CasaTunes for Nuvo Technologies Concerto

CasaTunes is targeted at integrators and custom installers and is designed for them to provide customers with the capability to manage and control Nuvo Technologies Concerto controllers from a PC, PDA, or web pad.





CasaTunes can be configured to offer customers a high quality; seamlessly integrated, lower cost PC based music server solution. By connecting one or more PC sound cards or Barix Exstreamer (networked MP3) devices as input sources to the Concerto controller, customers can select any music to play in any room using their existing Nuvo Technologies Concerto keypads.

Additionally, CasaTunes provides complete integration with iPod devices. To listen to music stored on an iPod device, users simply dock the device on the CasaTunes PC and are then able to select songs from the iPod device and control music playback using the Concerto keypads.

CasaTunes provides integrated AM/FM/WX and XM tuner support for Nuvo Technologies tuners. Once configured, users can quickly view and select stations and presets, as well as learn presets setup using the T2 Configurator.

CasaTunes can leverage the Serial Port built into the Barix Exstreamer devices. The serial ports on these devices can be used to control a Concerto controller or T2 tuner, greatly simplifying installation. Using this capability, installers can locate the Barix Exstreamer devices alongside the Concerto controller and T2 tuner in the equipment room or rack, and install the CasaTunes software on any existing PC in the house, eliminating the need to dedicate a PC or to move a PC into the equipment closet. The built-in Setup Wizard, similar to the Configurator software, ensures installers can configure CasaTunes in minutes, as well as automatically detecting the names of sources and zones setup using the Concerto Configurator Tool.
