Hi!
An article appeared in one of our local newspapers on Thursday, the
article discussed Apple's Airplay facilities available through IOS
devices and iTunes running on Mac or Windows PC's, Airplay allows the
user to stream audio/video from say an iPad to a compatible device such
as an Apple TV, Airport express and now! a whole new range of
surround-sound receivers and similar devices from Pioneer.
Other company's such as Denon and JBL have signed up with Apple to use
the Airplay technology so we're going to see some exciting products in
the not to distant future I'm sure.
Pioneer have just released 2 new surround-sound receivers equipped with
Airplay functionality, the first model retails for $1099.00 Australian
which isn't a bad price for a surround-sound receiver though the next
question will be how accessible the receiver is?
I take heart here because the receiver can be controlled by an iPad app
according to the article so those without vision are in with a good
chance of being able to control the receiver.
I've been saving for a new surround-sound receiver for quite some time
and I've had my eye on one of the Denon receivers and why? Because I
know it to be fully accessible, every function and setting can be
controlled through a HTML interface though now I know Denon to have
signed up with Apple to use the Airplay technology? Well I don't mind
waiting to see what sort of product Denon will release.
