanel applications. RTI's Virtual Panel enables control from any Internet-connected PC running Microsoft Windows™. Raising the bar for control apps, the RTiPanel stands out with unique features such as full two-way feedback, a completely customizable user interface, and blazing fast connection speeds. The RTiPanel has been honored with a 2011 CEDIA Manufacturers' Excellence Award for Best New Product. In addition, RTI is the only control company that can offer integrators the simplicity of Integration Designer™ programming software, which was recently inducted into the CEDIA Product Hall of Fame. A powerful Windows™-based software, Integration Designer allows all aspects of the XP-3 processor - and the entire RTI control system family - to be programmed easily from any PC. With all of this and more, the XP-3 completely redefines the role of a central control processor.
