INTRODUCTION

7 8

When Control4 and partner AV products are combined within a Control4 ecosystem, your

clients experience an immersive audio and video experience. Technology disappears, and

the user simply interacts with their favorite movies and music from an intuitive Control4

user interface.

At Control4, our commitment is to continue the development of innovative entertainment

solutions, while also expanding our driver database for third-party products—further

enhancing the Control4 audio/video experience and making Control4 your source for

all things AV.

The Control4 Ecosystem

About This Guide

The Entertainment Solutions Guide was created to provide dealers with a few system

examples, showing how Control4 and partner products can integrate in a Control4 ecosystem.

In addition, key products are highlighted to assist in the design and specification of media

distribution systems.

To learn even more about each product and view content such as product videos, data

sheets, documentation and more, be sure to visit the Control4 Portal. Detailed information

can easily be found by either browsing through the Products section or by entering the

product SKU number (listed in this guide) into the Search field of the Control4 Portal.

Control4 Entertainment Solutions are completely scalable from small to very large projects,

both residential and commercial. Start with just one room and add on when interests or needs

change. Or go big from the beginning and automate the entire home.

Following is an example of a small AV solution for a residential application. This model can be

expanded to fit larger projects by adding more rooms or zones of lighting, video and audio

with the applicable products.
