1.4.5.2 New Media and Hardware
The Control4
®
system Composer Pro now supports the following media and hardware:
• A new Navigator interface has replaced the interface used in Release 1.8.x and earlier. This
interface appears on all of the Touch Screens and On-Screen Navigators except for the Mini
Touch Screen and 10” Touch Screens. See the Control4 System Quick Start Guide and
Control4 System User Guide for details about how to use this interface.
• A new IO Extender has been added to the Control4 product line.
• A new Home Controller HC-1000 V3 has been added to the Control4 product line.
• Support for a network-attached storage (NAS) device for auto-discovery of AAC music
format.
• The AMG lookup service has been switched to Gracenote
®
. The Sony 777 Disc Changer
uses Gracenote, but the Media Controller can no longer access album, title, or artist
information from AMG. CDs, however, can be imported and will appear in the Media
Database with a date and time stamp.
• Other Media Manager: You can use other media managers, for example, iTunes, Windows
Media Player, and Media Monkey to create MP3s. You can still use Composer ME and HE to
add music files to Control4.
