AMX set for iPad compatibility

The controls systems specialist said no changes would have to be made to its existing technology, which communicates both directions – Apple to AMX and AMX to Apple.

‘AMX has two applications, one pre-designed and one customisable interface for using products like the Apple iPad to control an AMX system,’ said a spokeswoman. ‘Similarly, AMX applications allow AMX technology to control music or video on Apple devices like the iPod and Apple TV. According to Apple, existing integration applications will run on the iPad, so existing AMX tools for the iPod/iPhone are expected to work on the iPad upon its release. Nothing new will be required to integrate the iPad.’
