This would be cool.  Any plans?

I'm guessing we don't have this in Australia.  What is it, how is it controlled and where can I get a loan unit from?

Its the universal remote ipod dock

Its IP controlled with their remotes now, Crestron has an IP Module for control now,

Ah, it's THAT urc!  I always assumed RTI and URC didn't mix!

Shall keep my eye out for one to develop against.

There is a Crestron driver (developed by someone outside of Crestron) for the PSX2... I have to assume that it can be done for RTI.

Even the URC rep said that the Crestron guys are buying them left and right.

Well, good and bad news about this one.

First the good news.  I managed to get a bunch of 1-way commands working.  Basically you can control the onscreen GUI, select songs, play them etc.  So if you have it connected to a TV for feedback this works great.

The bad news.  The PSX-2 sends all the feedback via multicast UDP.  Guess which processors currently don't support this?  Yep, the XP6 and XP8.  Sucks right?

So if there's a need for a 1-way driver i'll put one out, otherwise start lobbying your local RTI employee to add multicast UDP support
