Last week, whilst in Amsterdam at ISE 2019 (the largest integration systems trade show in the world) Ultamation were delighted to collect another Crestron Award … our 5th! This award was for Best GUI (Graphical User Interface) or in layman’s terms how our systems look and work through the touch panels.
This week saw the return of the largest Custom Installation Industry trade show with ISE 2019 at the RAI in Amsterdam. It is also the place where Crestron announce their annual award winners. This year we entered the Best GUI (Graphical User Interface) with a video entry showcasing our "Lamina" interface design.
Since the launch of SIMPLified2 six months ago many of you have downloaded the free version. As we're a helpful team here at Ultamation, from today we have set up a #SIMPLified2LuckyDip. When opening SIMPLified2 version 1.6 there's a chance you might unlock one of our analysers for your session.
It's simple, if you like it, let us know using #SIMPLified2LuckyDip and maybe even buy it - see our full suite here!
If you haven't heard about SIMPLified2 yet, read about it here with examples of a case study of how we use it at Ultamation Head Office or try it out for yourself here.
Ultamation have been developing a relationship with Hikvision recently, which has allowed us to bring Crestron integration to Hikvision NVR’s (Network Video Recorders). From reading various Crestron Programmers forums this is something that many of you have been after for quite some time, and something that no other module developers have managed to achieve.
Back in 2007, after 15 years in corporate IT and software development and a journey that took Sony PlayStation from a fridge sized prototype to the most popular console on the planet, Oliver Hall decided to move up north and set up his own business (Ultamation). Initially he was toying with creating our own home automation product. After considerable ‘tinkering’ and research, coupled with a visit to the CEDIA show down in London we quickly realised there was no need for us to create our own product – there were actually various brands already out there. And so began the process of which one best suited us, our values and which we felt would deliver the best solution for our clients.
Over the last few weeks Oliver has been asked to participate in two podcast that have been created specifically for the Custom Installation industry (we're guessing he's become so popular on the back of our recent global award win ;-)).
Based in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, Edge Cottage is anything but a cottage. Spread over two floors and a delightful mix of old and new, featuring stunning Zinc and Oak cladding details as well as corner to corner Sky-Frame opening system – this is truly a family home to behold.
We are beyond delighted to have been awarded the "Best Integrated Home Global" Award last night at the CEDIA Awards taking place at the British Museum in London. In addition, we also won the "Best Integrated Home Level II" - what a night!
This project was amazing teamwork with installation experts Intuitive Homes whom we work with on the majority of our projects; many of which have gone onto to win awards!
Following the announcement during Apple’s WWDC conference back in June 2018 that Apple TV would soon get IP control via Crestron, there has been much anticipation of what might be released. While people wait for something to appear on the horizon Ultamation have moved forward to deliver the only MediaRemote based integration module for Apple TV.
Ultamation is known for creating reliable, innovative and popular modules; but did you know we also sell hardware too?
Being honest, it’s just one item but we are very proud of what we’ve created. The Ultamation UC-DMX-200 is an Ethernet to DMX control interface for DIN rail mounting applications. It features complete control of an entire 512 channel DMX universe, the UC-DMX-200 provides the bridge between any programmable Ethernet based control system and a DMX lighting system (or any other DMX controlled devices).
