Velocity makes it easy and affordable to control your audio visual system via a single user interface.
Ditch your 10 remotes and trade it in for a single easy to use user interface
Audio visual technology is great, it makes our lives easier and more comfortable in a lot of ways. But, let’s be honest, there is a lot about these systems that are really annoying as well. In commercial and even home systems the number of components can really start to add up. And usually when a piece of gear is added, it comes with a remote control. By the time you are done designing the system you may have 10 – 15 remotes that all have a learning curve. So what’s the solution?
Atlona Velocity can take away the blues of manually controlling each device. Velocity is a control system by Atlona that is both easy to use and configure. Using one central control processor, Velocity can talk to all of the gear in the system that has communication built in, and control it using a touch screen or mobile device.
Velocity vs Crestron
There is no doubt about it Crestron is an excellent product. It’s scalable, reliable, and completely customizable. Crestron has some great stuff going for it, but for most people they do not need a complex and expensive control system. Most people need a reliable system that will control speaker volume, turn on the TV, switch to the right input, and control the source feeding the display. Crestron can absolutely do that but Crestron is also used by NASA and other high end complex use cases. To be frank, in most cases Crestron is overkill.
Velocity is a perfect for most commercial AV applications. Velocity can be configured with ease. You do not need a specialized programmer to come and make changes to your system. Velocity keeps labor costs low and leaves your budget open to improve the system that Velocity controls. If you are looking for simplicity matched with high quality solutions, go with Atlona’s Velocity control system.
