Control Your A/V Equipment from an HAI Touchscreen or iPhone
 The HAI Home Theater Extender 2 (HTX2) lets you extend
your home control to the existing audio/video equipment
in your home theater. Users can control their home theater
equipment from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch using the HAI
Snap-Link Mobile for iPhone app, and can control via an HAI
OmniTouch 5.7e Touchscreen.
The HTX 2 can send IR commands to your A/V equipment. Interfaces are customizable using HAI
Automation Studio, which allows you to set up pages to
control each A/V device in your household.
Send multiple commands to your A/V equipment from one button press on the Touchscreen. Turn on
your amplifier, select AM/FM tuner, and have it tune into your #3 pre-programmed station - all
with one button press.
Contact closures can even control window coverings, lights, as well as home theater components.
Automate any Room without an HAI controller!
With the HAI HTX 2, a customizable OmniTouch Touchscreen, and Automation Studio you
may automate any room, whether it is a home theater,  corporate boardroom, or a school's
classrooms. In lieu of an OmniTouch Touchscreen, users may also now use an iPhone app and an HTX stand-alone, so they have control from anywhere in the world.
You can set up a single button to close the curtains/shades, lower a screen, and
turn on the appropriate A/V equipment.
When you add an HAI home control system to this set up, you can add control of the room's
lighting, temperatures, and more to the same button on the Touchscreen.
How Does It Work?
An HAI HTX 2 requires an HAI IP-based customizable
OmniTouch Touchscreen and
HAI Automation Studio software.
The HAI Home Theater Extender (HTX 2) works with the OmniTouch 5.7e Touchscreen or iPhone/iPad,
to control your A/V equipment.
The Touchscreen/iPhone sends commands to the HTX 2,
which controls A/V equipment using its serial and IR ports, as well
as its SPDT relays.
The HAI HTX 2 must be configured using HAI Automation Studio software, and there
is no limit to the number of HAI HTX 2's that you may use in an installation.
Hardware Details
The HAI HTX 2 may be powered from the supplied 12VDC power supply that comes with the unit or via Power over
Ethernet (PoE).
The HAI HTX 2 has a built-in IR library with the IR codes for over 300,000 devices
and has the ability to learn new IR codes.
The ports on the HAI HTX 2 provide the following functions:
-
There is one bi-directional RS232 serial port available. The available baud rates on it are
300 - 115200.
-
The two I/O ports on the HAI HTX 2 are used for power sensing.
For example, since some devices do not have a discrete Power ON/OFF IR commands, you do not want to send this command to turn on the equipment if it is already on (this would turn the equipment off).
-
There are two Relay ports that may be used to control any device that requires a contact
closure, like a motorized screen or blinds. It may also be used to source and
switch 12VDC for power amplifier triggers. These Relays ports are rated at 2A @ 30 VDC.
-
There are four IR Emitters. They use standard 3.5mm IR blaster type connectors. Note that
the HAI HTX 2 comes with 4 Flashers (emitters) that have six foot cords.
-
There is an IR Leaner port that allows you to add custom learned IR keys to the HAI HTX 2. It uses
an IR #5 LED.
