Here is the latest news on the xLobby room. Three xLobby systems are now working in the room to provide customers and end users with the ability to see how each system works by itself or together as if installed in a home setting. The first standard xLobby client with 4 zones of audio that can be controlled using 2 x 15″ touchscreens and a 12″ wi-fi tablet running xLobby xNet client server, a standard xLobby remote and a xLobby 95-1074TSR touchscreen Zigbee remote. The second xLobby client is a xLobby Blu-Ray machine for demontrating xLobbys ability to store and playback Blu-Ray dvd’s. The third xLobby is a xLobby mini client that is an in-expensive alternative for users that are just interested in simple content management and want a small quiet xLobby system with the ability to unlock features as needed.

The shot below shows the equipment rack and xLobbys inwall 15″, 10.4″ black touchscreens. The 15″ touchscreen has xLobby’s blue L.E.D lighting strip under the frame to provide accent lighting against the wall, this was done only for the xLobby demo room to provide a cool visual effect and is not a normal feature for stock units. Also note he blue accent lighting for the baseboard and crown moulding in the room. xLobby can control the brightness, colors and color changes by mixing L.E.Ds for different visual effects such as color fading flashing, etc.
