Control4 Driver - Reavon Blu-ray

INTEGRATE REAVON WITH CONTROL4

French company Archisoft, who also manufacturer Zappiti media players, has developed the Reavon brand to fill the void in the high-end 4K disc player market caused by the departure of Oppo and the general unavailability of Pioneer’s disc spinners.

The Chowmain Reavon Bluray Player driver for Control4 introduces the most advanced bi-directional control and feedback of Reavon bluray players for home theatre connoisseurs and audiophiles to help to create the perfect automated media experience.

From simply inserting a disc into the player the integration is smart enough to automatically turn on the system for audio consumption or video consumption. Lights will automatically dim upon disc playback and raise on pause or stop.

This integration is a must have for those who want the best experience for disc based media.

FEATURES

• Custom defined buttons for non intuitive buttons

• Play, Pause, Stop feedback

• Loading Disc, Scanning, Slow motion, Disk Tray Open feedback

• Disc Type (None, DVD, Data CD, Audio CD, SACD or Bluray) detection feedback

FAQ

What hardware will this work on?

This driver will work for the following models. It may also work with future models:

Note that the driver requires mixed communications (either IR or RS232 along with IP for feedback)

• UBR-X100
  • Communications - IR + IP
• UBR-X110
  • Communications - IR + IP
• UBR-X200
  • Communications - IR + IP or RS232 + IP

If you do not need feedback IP is not required.

Why do we need to do hybrid communications?

Unfortunately current generation Reavon models go to a deep sleep when it is powered off. As such the ethernet port turns off in this state.

RS232 on the UBR-X200 offers one-way control only as well.

As such we need to combine IR + IP for full two-way control or RS232 + IP for full two-way control

Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?

• Automatically start up the receiver when the user puts in an audio disc.
• Automatically start up the tv/projector and receiver when the user puts in a video disc.
• Automatically dim lights when the movie starts playing.
• Automatically raise the lights when the movie pauses or stops.
• Change receiver settings when audio discs or video discs are inserted.
• Utilise the awesome built in DAC for audiophiles.
