True Universal Voice Remote Control

Ambrid is the leader in home theatre voice control technology. With its easy to use, natural voice capabilities, anyone can control even the most complex home theatres.  There is no voice learning - anyone can pick up and command the Ambrid  - and there are no buttons to learn either.  Simply tell the Ambrid what to do. Watch a TV channel, listen to an album or artist or song, play a DVD or video gaming: Ambrid automatically sets up the devices and does the rest!  

Add or change components to your home theatre system easily - setup is a snap - and Ambrid will control all home theatre equipment or home automation systems.

Bring smart, sophisticated, and fun remote control to your entertainment room - a truly different experience - for far less than other control systems.

Simplify the Complex. The Ambrid system knows the entire cable lineup for each of your customers (as well as satellite radio).  That is why any user can just say "Fox News" or "ESPN" and have the home theatre go from off, to fully on with the correct channel in seconds. If the cable lineup changes, Ambrid automatically updates too. It also knows the entire range of the customers stored music and video.  Say "listen to music - artist Beatles", or say "show playlist" to see all the albums or CD covers in the media system (such as Kaleidescape).  Ambrid will perform all the possible fuctions each component is capable of, via spoken commands. Say "louder" or "show subtitles" - any command that the components can do, Ambrid controls with voice.   Ambrid solves the most difficult problems that you face in designing "high end" control for your "high end" components.

The Ambrid's advanced design provides the only comprehensive voice control for all home theatre equipment – and for all users.  It gives you the chance to show a clear differentiation for your solution right at the start of a sales cycle.  Ambrid delivers a unique, superior solution for home theatres of any size and delivers maximum simplicity, flexibility, and customization.  It is the most sophisticated entertainment system control in the world - a user experience like no other.

Voice is best. With combined hardware and software engineering advances, Ambrid SmartVoice^® technology lets anyone just say  “Watch DVD" or "Listen to Music". Ambrid automatically transitions and sets up each of the devices required. It delivers the long needed relief that button controls can’t accomplish.  Ambrid’s complex control and processing technology, coupled with breakthrough components is the next generation of home theatre control. Plus, while Ambrid already understands an unlimited vocabulary out of the box, you can easily add any commands your customer wants to perfrom any function.  Just type in the words - no training is needed!

Easy to use.  Users learn no buttons, and can ignore which devices need to operate.  With true one-command voice control – anyone can just tell the Ambrid handheld what to do.  Ambrid processes the request, and commands the multiple devices automatically.  And Ambrid knows what each component is doing, so when a user switches activities all your equipment responds accurately. Plus, installers have remote access (via the internet) to the system.  You can make changes and updates for your customer without a site visit.

Easy to set up.  Ambrid setup and configuration is fast and easy – it will shorten the time for a new theatre installation and can be added to an existing entertainment system. The Configurator (runs on the installer laptop) walks through the set-up by asking what home theater equipment is installed.  Once done, download the configuration to the base station.  The software has been purposefully designed to allow the Professional Installer to complete an installation in a fraction of the time that other controllers take.  The ease-of-setup features lower your cost of install and avoid configuration errors.

Any users – no learning.  SmartVoice^® technology understands the voice of any user right out of the box - no voice pattern learning is needed.  Even strong accents are understood.  No one has to be a technophile to use it - everyone from Grandma to  the baby sitter will command it with ease.  Just pick up the handheld and say an activity.

Easy to maintain.  Ambrid gives secure access on site, or from remote locations. Secure remote Internet access let’s you monitor operation or make any change requests of your customers from your office. You can deliver a higher level of service.  

Whole home & outdoors.  The Ambrid handheld works on RF transmission.  It sends through walls and cabinets - throughout the house and outdoors.  Users can command the system from anywhere – the patio, pool, or any room in the house.  

Up to date.  The device database includes thousands of manufacturers and their devices; everything from HDTVs to DVRs, VCRs to Tivo, media players and all the local and national cable TV stations.  It's constantly updated with new components so your remote will never be out-of-date.  Installers can add unique components with ease (input the codes directly or use the IR learning mode). All updates are web-available 24 hours a day.

Replaces all existing remotes.  Have a single remote to command any number of components at the same time.  Ambrid controls an unlimited number of devices via IR, RS-232/DB9, Ethernet and USB.  Easily add Ambrid to an existing Home Theatre in minutes.

Advanced, obvious technology.  Ambrid allows your customers to enjoy their system their way. Imagine all components and content — DVD, Cable, CDs, MP3s, cable TV, satellite radio — brought together in a single system and accessible by anyone via simple voice controls. With Ambrid, it’s all tied together in an astonishingly easy to use voice system   Unique and sophisticated, Ambrid makes the first item your customer uses – the controller – truly a exceptional experience. 

Ambrid technology really does revolutionize the standards for custom installers. The system is particularly well suited for running high end, complex home theatre installations. Yet it delivers a complete, cost-effective solution for systems of any scope or cost.
