[. . . ] The entire rear is covered with a soft texture that feels perfect against your palm. 2-Way RS-232 via MRX-1 Network Base Station The MRX-1 is a true bridge between the network and IR, RS-232 and relay-controlled devices. In addition, it provides 2-way status and feedback via RS-232 and a voltage/video sensor to network keypads and remotes. The MRX-1 serves as a "converter" to RS-232 controlled devices, enabling your MX-5000 to communicate over the network to an equipment rack located anywhere in your house. [. . . ] It provides 2-way on-TV content browsing and selection with cover art plus hundreds of discrete IR commands that enable "one touch to music" programming. It also offers on-remote GUI when installed with URC's award winning MX-6000, MX-5000 or KP-4000 keypad. Shortcuts to Any Content Instantly Without Menus The "Shortcuts" button makes navigating from videos to musical genres a simple process. Example: Touch the "Artists" button on the shortcuts screen to jump directly to the Artists menu. Unlike other iPod docks or traditional music servers, you are not forced to constantly navigate up, down, left and right through a maze of menus to access new audio video content. Explore Your Content: Shuffle Exactly What You Feel Like Listening To With other music servers, shuffle is a frustrating mix of too many kinds of music. With the PSX-2, shuffle becomes a powerful tool for listening and exploring your music collection. Imagine shuffling just your jazz, or just the songs of a particular artist. You can shuffle play any genre, any artist or any album at any time by simply accessing the MX-5000's shuffle screen. Play More From Imagine exploring all the hard rock albums of your youth with Shuffle Genres. When you hear a song you love, instead of having to browse through the hundreds of artists in your collection, you simply touch the "Play More From" button. By then selecting the "More from this Artist" button, all the songs from the current Artist will be played in sequential order. PC Server for MX-5000 Powered by Converts any PC with iTunes or Windows Media Player into a Powerful Music Server with an Intuitive, Friendly User Interface Instead of purchasing an expensive "Media PC" or dedicated music server, any PC with iTunes and/or Windows Media Player can be connected to your audio system to act as a high powered music server with the most engaging, intuitive user interface you've ever seen. Up to now, the complexity of having to deal with a keyboard and a mouse in your listening room has made this an uncomfortable choice. You know the frustrating feeling--some of your music was downloaded via iTunes and some of your music via Windows Media Player, you've had to keep separate libraries. Finding the music you paid for was difficult. MX-5000 Server is a software application that, once installed on a PC, combines your iTunes library with your Media Player library. The MX-5000 utilizes its network connection via WiFi to communicate with the server software on the PC. Since all communication happens at WiFi "G" speeds, there are no lags or delays displaying the information or lists on the screen of the MX-5000. All your cover art, artist, album and song title metadata appear on the screen of the MX-5000. Lists are navigated via the integrated Up and Down buttons on the remote without ever connecting a keyboard or mouse to the PC. You build a "queue" of whatever music in on your PC and shuffle or sequentially play it, just as you like. [. . . ] The user does not have to press any button to display the screen. Any movement of the MX-5000 renews the backlighting. Without movement, the touch screen stays lit for 1 to 99 seconds (programmed by the installer). Not Just Color, Animated Color! Powered by a 533MHz ARM9 microprocessor, the MX-5000 is designed for animation. [. . . ]
