More details from Riedel (www.riedel.net):
As the world’s first control panel designed to serve as a powerful multifunctional user interface, the Riedel device boasts a unique feature set that includes three high-resolution, sunlight-readable, multitouch color displays; premium-quality stereo audio; a multilingual character set; and 18 keys in just 1 RU. These features make Riedel’s new Smartpanel a powerful user interface that can be further expanded through the use of apps.
Three apps are available offering different levels of functionality. With the “BASIC” app, users have 12 intercom keys and connectivity to RAVENNA/AES67 or AVB. The “PLUS” app also has 12 intercom keys and adds an analog audio port for 4-wire integration and three GPI/Os. The “PRO” app has 18 intercom keys and two analog audio ports for 4-wire integration, three GPI/Os, and the ability to connect an independent second headset. All three units can be expanded via an integrated options slot and are ready for add-ons as well as additional intercom and non-intercom apps. Riedel’s intercom app can be quickly and easily upgraded to the desired edition, without changing any hardware components.
