Xantech Adds Programmable Remote

Xantech, a manufacturer of signal processing and control systems, announced last week they’d begun shipping their XTR39 color LCD touch screen remote control. The XTR39 is priced at $999.

The XTR39, said Xantech, is an IR style remote control which sports a 3.9” color touch screen display. Features of this new programmable remote control include dedicated buttons for more frequently used commands such as volume and power, a touch wheel control for scrolling through on-screen menus and commands, a silver finish, included charging cradle and the ability to control multiple house systems such as A/V, lighting, climate control and more.

“The beauty of the XTR39 remote is that it takes many of the features that have made the Xantech SmartPad LCD wall-mounted touchpanels popular and puts that same control right in the user’s hand, making system operation more convenient than ever,” said Deanna Minnich, Director of Sales and Marketing for Xantech Corporation, in a statement.

Opinion: Amazon is pushing us toward a screenless future, and I kinda love it
amazon alexa earbuds fitness tracker price features release date

This past Wednesday, September 25, Amazon announced a veritable boatload of new gadgets. There were smart night lights, smart microwaves, smart glasses, and even smart rings; but despite the seemingly random nature of the devices that were announced, they all shared a common thread: a stark and clearly intentional lack of displays.

Now, don’t get me wrong; I don’t think Amazon is doing this for altruistic reasons. These gadget announcements definitely aren’t part of some elaborate scheme to usher in a screenless utopian future that Jeff Bezos envisioned during an acid trip at Burning Man. Rather, this is most likely a logical strategic move for Amazon. The company’s smartphones and tablets aren’t exactly outselling those from Apple and Samsung, but its Alexa-enabled smart speakers are a massive hit with consumers -- so it makes sense for the company to double (or quintuple) down on what’s working and pump out a bunch more voice-controlled gadgets.
