Integrates iPods with Crestron AV systems
Crestron has announced a new in-wall iPod docking station to complement an existing tabletop product. The CEN-IDOCV-DSW includes all of the same features as the desktop station, but allows users to mount in a wall with one of two separate mounting kits. The station can be fully integrated into a Crestron AV system through audio, video, USB, and Ethernet connectivity.
Users can thus control docked devices with any panel, APAD, keypad, computer or handheld remote integrated into the system. The dock also permits an iPod to connect with a networked computer running iTunes, and sync as if it were plugged in via USB. The front of the station includes a LOCAL button -- which permits navigation on an iPod without having to undock -- as well as a volume rocker.
Pricing information has not been published, but sales representatives for each state can be contacted through Crestron's website.

Why anyone would invest in proprietary Crestron or Leutron technology, when more affordable do-it-yourself options such as INSTEON and Z-Wave are available, is beyond me.
